Many prefer the LOTR trilogy but I actually preferred the Hobbit trilogy better. Once you start it’s hard to stop
Yet another occurrence of The 3D discs looking brilliant for the Hobbit trilogy

Man you are screwed if all manufacturers stop doing 3DYet another occurrence of The 3D discs looking brilliant for the Hobbit trilogy![]()

LOL but in all seriousness almost all if not all TV manufacturers have dropped 3D, Epson the biggest projector company in the world has dropped it on their latest and greatest models it doesn't look great for the long term future of 3D.thats not a thank you..thats praying emoji am giving you![]()
I dont mind TVs not having 3D ...even my pioneer kuro from over decade ago didnt have 3D or my sony a90J now... 3D never made sense with TVs... just too small for immersion and it was a bit comical the little screen and things popping out..LOL but in all seriousness almost all if not all TV manufacturers have dropped 3D, Epson the biggest projector company in the world has dropped it on their latest and greatest models it doesn't look great for the long term future of 3D.
while there are enough folk praying for it not to be .. it unlikely will ever happenThough maybe the polar ice caps might have melted before this happens.![]()

Well worth it, 3D needs a little tweaking but even by eye it’s very very good!.I have them all in 3D…. only watched the 2D discs. Maybe I will dust the 3D glasses off and have a look.

Yes, love that film.Phantom of the opera ?
Agree, really enjoyed that.Watched, Nobody tonight very good film and will give your sub a workout.
Very special if you ask meWatched Clock Work Orange on 4k uhd blu-ray via JVC N7. Its a movie I have somehow never seen before... so no frame of reference of the past. Theres quite a bit to get over ... get through...I dont think a movie like this could be contemplated or even made today ....
Picture wise, i have not i am sure ever come across a better restoration... this movie is 50 years old ! and gosh bot picture and even audio is pretty amazing.

I bet you they just cant make a movie like this these days...Very special if you ask me
They don't make movies like this anymore. What a shame.
even the key role... but i think it was to pan out the juvenile nature in some cases...but yes some silly acting in some places.... there is definitely plenty of "what the hell ? " scenes through out the movieThere is a bit of silly acting here and there where actors are laughing when they should not etc. (rape scene etc.) but in general it is something else![]()
I forgot I had these! Might have to subject my wife to a 3D sessionWell worth it, 3D needs a little tweaking but even by eye it’s very very good!.
Well my wife liked them so hope yours will to !.I forgot I had these! Might have to subject my wife to a 3D sessionView attachment 1593986
She never liked science fiction or fantasy subjects before she met me but I’ve turned her to the dark side!Well my wife liked them so hope yours will to !.
great shots ! in the early days of blu-ray this was one of first using the genesis 2k digital shot movies.... i remember seeing apocalypto and remember a few aspects its pace and very clean looking scenes...Apocalypto 1080P
I must admit I was surprised by the quality considering it must be 15 or so years old. I can’t do horror that play on your mind but a good thriller with a bit of gore is OK.great shots ! in the early days of blu-ray this was one of first using the genesis 2k digital shot movies.... i remember seeing apocalypto and remember a few aspects its pace and very clean looking scenes...
there were parts made stomach churn though ! and been always remembering the movie and hesitant to re watchamazed you watched this one luminated, given movies you have said dont like watching ... wouldnt have thought your cup of tea

Really good film, as a director it’s either this or Hacksaw Ridge for me. As an actor Mad Max 2 is my favourite. Unfortunately with Gibson you definitely have to remove the artist from the art, the man is a disaster.Apocalypto 1080P
IMO it’s Mel Gibson’s best movie, shocking brutality but compelling viewing none the less.
Big fan of Apocalypto. I would not call it brutal but realistic. Real life is brutal, we just mostly don't experience it in our cosy 21st century 1st world version of it.Apocalypto 1080P

It’s realistic much like Saving Private Ryan, Jury, the Pacific, Schindler's List etc all showing the brutality of war.Big fan of Apocalypto. I would not call it brutal but realistic. Real life is brutal, we just mostly don't experience it in our cosy 21st century 1st world version of it.
What I am trying to say is that it is brutal but in realistic way when and where it is needed so the brutality is justified by what is happening on the screen.
I don't like movies where brutality is forced to forefront without any reason or sense like in John Wick for example and many more.
