S3D Movie samples

[android78]

I recently noticed that there are S3D movies being release on DVD and BD, and I'm interested in getting them, but would not want to purchase these without being able to test a sample with my setup. Especially since most seem to be released in anaglyph and my experience with my current TV (52" LCD Samsung Series 6) has not been favorable with anaglyph.
I would, however, be interest in purchasing them if they were at least reasonable S3D effect. Does anyone know where I could get a few short (5 min or so) samples of the S3D movies to test on my system. Movies like 'Journey To The Center of the Earth' for example. I almost just bought this on BD except then I read many people saying that they could hardly notice any stereoscopic effect at all which put me off.

That would be great to preview a bit of the movie before buying, the 3D DVDs seem to retain their higher price tag for a long time whereas a 2D DVD movie can be had very cheaply a few week/months after release.

If you are talking about the field sequential and not the anaglyph version, the FS version is just converted with de-anaglyph software from what I've seen, so I has ghosts/artifacts sometimes left over from the original magenta/green.

Lol, that's so wrong... The movie industry still seems oblivious to home s3d solution owners. A shame.

Well they did release a true S-3D field sequential version of Spy Kids 3D.

It is too bad that S-3D movies are so underground.

Hopefully the 3D trends being set these days will show the movie industry we want to buy their movies in true S-3D and they will release legal S-3D versions of some of the classics as well as the current films.

Now I have to buy a BluRay player.

This page has Side by Side images from Journey to the Center of the Earth FS.

And TBH, I failed to see any 3D in the BluRay Magnta/Green version. The supplied glasses gave impressive 3D with My Bloody Valentine 3D though! So I think this movie just sucks for 3D, let alone its content. (A cellphone, that far under the earth. Wow, thats some impressive Cell-coverage)

Yeah, that's the exact movie I was talking about, it is converted from anaglyph.

These are untouched screen grabs:


On the left image it is easy to see the anaglyph artifacts.


Also, the part where the man points the tape measure at the camera has serious anaglyph "leftovers".
