Not sure if I like this. First this movie should not be messed with and left alone. Second, I like the FS version a lot better. All that being said, I will more than likely pick it up, depending on back and inside art.

Feeling very eh about this one. The title in particular is kind of killing it for me.

 

[Flip]

prefer the canadian version , this is one movie that doesn't need 3D

 

[elchipo]

Is it just me, but 3D doesn't sound good with 1939 ...

Looks like it could be a Walmart exclusive as Walmart are listing an exclusive 3D version:

Glad I could care less about 3D right now. At 34.00 Walmart can keep it.

Very appropriate for the updated version!!! You want to stay and get left behind...?Stay away... lol...this is mine..
Once you go 3D, you never go back...

it is a little odd they're converting a movie from 1939, but it's not like the 3D is from 1939. I'm sure it'll look great.

Hitchcock filmed in 3D during the 50's, btw...

I couldn't disagree more. Half the time I find the effects overdone and in the way (especially the obvious, "hey look we're throwing something at the screen" shots that would've otherwise been thrown out on the cutting room floor) or hardly present enough to be noticeable. Hell, I still don't have 3D glasses for my plasma TV. Maybe someday 3D will feel natural and bring something to the medium, but I feel like we are still a good way off from that.

 

[urbeenjammin]

That's because you need to see it in a BIG screen where you will feel totally immersed within the movie... To each his own

Another interesting release from the US/CA

I think the 3D will probably work a lot better than people imagine but I don't think they should be converting films like this to 3D. These are classics and don't need to be tinkered with IMO.

 

[urbeenjammin]

That's the same argument a few years ago about converting black and white movies to color. You are not forced to accept any conversions you don't believe in.

Very true and that's why it's just my opinion, I always prefer to watch it the way the director intended! Anyway back to the Steelbook!

Try telling that to a 'Star Wars' fan.

 

[lgans316]

Will buy if the quality and finishing is good.

 

[nkb32]

Hmm. The cover looks a bit cheesy but I think it will match the blufans release of Oz alot better than the FS version. Im in for one I think.

 

[jimmyv]

Glossy with nice inside art and I might be in for this.

Or a nice quality matte finish could be ok but not first choice.

Dull color robbing matte finish with blank steel on the inside and they can take a flyin leap.

Its wb so i wouldnt expect much. Wb releases have sucked in the us so far.
