Easily one of my favorites movies this year.

Awesome to hear mate as I’m very pumped to watch it :thumbs: Really looking forward to checking out Aquaman - The Exhibition down the road at Warner Bros Movie World later on in the week where you can go behind the scenes and explore set pieces, costumes and props from the movie set as it was filmed down here on the Gold Coast, Australia :joy::drool:

That's pretty cool. Share pics later if you can. :D

3d???????
No 3D = no purchase
100% need the 3D version, so I’ll wait
Kinda worrying this... Usually they include a 3D disc within the steel book along with a 4K disc, blu ray etc, depending on the studio. The fact that more 4K releases tend to come out as a steel book over 3D releases will be upsetting for some of us collectors… HMV have done a 3D steel book with every modern DC film as far as I remember. Similar thing with the latest Fantastic Beasts film, and you can only get that as an import from Amazon.de, and that release has foreign text all over it.

Just did a search and found this article from July 2017.

https://qz.com/1039936/imax-says-no-too-the-reign-of-3d-movies-is-over-in-us-cinemas/

EDIT: Basically the article is saying that while movie box office continues to grow, 3D box office continues to shrink.
Also, that the reason that movies are still being released in 3D is for China.

"Asia Pacific has by far the highest share of 3D screens of any region in the world. And Chinese moviegoers, in particular, have shown an affinity for 3D movies. The increasingly influential market gravitates toward the kind of over-the-top, computer-generated popcorn flicks that play well in three dimensions."

78% of all digital film screens in Asia are in 3D.
as a 3D fan myself with no current plan to change to 4K(seeing as its a clear choice of one or the other, am not sacrificing my 3D TV just for 4K) its a shame to see it dying here. This is the 4th release in the last couple months that is missing the 3D (Venom, Fantastic Beasts 2, Spider-verse and now this)
But it means I'll just get more picky and import more if thats the only option.
I've also been a 'no 3D no Sale' type person. Wont even settle for 3D ameray anymore am that snooty. lol

thank goodness for Blufans, Manta, Nova and kimchi(though less so the latter two of late)
 
Saw this last night in 3D IMAX
Incredible visuals and the 3D was pretty good
A great underwater Sci FI movie

However at home 4K is the way to go.
Just watch Blue Planet 2 in 4K the picture is incredible.
The IMAX scenes in the Dark Knight are also incredible

Can't wait to see this in 4K at home
Will preorder for sure

If one day the 3D quality will be improved, you don’t get a headache of watching it, don’t see blinking black screens, and there’s no need for an extra pair of glasses, I’m the first to buy 3D again.
For now I avoid 3D cinema viewings, 3D TVs and also try to avoid the 3D tax :happy:

I’m convinced it will return in a couple of years.

Also Wreck it Ralph 2, mission impossible fallout and I suppose bolt (steel) even though it’s not a new film

I don’t recognise these issues, except for the glasses of course. I remember from watching 3D at the cinema a few times, I didn’t like it so haven’t done that in a few years. But at home it’s a must for me. I use active glasses on a projector, quality is absolutely superb to me (as long as it’s well made, not always the case with some older releases not filmed in 3D).

Very sad to see that more and more releases lacks 3D, especially steelbook releases. Until it dies out completely, if it does which I hope not, I’ll continue to try and find 3D releases in some part of the world to keep enjoying it.

As promised here is a look into Aquaman - The Exhibition at Warner Bros. Movie World. Using an old dormant Show Stage this gives it an incredible advantage with height and space to show off some of the incredible set pieces.

To get an idea the height of these statues look how ginormous they are when compared to the 90cm/3ft chain railing.

Inside Black Manta’s Sub

The biggest highlight of the exhibition is being able to hop aboard Black Manta’s Attack Sub so you can closely examine and touch to give you that true behind the scenes experience :notworthy::cool::cigar:

The Xebellion Rifle is easily my most favourite weapon of choice here and actually looks even more epic in real life as it was hard to truly capture this with all the atmospheric lighting inside the Exhibition along with being behind a glass cabinet.

Couldn’t get as close as Mera’s Costume but was still able to get close enough to capture how fkn awesome Aquaman’s Costume is. The level of detail and dedication that has gone into this is simply amazing :cigar:

There was also a green room at the end aswell where you could get a photo with the Stars using abit of movie magic :cool:
