Journey to the Center of the Earth [Blu-ray]

Unfortunately the 3D section of the film was monochrome even with the proper glasses and that was totally disapointing......Nevertheless the film can be seen pleasently....

I am a 3D devotee. I have sampled the shutter-glass TV technology, and the various 3D available in the movie theaters. The blu-ray format for Journey uses a red/green anaglyph rather than the more common red/blue. This may be a matter of taste. The concept of 3D is used best used to draw the viewer into the action. This was done well in the movie "Spy Kids 3D". There is always the use of "coming at you" in the 3D which should be used with discretion. Journey over-uses this concept in a very predictable manner. Nevertheless, it is used well in the action scenes.

this is what blu-ray was meant for.journey is based on the jules verne book of the same name.360% diferent then the 1958 movie with james mason and pat boone.
without getting into the story,which won't burn deep in anyone memory
bank it does do what it was meant to do, intertain!this blu-ray comes with a slip 3d case,2d and 3d versions and a bonus digital copy.
the 3d is first rate,most likely better then the sd dvd.
from the opening new line cinema[which come right at you]to a t-rex that wants to eat you!flying fish with huge teeth,sparks from the lava that come at you and around you,its 3d at its best.the 3d process,well there is a trade off,colors are not as defined as a 2d movie and some ghosting acures,but all in all its great fun,the surround sound is active in all speakers,but no dolby digital true hd.but a dolby digital 5.1 which is at a higher bit rate then on a sd dvd.
to sum it up this movie is a hoot and if you never have seen a 3d film this is the one!
one more thing, with blu-ray players prices dropping like a lead baloon[500.00 to a 1000.00 last year],this year a couple hundred and big friday around the corner,it makes sense to jump to blu-ray...enjoy

Goof family movie, really bad 3d. the opening credits are great then after that washed out and wow did it give you a headache.

To start with, I bought the version that has the 2D and 3D versions plus glasses and SUPPOSEDLY a digital copy included - Not the BluRay version, but basically the same specs. The cheesy part is that after buying that version in part to get the digital copy (why I paid more instead of buying this version for $15...) and THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THE DIGITAL COPY. Unlike Hellboy 2 that includes a disc with the digital copy.

Also, I've about reached my limit on buying from Amazon when their version details on new and upcoming releases have become so poor. I don't know what has changed - you used to actually be able to tell the specifics about DVDs before you buy them.

The movie itself is fun. I enjoyed it a lot. I am not a fan of 3D and it gave me a headache watching it with the glasses (as I said, I only bought this version to get the digital copy too...). It is escapist fare that is good family fun without being bland. I'm sure I will watch it over and over but apparently not on my iPhone till I'm over being angry at Warner Brothers for their false advertising. Sorry to rant, but others should know before they buy.
