I am amused that I was completely unaware that there were 3d blurays. Any that are worth trying to get ahold of to play with?
There’s also a few gems and lesser known films that were released on 3D Blu-Ray like Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder, which was shot in 3D but wasn’t originally released in the format because the 3D fad died by the time the it came out.
They’re hard to watch because 3D TVs were so unsuccessful. You often need a special Blu-Ray player, and I don’t know of any streaming service that supports 3D.
3D TVs were too far ahead of their time. 3D works far better on 4K than on 1080 since each eye only gets half the image, (though the 4K 3D format doesn’t exist) so it would be nice to see it make a comeback on VR. While 4K and HDR are much better I still miss the occasional 3D film.
Most blu ray players (even the 4k ones) still support 3d since the only thing needed is to pass the image with a '3d' flag set. The rest is up to the display.
Personally I'd like to add the movies "Hugo" and "The Martian" ;)
Be aware 3D BluRays won't play without a 3D display, like a 3D TV, or a PSVR...
For PSVR it will be lower res than ideal, and due to the BluRay player not using the camera for tracking the headset, will drift slowly to the side. (As I said, Sony's not been good for non-game PSVR support).
Finding 3D BluRays is the trickier part. I've found it easier to order region free disks from amazon.co.uk than trying to find anything in Canada.
