It was great to see them release Avatar 2 on blu ray 3D long after most big distributors stopped offering the immersive 3D format. An incredible 3D film that exceeds the 3D of the first and that 3D fans can thankfully enjoy at home. Please release Avatar 3 on blu ray 3D as well! The 3D fans will return to support it.

Being someone who does all their 3D viewing on projectors since 3D bluray came out, I'm definitely in for the 3D disc as well. The quality of 3D these days with the JVC laser series, like my NZ9, is just phenomenal, especially with a 150" image. You can't achieve that kind of immersion on a flat panel TV. Just annoying the format has dwindled down to barely anything just as the consumer display tech has gotten this good.

Nice one Shane. 100% 3D Blu-ray all the way for me on this one; zero interest in ever watching this one flat, however 4K crispy the 4K disc might be... Good point about those flat wide shots: James Cameron's not a fan of hyperstereo so, for good or bad, has always avoided "unrealistic" three dimensional landscape shots. PS To *really* try to replicate the film's cinematic HFR look, you'd have to turn your motion interpolation on & off every few seconds..!

Yeah, I can understand why Cameron keeps making the wide shots flat. But if it were left up to me, I'd probably say "Why not make the wide shots hyperstereo? It's a 3D movie isn't it? Why not use the 3D to its full advantage?" Thankfully though, those shots weren't too often and were heavily outweighed by the great shots. About the HFR, it's a little disappointing that didn't come with the 3D Blu-ray release. But honestly, I'd say it's a miracle we go the film on 3D Blu-ray at all.

Thank you for still reviewing optical media ! And reviewing the overall quality of the latest releases! The 3D Blu-ray of Avatar 2 is superb ! and thanks for suggesting the high frame rate ! I am watching on a Sony PS3 Super Slim with Sony Active shutter 3D on my beloved oldie but still substantially superior goodie; the Sony Bravia XBR65Z9D! After watching Avatar2 3D Blu-ray I watched Resident Evil After life 3D ( it was also filmed on Avatars Sony Fusion 3D Cameras). And I was so blown away by the gorgeous detail and depth of the Image and especially the lighting such as flash lights! I don’t care how many nitts an Oled or QLED can push ,when seeing the flashlights for the first time in 3D this is a whole nother level of realism and depth .Same can be said about Avatar with its water and glowing night and heavy daylight scenes . This depth leaves you with an actual 3rd dimensional memory imprint of the movie .which is an imprinted feeling of had been there in real life compared to any 2D 4K TV that is forgettable. I hope Apple helps 3D return with its pro vision. Also what you see on the Avatar 2 ,4K transfer is up scaled as a true native 4K rendered CGI film is decades away because raw processing power to run real-time proxy previews is non existent . Keep doing what your doing and don’t forget to have fun.

Will likely pick up the 3D version to enjoy on my 75Z9D. 👍 I think a reason you’re not seeing a big resolution difference between this and the 4K UHD disc is because your Panasonic does an amazing job upscaling. I recently watched Avatar 1 3D on my UB820 and it looked like a 4K disc no joke. I was mesmerized by how good it looked.

Each of your eyes are seeing a completly seperate 1080p image (with shutter glasses anyway). 3D always looked razer sharp to me on my projector vs a 1080p 2D as your brain is seeing 2 slightly different views of the world (seeing different details) and joining it all up in your head to produce what is effectively a high detail/resolution image than 1080p 2D, if that makes sense.

Great review. Definitely 3D for me. Glad you mentioned Pacific Rim. I LOVED that movie in 3D. With how amazing that movie was in addition to the first Avatar movie who would have thought the state of 3D at home would be what it is today. With that said I can't wait to watch this movie in 3D. So glad they released it on 2 discs rather than 1. I actually had my TV convert it in 3D when I bought the digital release so I can't wait to see how much better the 3D disc will be. I am still hoping for a 3D Blu-ray of The Abyss. I really hope that happens. My 3D Blu-ray player is my PS3 and my 3D display is an LG HD 3D TV.

I discovered I can watch 3D movies with Oculus Quest 2. I never really watched any from beginning to end yet. My first experience was really bad and ditched the idea, but I later realized it was because of low quality half side by side conversion (probably meant for 3d tv's) . I'm now converting Avatar 1 myself, testing different quality setting but I'm already quite impressed with some 10 minutes of watching.

I saw this in 3D twice in cinemas, I felt it was great in the beginning, but not so much at the end, and I wondered if maybe my eyes were adjusting and ignoring the 3D depth as anything special at the tail end of 3 hours, or if the effect wasn't consistent throughout (or maybe a bit of both). I am picking up the 3D version, but Sweden is not getting its own 3D release so I'll have to import it. Haven't seen Pacific Rim in 3D, wasn't the biggest fan of that movie when I first saw it. For me personally my reference for great 3D is Thor Ragnarok, I will always watch that one in 3D for as long as I have 3D equipment.

You also did a review of the Sony XW6000es Projector using an expand 3d kit and RF glasses. My question to you is: Can the Sony projector do Passive 3D as well. The projector specs say "full 3D support" does that mean it can produce the 3D image; with passive glasses used like the Theaters and my passive LG OLED 3DTV. RF glasses gives me and the family headaches. My Sony 46" 3DTV with RF glasses are headed to the dumpster. ps. I bought the Avatar 3D movies.

But in my opinion, I think there are a few films, including this one, that just edge out over it. This one in particular just had more to work with in terms of 3D because of all the water scenes. That's just my thought though. Still, while I am curious to see for myself how the 4K version works out, I know 3D will still be the definitive way to see it. It's definitely a real shame that 3D Blu-ray nowadays is kinda on life support. It's up to people like us to keep it alive. Personally, I'm still holding out hope that Puss in Boots 2 and Jaws (1975) will make their way onto 3D Blu-ray someday.

Dang, thank you so much for making this! The specifics were really helpful, I absolutely love how you approach this. I'm curious about the shots that appear more shallow that you referred to (space, etc). Could it be that things shot with a long telephoto lens (whether real or virtual) don't garner the same separation? I don't have a copy to reference, but it reminds me of looking through binoculars, where very far objects still look almost like they're in a single plane. I presume it's because really far objects yield near-same images on each retina/camera. Something really far and something at infinity would appear about the same in terms of eye angle. Close objects. however, have much more eye angle changes for relatively minor differences in distance. I could have some of that wrong, I just find it really fascinating. So I wonder if their choice in telephoto/angle of view for those shots (if that's actually what they did) is what inherently made them that way. Anyway, thanks again, have a good one!

However it's currently still a prototype that I won't get until August 2023. At that point I was thinking of upgrading to the AWOL 3500 because it does 3D? How do you find it?

@@MrBjorn6 I also have a Z9D, still rocking strong! The 3500 is the best 3D projector we have used in it's price point. We had Epsons before (5040 and 6050) and while those lcds were nice and bright they suffered ghosting. I've had the 3500 since December and am very happy. DLP Laser is they way, esp for 3D on our white 1.4 gain screen. We have around 300 3D Blurays so it was important to us to find a great Pj. The 3500 also looks fantastic in HDR though we do use madVR for its SDR2020. Plus Dolby Vision is in Alpha at Awol, so hopefully that official release is a month or two away. Happy to answer any other questions if you got 'em.

Please make sure that you see a 3D movie (particularly this one) on a Virtual Reality screen at some point in your life (recommend Skybox VR for playback). It's a game changer. And headsets will only get more comfortable and higher resolution. And before you totally crap on my comment if you hate VR, remember, 3D is booming there and it just may keep the 3D home viewing industry on life support and into recovery.

3D TV surpasses 2D TV, but like Polyphonic Aftertouch with release velocity on electronic synth keyboards used to create movie soundtracks, 3D TV was dropped because of majority consumer choice allowing it. There is a reason 1990's low resolution DVD's at Walmart still outsell Bluray and 4K disks to be used on high definition 4K TV's in 2023, which is somewhat like buying a 1.4 meg floppy disk sold during the same DVD format time period for use with a new 2024 laptop computer. But consumers don't like being taken advantage of and learn as technology grows and many people now want 3D TV brought back just like Polyphonic Aftertouch which is now a much desired "new" feature being implemented again better than before thanks to ASM and KORG as well as a few other companies like Waldorf and Yamaha putting Poly AT back in use. So 3D TV will be brought back too IMO with immense improvements but not until consumers stop buying DVDs when replacing their worn out 4K TV for another 4K or 8K TV. Selling DVD keeps Blu-ray prices up, and having both outdated formats still available keeps 4K disk prices up even higher. One issue 3D TV encountered adding misinformation was the discovery some people have poor 3D eyesight in need of correction due to one weak eye causing eyestrain and even headaches for a small minority of people resulting in enough bad reviews to make 3D seem like a gimmick to people who never tried it and a problematic format due to the small minority of people with poor 3D eyesight making a lot of noise about it. In reality watching 3D TV can correct a weak eye like an eye patch put on the stronger eye to balance out both eyes restoring normal balanced 3D vision. If you use a telescope a lot you will find the eye in use becomes the strong eye and when you switch eyes you don't process what you see as well showing the brain has something to do with it as well so can't wait to see what 3D TV becomes in time.
