3-D that WORKS~!, December 6, 2008

Trevor: Hey, look at all the shist.Sean: What?Trevor: It's a metamorphic rock. Green shist, white shist, micro-guarded shist-Sean: Oh. Shist.This adaptation of the Jules Verne classic novel features Trevor, a goofy volcanologist (Brendan Fraser), his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and Hannah, a canny Icelandic tour guide (Anita Briem).While on a hastily arranged expedition to Iceland to retrieve data from a previously dormant volcanic sensor gadget, the trio emulates Alice by falling down a hole. Curiouser and curiouser, they end up not in Wonderland, but in a lost world, where long-extinct phosphorescent birds flutter by and the flying fish have a serious case of overbite.Using the storyline of a missing brother and misunderstood Vernian volcanologists, the little group wanders around the treacherous terrain, overcoming insurmountable odds and horrible hardship (Eat your Trilobite, Sean) before reaching the grandly preposterous...

Received, the movie today, two sided DVD had the 3D side facing up! The 3D "glasses" scratched the disc. Loves the movie though.

Don't try to play this on an old fashioned CRT TV set - it won't work and will give you a headache.BUT..Put this DVD in your COMPUTER's DVD Player and get ready to be blown away. I upgraded monitors and both worked perfectly. My LCD HDTV would have worked better and be bigger, but I never got the colors to match up as perfectly as they did on my Computer's WS LCD (Media Center 2005). You get 4 pair of Red-Blue glasses, which, although, sometimes one would wish that the Set Directors would have chosen better set and costume colors for this Anaglyph version of the 3-D Polarized version that was shown in Theatres, the effect is surprisingly viewable for those who don't mind getting a headache from focusing on things as the scene changes.This should be a wake up call to all those 3-D movies that were released in Theatre's in the 50s. "Creature from the Black Lagoon" would be stunning. MORE 3-D, MORE 3-D~!
