Blade Runner 2049 (hmv Exclusive) Limited Edition Mondo Steelbook Includes 4K, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray & Digital Download (Artwork TBC)
Denis Villeneuve directs this sequel to the 1982 sci-fi thriller ‘Blade Runner’. Three decades after the events of ‘Blade Runner’, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling) discovers a secret, covered up by replicant designer Neander Wallace (Jared Leto), that could completely destroy what remains of society. In need of assistance, K seeks out former blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) to help him stop the production of replicants once and for all.
Preordered. I’m interested to see the article in mention of a 3D disc included but I don’t think that Blade Runner 2049 has a 3D version available?
Yeah there are 3D screenings of this one.
Thanks for the info. Wasn’t aware of 3D, they are maybe IMAX only though.
No, it’s regular 3D as well. All my local non-IMAX cinemas have it
My two local cinemas have almost completely phased out 3D so when I get a chance to get 3D steelbooks I always get them.
I’m doing my very best to avoid 3D screenings. Utter waste of time and money. The first film managed to be visual masterpiece just fine with the “help” of 3D
Not a fan of 3D then? LOL! Each to there own I suppose 🙂
Not a fan at all. I’ve seen no 3D film that was made better in 3D. Often the opposite. Just distracting. And given them most are conversions rather than real 3D, even more so. It’s telling that TV manufacturers are walking away from it. Sky and BBC have long since abandoned it
But obviously you need to justify the money you spent on your TV and player, so go wild ?
I genuinely love 3D when its done right. Yes some bad conversions have gave the format a bad reputation but I can’t see how anyone doesn’t think Avatar, Life of Pi, Gravity, Hugo, Dredd and other movies that where specifically designed for 3D don’t look amazing. Granted 3D at home is better quality than the cinema. I know one of my best mates can’t watch 3D as it gives him a headache. Again each to their own. Just don’t discriminate against 3D release’s in your news 😉
Love 3D. Done right, makes the movie so much better.
3d only really works in my opinion if you sit in the centre of the screen. Anything off and loose the quality! Also offers nothing to the picture at all and makes for uncomfortable viewing.
Well said Alistair. Both Guardians have been amazing in 3D as well as Pacific Rim. One that really blew me away was Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol. Incredible. Like you said, 3D is superb if done right and can add a lot to a movie when you watch it.
Oh another one I forgot about now that you mention Robert Zemeckis is The Walk, how people can say that 3D doesn’t add to that movie is talking pure nonsense.
