Yes, you are immersed into Hugo's world. The train station, the the gears and workings of the clock, the streets of Paris. Every shot is pure cinema. I read a review of the disc that claimed it was plagued with cross-talk (ghosting). I saw not one instance of that. It seems that these reviewers are all using an Active 3D system. They need to switch to Passive. In fact, of all the films I've watched on my Passive set, I only ever noticed one instance (and it was truly an instance), of cross-talk. In the film YOGI BEAR, there is a quick shot of Yogi (at the beginning of the film), on a zip line. For about 1 second, the zip line is ghosted. That's it. This reviewer recommended the 2D version because of the problem. It has to be his set, or Blu-ray player, because there is nothing wrong with the 3D on the disc. Quite the opposite, it is a demo-worthy disc.

There is no ghosting on my television. Is your system Active or Passive? It seems to me, the Active system has the most issue with this. PACIFIC RIM looks and sounds great.

Agree 100% about HUGO as a movie John.
By the way, and well off topic, I was looking through some pictures the other day and came across that great one of you, Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Morse.
It reminded me of your kindness in acquiring for me and transatlantic shipping of the MAD MAD WORLD Blu Ray.
I never forget a favour. Please let me know if I can ever reciprocate.
Kind Regards,
Frank.
I had completely forgotten I even did that. So, obviously, no reciprocation is required. Thanks for the offer, though! I just spoke to Robert Morse, yesterday. He's a nut.

I prefer TITANIC in 3D.

I finally saw AVATAR. I completely skipped it due to its off-putting trailers. I saw 2 different ones (one in IMAX 3D), and was completely turned off to the idea of ever seeing it. Now, with 3D television, I'm always looks for content. I enjoyed it. I didn't love it, but it was nowhere near as horrible as the trailers implied it would be. Wonderful 3D. HOUSE OF WAX, however, remains the 3D king. As for TRON LEGACY, I saw that in theaters and was not all that blown away by its 3D. I do not own the disc, but my son does. I need to ask him what he thinks of it. I have JOURNEY2 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, yet to watch. I've heard excellent things about its 3D.

Just snapped up Avatar myself. A steal at its current price-point, I bought it on technical grounds alone. Glad I did, given the immersiveness the first few minutes. I'd seen it in theaters, but not since. The 3D is actually more aggressive than a lot of the films made since with the same camera system. It's dazzling, almost numbingly so...which is why I've been watching it in pieces and quitting when my eyes feel gorged. I hope Cameron breaks things up a bit with his sequels and isn't afraid to balance eye candy with occasional restraint. Otherwise, "awesome" gets boring. It doesn't help that for me, Avatar's an exercise in narrative tedium. That said, for the occassional pop-in, it's great demo material of what I agree is LG's fantastic passive 3D.
Thanks for the feedback on Tron. I'll let you know how it plays on an LG if I pull the trigger on a copy.

47 or 50 would be fine. The one advantage that Active has over Passive, is that you can go really big on the picture, and you're fine, because it's using the shutters of the glasses to give the effect. On a Passive set, it's using the lines of resolution to do that. The bigger the set, I would think the more aware you become of the lines. However, I'm no expert on the subject. I used to think that you had to go much bigger for the 3D experience, and it's not true. I first saw the LG Passive, on a 42 inch model, and I was sold.
I have an active 3d system on a 100 inch projected from a projector picture and I couldn't be happier with it. Some of my favorite 3d titles are JURASSIC PARK and TINTIN.

Passive 3D has made great strides in quality in the past couple of years, but it still doesn't equal the quality of a good active system. I've had my 58-inch Panasonic plasma for about 3 years now, and it is still far and away better than any passive system on the market.
That said, I'm considering a second 3D television for my game room (probably in the 42-inch range) and am seriously considering going passive. Wearing the passive glasses is just easier on the eyes than the active glasses.
"Hugo," "Avatar" and "The Adventures of Tin Tin" are great examples of how good 3D can be, and I am looking forward to adding "Gravity" to my collection as well. For older movies, "Dial M For Murder" has a lot of ghosting issues, but I think that the original source is the issue. "Creature From The Black Lagoon" is surprising very nice in 3D. Out of curiosity, I got the 3D conversion of "The Wizard of Oz" and found it to be completely unnecessary. While it was a very well done conversion, it just did not add anything to the movie.
Anyway, that's my ramblings on the subject. I hope 3D is here to stay, because when done well, it adds so much to the movie experience.
