Friday the 13th part 3 in 3-D, or pure disappointment in a dvd case.

[Jeff The Ninja]

First off, the packaging in this release is fantastic, the 3D glasses look awesome (especially when compared to the Elm Street box set pair) and im a sucker for any cover with that kind of 3D thingy on the cover.

The problem i have is with the actual 3D movie, Namely that nothing works, things only look good when they are really far away, but any kind of close up scare falls flat because you end up seeing double. If anything, it makes it much less enjoyable to watch as a result.

Also, ive heard that the original release didnt use the Red Cyan glasses that the movie came packaged with. Is this true.

Thanks for telling me, I asked Rog when he did his review and he never said if the 3d was good or not.

I'm glad you said something because I was seriously considering it and that sort of thing is a big expenditure for me.

It depends on how much you are willing to spend really. I found it for 25 bux packaged with part 1 uncut (Which is very much worth it just to see Kevin Bacon's death scene in all its glory) and if you don't have the Box Set, then its worth getting as Part 3 is one of the better movies in the series and the Glasses, as I said above, look awesome and are a pretty cool collectors item.

Also, to add to the bad, The title screen is not in 3D.

I haven't had a chance to watch part 3 yet. Watched part 1 the other week though and it was indeed great. Hoping part 3 is better than you say it is Jeff. I'll report back once I've taken a look.
