Last weekend I bought a Coraline DVD. I read the book and liked it, and thought that I would be able to watch the movie version as well but wasn't able to. So the DVD was the next option. It was also out of curiosity for the DVD version that I bought this.
The DVD comes with 4 glasses. This one's the red and green type, not the hi-tech 3D glasses which is currently the rage in both home and cinema viewing. The intro stated our eyes will adjust in 5 minutes' time, and that we had to increase the brightness of our TV.
There were moments where the 3D illusion worked quite well, but for most of the time it didn't look 3D at all. My son enjoyed the novelty of it all nonetheless, although there were many instances where we saw him covering his eyes. Perhaps the 3D effect was more real to him than it was to us!
Good thing the DVD had a 2D version as well so it's still good value. The movie itself is, of course, an excellent adaptation of the book.
I remember the 3D TV demo we saw at a department store one time. It was really amazing. It wouldn't compare with this traditional 3D effect but it's a good addition to my DVD collection nonetheless.
