Open Season ( Special Edition, Widescreen)

Fun for the whole family

Funny and my kids love it.

My ratings are based mainly on the QUALITY OF THE 3D, not the video content. There are about 60 out of screen effects that extend about 10% of the way, from the screen to the viewer and another 19 around 25%. At 55:40 minutes raindrops fall up to 50% and around 71:30 a flying stick of dynamite made a lot of my friends duck. My last observation specific to this disk is hard to put into words but here goes; The 3D is done in such a way that it is hard to define "in the screen" and "out of the screen" effects. They usually flow between the two seamlessly making the surface of the screen (mentally) disappear. Ya know what I mean? *** Funny with an enjoyable story line - Excellent graphics add to the 3D *** MY 3D RATING = EXCELLENT (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent) Note: As far as the percentages go, everyone's eyes are different. What I see at 25% you may see at 15% or 35%. To fully realize how far something is out of the screen for you, pause on an effect and direct a partner with an extended finger to the tip of what you are seeing. You may be surprised.

Worked perfect!

Great show. Kids love it.

Good movie. We have watched several times!

It took a while to get past the eye-popping saturated color and mind-blowing detail of this Blu-ray disc (its that captivating) to even pay too much attention to the story. On a 70" JVC 1920 RPTV hooked up via HDMI from the new Sony sub $500 player the picture is simply superb and often stunnning. Color and detail are almost overwhelming and 3D. Definitely a good choice for showing your system off to friends. THE STORY: True, it isn't a new formula at work here, which should be no real surprise from the mainstream media outlets these days, but it is highly entertaining. While it wouldn't win any Academy Awards for best screenplay, the story is engagingly told and voice talent keeps it fun. If you want zany and over the top buy some Jerry Lewis movies! This movie should appeal to all age groups. THE SOUND: I'm sure my receiver is showing its age at not be able to fully decode the new formats. It will usually default to THX, which is not the best compromise. Maybe I'll update this review after I can fully evaluate the sound, but I'm sure I'm not alone in this respect. EXTRAS: I don't really spend time with these, unless its a Klingon Diction Seminar (jk) Buy it! Most folks will be glad they did.

Not sure why this is coming now this was from a long time ago rented for my grandchildren. I do not remember buying the movie. I just rented it to watch with the kids.
