Did you have your 3-D glasses on?hidefbob wrote: The colours are washed out ... almost B&W at times. You also get a lot of ghosting in parts of many scenes.

3D Glasses
Yes, of course. Blu-ray 3D definitely needs more development work before it even comes close to the usual Blu-ray PQ!

The 3D version was unwatchable on my HD system. The 3D system was the old one they used back in the 50's using red and green filters, which means it was essentially in black and white. I was hoping they'd use the newer polaroid method but I don't think that is possible with a HD system since it requires two images which are orthogonally polarized which would be hard to do with just software.
The movie itself was pretty pedestrian and had a physically impossible premise if anybody cares. It did start a good conversation though. Could the center of a planet be hollow? As you approach the center, gravitational forces would cancel out, so you'd be weightless. We don't have any direct way of determining the exact nature of the core, but recent seismic measurements say it's probably a crystalline form of iron, the source of the Earth's magnetic field. Definitely no dinosaurs

If your color balance is not correct then you will have 'washed out colors'!hidefbob wrote:...The colours are washed out ... almost B&W at times. You also get a lot of ghosting in parts of many scenes. .....
I think one missing feature on the "3D" disc, as a few "3D" DVD's had, was a color blance chart to insure that the colors were balanced on screen correctly for using the 'Blue+Red' glasses.
From what I have read else were if you dd not pick up or find a "3D" version by now chances the version you would purchase would be a "2D" version of the moive?!?

"It IS possible with an HD system. Mitsubishi DLP sets use the newer polaroid system."
If you mean the new 3D DLP Mitsubishi sets, that's a completely new technology and is not polaroid. That technology is based on wearing "active" glasses which are synchronized with the TV electronically. The set continually switches between left and right views and shutters on your glasses open and close so fast that you get full-color 3D.
I was talking about current HD technology which I don't think is capable of producing polarized images. That's why current 3D HD is still based on creating overlapping pictures in different colors which makes producing a color picture and 3D so problematic.
