Amazon Digital Services LLC**Actual Review of 3. D Bluray release**The final chapter of the Harry Potter series is here. The film was well done, relaying the dark tone of the story. I first saw this movie on Bluray in 2. D. After my 3 year son threw one of his toys into my flat- screen TV (lucky for him I was not a witness to his tantrum and destruction of a HDTV I paid nearly $4. This lead to me having a good excuse to buy the latest tech.

Now kitted out with a 7. D compatible HDTV and 3. D Bluray I was able to experience a format that I has dismissed as a fad. I had a few titles already in 3. D and to my great surprise the 3. D effects of Active Shutter 3. D glasses were astounding rivaling the 3.

D features at Disneyland's Kodak Theatre (Captain Eo, and Honey I shrunk the audience.)I got my hands on Harry Potter 7 parts 1 & 2 anticipating breathtaking 3. D effects, boy was I sorely disappointed. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one was so poorly 3.

D encoded that I had to check my glasses to make sure they were charged, checked the TV to make sure it was in 3. D mode. That was how poor the 3.

D effects were. It is no wonder Part 1 was never released in the theater in 3. D. I thought "This must just be a poor quality 2. D to 3. D conversion after the film was completed. Now I figured "They had to have filmed part 2 with 3.

D cameras, they had to." I was wrong, save a few gags (e. Professor Snape's tears are poured into to show Harry Professor Snape's memories and Voldemort's snake striking out) and even those were very poor. Watch Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing Online Free HD. There is nothing to be gained in purchasing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3. D. The quality of the 2.

D transfers from film to Bluray are excellent. Unless you can find the 3. D for the same price, save your money, buy the 2. D set. And those who are taking shots at this movie and giving it 1 star because of it having a Ultraviolet code, enough already. Just the fact that Warner Bros.

Ultraviolet streaming service, yes it's a streaming service not a digital copy, does not warrant 1 star reviews. WB has been issuing i. Tunes codes and in some cases Plays for sure discs when asked. I have gotten i. Tunes codes for every Bluray and DVD that had a redemption code for the UV streaming service. Many people may look to buy a copy of this film, see the sub 3 star rating, and not purchase this excellent film.

Save you 1 star ratings for films like The Wicker Man or Ishtar. Unfortunately UV may be here to stay, be happy that most DVD and Bluray sets include both UV and regular digital copies.
