Them! 3D Blu Ray 1954

One of the best 50's A-bomb big monster movies. In 2d. So what is the verdict when you take such a classic and make it 3D? A totally different movie. In 2d, frankly, it is a little cheesy. But just watch the first three scenes of the movie in 3D. You have some honest to goodness horror feel here now. That is just not present in the 2d version. It is something about being in the scene which gives it that "you are exposed to what is out there kiling everyone" that is not present in the 2d. And the movie just rolls along in a beautiful pastel of 3D that takes you where the 2d version just couldn't. It was originally planned to be a 3D movie in the first place, but in the 50's money mattered. The 3D scenes are all there, but now you get to see them as intended. This is the kind of psychological horror you just don't see anymore. Now everyone is cut up, chopped up and bled out. I've seen that so much it just has no appeal to me anymore. But when you immerse yourself in a well made sci fi movie it can actually get pretty intense. This is the case here. Same for War of the Worlds, now in JFC 3D, and certainly such classics as The Exorcist, now in JFC 3D. It is such a shame, now that 3D is basically dead to the masses, that the real beauty of 3D is now coming forth. I can only hope everyone who reads this and wonders if it is worth the time to see JFC's work on a 50's sci fi classic, will take the time to do so. For in the end, this is what 3D was supposed to be. At least when you are done, you will be able to say you now know the promise that 3D held, and for us tiny few, holds. 3D was never a gimmick; except for the P.T. Barnum's who tried to sell it to us as that. A promised fulfilled by JFC. The Master.

Well done JFC what a great conversion, I love to see these old classics get the 3D treatment, this was pure joy to watch this in 3D.

This was originally going to be filmed in 3d . so it's great to finally get to see what it could of looked like
