Planet of the Apes 3D Blu Ray 1968

It was nice to rewatch this classic in 3D. It's a decent conversion, but nothing that stands out really. Still, would rather watch this version than 2D.

one of my favourite films. wish the 3d was stronger but it was great too see this and the 3d did enhance the film

One of the most successful science fiction films of all time, and an absolute favorite of the genre. But the first Planet of the Apes is simply getting old. Unfortunately, despite various remasters and new film transfers, you can clearly see the years of existence. The charm and atmosphere have of course remained and continue to give the viewer a special cinema feeling. However, it was daring to work on this classic in 3D. It offers only little opportunity to exploit the potential for the third dimension. Nevertheless, it was tried. At least in general it worked out quite well. But the many compromises that the template forced on the process have of course set clear limits to the conversion. It was not possible to implement the full range of modern 3D without risking violating the atmosphere. The result would be a completely unrealistic effect. Therefore, the work was done extremely carefully and the focus was more on beautiful close-ups and their fine details than on enormous depth and width. For some people this may be a little too little. But it is always a balancing act to create a 3D that is worthy of the term itself, but which still maintains the film's own character, only supports it and does not spoil the atmosphere or even make the whole film seem unrealistic. Especially because I ultimately never expected to see this film in 3D, my special thanks for that. In my opinion, a wonderful, round 3D that honors the classic has been created here. My full respect for this nice work.
