Without question, 3-D technology has come a long way since the days of red and green cardboard glasses, and The Ultimate 3-D Collection is ample proof. Included in the set are three roughly 30-minute animated features (Alien Adventure, Encounter in the Third Dimension, and Haunted Castle) and the H3D "i-glasses" hardware you need to enjoy them: a small processing box to insert between your DVD player and your TV, two sets of viewing goggles, and all the cabling you need to put it together. By and large, the sense of real depth conveyed by each feature is astoundingly convincing, especially during the many point-of-view fantasy sequences; crags and dinosaur limbs seem to jut halfway between the screen and your viewing position. Be warned, though, that the discs' image and color resolutions vary from poor (Alien Adventure) to mediocre (Encounter in the Third Dimension) to quite good (Haunted Castle). Encounter, originally produced to showcase "large-format" 3-D (i.e., a towering IMAX screen), features fun snippets of old films and even a few stereographic still photos. None of these fills the screen or lasts very long, however, and the process reverts to standard 2-D imaging in pause mode. While more live-action footage would have been great, Haunted Castle is a real treat. The only disc with an actual story line (a rock & roll reworking of the Faust tale, with credible music to boot), Haunted Castle creates the most convincing sense of depth through real-life elements like trees and torches. The sound on all discs is excellent, enhancing the sense of depth with seamless DTS surround mixes that work well even in headphones. This is an impressive set, and with 3-D technology this good, there's a strong chance the included goggles and processor will see more 3-D action going forward. --Michael Mikesell

3D Ultimate Collection November 19, 2008
I received this collection a few days ago and have to say I am really pleased with the 3D, especially on "Haunted Castle".
Personally, I couldn't get the shutter glasses to work via my PC and projector and what I saw on a normal TV wasn't great 3D and flickered a lot, enough to distract my enjoyment. So, after a bit of Google-ing, I discovered that there was software around called "Stereoscopic Player". I downloaded the demo and with a bit of fiddling found that I could view these movies in the old anaglyph method using this software. So for those people who can't get the shutter glasses to work try this system. It really works.
I opened "Haunted Castle" in "Stereoscopic Player" and set it the following way.."View Steroscopic"....."optimized Anaglyph red/cyan"
and I set the video decoder settings to "weave". I also experimented with the right/left eye settings to see which was best. Let me tell you, the 3D was stunning. Sure the colours are slightly lost using the anaglyph system, but for "Haunted Castle" that doesn't matter. The depth of field is amazing and the objects "do" pop out of the screen, believe me.
So for those having problems with the shutter glasses, try the "Stereoscopic Player" on the above settings and enjoy the amazing 3D world that you'll enter.
I am now officially a 3D addict!!
 A GREAT IMAX COLLECTION! April 3, 2008

Encounter In 3D: Worth watching only once or twice.3D is good and effects include alot of cheap 3D tricks with a wired song from Elvira.
Alien Adventure: Worth watching three or four times.3D is good and not to many effects.The whole movie has no plot what so ever and its hard to understand.
Haunted Castle: Worth watching a lot of times.3D is out of this world and thier are alot of great cheesy 3D EFFECTS to have the whole family wowing in joy. Not suitable for children under the age of 11 but still a great mild horror film.
depth: 7/10 3D (OFF SCREEN) in between 9 and 10.
 3-D DOES NOT POP OFF THE SCREEN...100% GUARANTEED April 6, 2007

If your buying this hoping that the 3-D will pop off your screen...You WILL BE DISSAPPOINTED...As I was...I read some reviews saying that it does and some that it doesn't...Believe, me...IT DOESN'T...And that was the main reason I purchased it...But one thing it does do: The 3-D is within the screen...There is just depth...You will notice objects in front of each other...AND THATS IT.....It's slightly better than the Red/Blue glasses, except for the fact that the picture is clearer, but alot darker than what your actually seeing on screen without the glasses on...The content of the DVD's are SO uninteresting...The only thing that kept me watching was the anticipation of the 3-D possibly "popping out" of the screen...And once you realize this isn't going to happen, it's all downhill from there...The sound is EXCELLENT if you have a 5.1 or DTS surround system......The flicker from the glasses is really annoying at first, and takes a bit to get used to...Make sure to turn the lights off...This system HIGHLY recommends using a TV with a refresh rate of 100hz or better....90% of TV's have a refresh rate of 60hz, like mine and yours(Check the label on the back of your TV and look for either 60hz or 100hz, every TV shows this info..) They don't tell you this in the product description or in the 1 page instruction manual...Had to do a little research for that one...So the higher the resfesh rate, the less flicker....
All in all...
If your buying this for the 3-D to "Pop Out" off the screen like in the IMAX theaters or amusement parks....DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
If your buying this already knowing that you will see ONLY depth within the screen with an annoying flicker, then maybe give it a shot....But don't say I didn' warn you....
**Also, if your expecting to recieve your system in the Nice Black Box shown above...That's not going to happen either...It comes in a plain white box with a shipping label on it...**
depth, but not 3d March 22, 2006

i bought this today (razor 3d the ultimate 3d experience) and have tried 3 dvds with it, used all the different settings, and so far it offers more depth perception, but is definitely not jump-off-the-screen 3d. i was using a regular tv.. 32" crt sanyo, and again i could tell a difference in depth but it is confined to the square boundary of your television.. it is absolutely not come-out-of-the-screen at all. plus it kinda hurts my eyes. i was disappointed

The 3-D set it comes with. So you can watch other types of DVD's like these.
The movies that came with these must have been the worst ever. Bad acting seems to come to mind. Plus are all generic. But there is a plus in all this.
The 3-D! Really good. Compared to the crappy Spy Kids 3-D red and blue glasses! The effects come right off the screen. Let me put the DVD's in order from best, to worst.
1) Haunted Castle: 3-D EFFECTS ARE AMAZING. The story makes no sense from time to time and is really boring without the 3-D. Music is also good.
2) Encounters of The Third Dimension: This DVD had some good 3-D effects. The train scene comes to mind. Wow. But again get's boring. It has a stupid scientist who has some weird fantasy with Elvira. A floating robot who seems to be the only good thing in this. And Elvira pops into the story every now and then with a catchy song. They all try and teach us the History of 3-D.
3) Alien Adventure: DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. No story. Well there is but I don't think anyone cared for it. It is just Aliens in a theme park going on a bunch of nausiating roller coasters. BORING. 3-D is okay.
Anyway this set was worth it. I can't wait to watch more 3-D things like this.
