Where's the 3-D?Jan 17, 2008 This is, by all appearances, an original copy. But I cannot get 3-D effects on any computer, TV, or projection screen. It is a 2-sided DVD, with 3-D on one side and regular on the other. But nothing I did helped. I was quite disappointed since I purchased it to show to students and had actually acquired a classroom set of 3-D glasses. They had been looking forward to it. But it was a bust.

SOS PlanetApr 12, 2007 Very good 3-D, mediocre movie. The 3-D works very well, but most is computer-generated instead of real video. It is a great addition to you HQFS 3-D collection.

Great Effects...but is Environmentally FocusedApr 12, 2006 Sure this DVD is about environmental issues (reason for 4 stars), global warming, ect. but the special effects are spectacular! You have anything from a giant octopus popin' out of the screen at you, to monkeys throwing fruit through your tv screen! It is true most of the action is CGI, though there are a few live feeds. Overall, beyond the plot, its a fun 40 mins. Great for the whole family, kids will get a kick out it, gee my Father actually liked it, go figure!
P.S.
Most of the bonus features are in 3d, as well as, trailers for other DVDs like Haunted Castle, Alien Adventure(if you want a sneek peak before buying!)

Not bad....Oct 05, 2005 ....but it's yet another IMAX CGI animated 3D outing (the field-sequential shutter-glasses type of 3D). Walter Cronkite (yep, he's still alive) narrates this excuse to explore computer-generated 3-D eco-systems (ocean, rain forest, etc.). Strictly for those into the "underground" field-sequential 3D cult.
