For the first time, you will see dramatic moments of WWII that were captured in 3D with stereographs and then shuttered away in secret archives and attics, until now. This stunning collection of color 3D photos includes Allied reconnaissance photos, a trove of images that documents the rise and fall of the Third Reich, and photos secretly taken by a civilian in occupied France. WWII IN 3D also features an actual 3D motion picture film shot by the Nazis in 1943 and creates a fully immersive, three dimensional portrait of history's largest and bloodiest conflict.
BONUS FEATURES:English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Polish and Mandarin subtitles

This review is from: WWII [Blu-Ray 3D] (Blu-ray) I recently bought a 3D rig and have been buying Blu-Ray discs to showcase the technology. I'm also the son of a WWII veteran of the 101st Airborne, 506th Parachute Infantry Division. Growing up with a true GI hero, I have a built-in interest in the history of the era. I pre-ordered "WWII in 3D" for its curiosity value not really knowing what to expect. The description was rather incomplete at the time but it was under $20 so there were no high expectations. When the show started, I was totally surprised that Nazi Germany was again at the forefront of technology and it even extended to photography and motion pictures. At the end of the show, I felt that the producers included only a subset of what they may have had access to which is only conjecture on my part. Some of the 3D images are reused during the storytelling. There is only a short clip of full motion 3D film but it shows the advanced capabilities were used to influence their intended audience in 1939. The still shots...

This review is from: WWII [Blu-Ray 3D] (Blu-ray) This documentary focuses on Hitler's use of 3D during WWII. He began using 3D photos for propaganda purposes. After all, 3D is impressive...well, I think it is. There is also a 3D movie clip which might have been used to train soldiers in the proper use of certain weapons. Later, the Allies began using 3D imagery for aerial reconnaissance. One of the historians in this documentary is impressed with these WWII, 3D photos & the 3D movie stating that the 3D images help him pick out details that he normally would overlook. 3D wasn't entirely new at that time. Stereoscopic technology has been around since 1838. I was impressed with the 97 year old Frenchman who has been taking 3D photos for 80 years. Although, Hitler decreed that photography was unlawful, this Frenchman would take photos whenever he was able. (There is an interesting color photo he took of a US soldier).The majority of the photos are black and white. For the most part, the 3D quality of the movie is fine...

I waited for about a month and then received it. The whole movie is about how 3D was used in the time of World War II, how Hitler would want to use 3D to glorify his army and how the pilots used 3D to get better perception and accuracy with their bombing, not really about the war filmed in 3D. I thought they could remaster the footage in 3D or maybe they can, but this DVD doesn't show that.It does show a lot of pictures taken back then in 3D, but only one short 3D live footage scene where a group of German Soldiers are firing Flack on the Ally airplanes. I guess there is only that one 3D live footage scene left that survived the war, the rest was destroyed.I was hoping to see the story of World War II shown in 3D. Even though this DVD was really interesting to know and had some cool pictures, it wasn't what I was expecting. You might think it is really cool and maybe this is what you are expecting to see. I think it is cool stuff to... Read more |
