HISTORY in 3D Blu-Ray Review



Synopsis: This unprecedented gift set collects three of HISTORY's most acclaimed specials in immersive 3D.

WWII IN 3D:
WWII in 3D creates a fully immersive portrait of history's largest and bloodiest conflict. From the rise of the Nazis and their sweep across Europe to the Allied counterattack and the fall of Nazi Germany, dramatic moments were captured in 3D and then shuttered away in secret archives. Compiled here for the first time, are 3D color photos from Allied reconnaissance, images documenting the rise and fall of the Third Reich, photos secretly taken by a civilian in occupied France and more. (FEATURES: English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Polish and Mandarin subtitles)

TITANIC 100 YEARS IN 3D:
In 2010, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and RMS Titanic, Inc. undertook an unprecedented expedition to document the entire wreck site and capture it all with high-resolution optical video, sonar, acoustic imaging, and 3D-HD video. Titanic: 100 Years in 3D pairs this stunning imagery with powerful untold stories of passengers and crew. (FEATURES: Dutch, German, Polish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, and English Subtitles)

HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS IN 3D:
From the formation of the earth and the emergence of life, to the advance of man and the growth of civilization, the CGI-driven History of the World in Two Hours in 3D offers viewers a rapid-fire view of 14 billion years of history. (FEATURES: English, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish Subtitles)

Review: This great new boxed set from History Channel collects three great specials on 3D blu-ray (see above).   We highly recommend this boxed set as a wonderful Xmas gift!

WWII IN 3D Review: There have been countless documentaries about World World 2 on both DVD and Blu-Ray, but this one is unique, in that it is in blu-ray 3D!  The entire film isn't 3D, of course, but rather portions of it.  The documentary really goes into how the Nazis were at the forefront of photography and filmmaking in their day with a few other general facts and scenes that we've seen before.  Seeing the marches at Nuremberg in 3D was absolutely intimidating and is the closest most of us can get to ever seeing them in real life.  This one is a great watch.

TITANIC 100 YEARS IN 3D Review: We're enthralled with the legend of the Titanic here at the Legion, as are many history buffs.  The History Channel has finally hooked us up with our first 3D look inside the wreckage of the RMS Titanic!  This is where our 3D TV and Blu-Ray player purchases really come in handy!  I've seen a lot of 3D films, but most fall short.  This one...oh my god.  The 3D is amazing!  There is zero ghosting and the 3D technology is used generously.  We get a lot of up-close shots in 3D that bring out the beauty of the ship.  There aren't many wide angle 3D shots, unfortunately, but I was pleased with what I saw.  The familiar story is pieced together by interviews and narrations and really ties together this fantastic 3D Blu-Ray for the viewer.  We recommend this for anyone that is into the Titanic.  Remember, this is a 3D Blu-Ray, but it will also play in 2D format in standard blu-ray players, so you can invest in this one, even if you don't own the 3D technology yet.

HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS IN 3D Review: The History Channel is renound for their quality documentary and educational programming. The History of the World in Two Hours is quite an undertaking! And its just like it sounds..they literally slam through millions of years of history in a few hours, lightly touching on most subjects and breezing by others. If you're looking for something in-depth, this one isn't for you, however, if you're looking for something well produced, fun and informative..check this one out! Its a blast.  This new release puts this great special onto a high-definition, 3D format!  This one is idea for those that have access to the technology.  The 3D is absolutely fantastic.  The select CGI effects come right out at you and really enchance the whole experience.  This makes the special even better for kids!

Interest Range: Documentary
