Released on May 19, 2009 by Lionsgate, this Bluāray includes both the 3D version (an anaglyph red/purpleāgreen format with glasses included) and a standard 2D version, each presented in 1080p at a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. š„ļø Video Presentation
3D Version (anaglyph format) delivers impressive depth for a home releaseāeven if RealD theatrical visuals are superior, the at-home 3D is notably effective with numerous popāout effects (axes, pickaxes, objects flying toward the audience) and immersive spatial staging .
Some reports note moderate ghosting, a pinkish tint, and a muted color palette, especially when viewed through the 3D glassesābut most fans find it a worthy trade-off for the dimensional experience .
2D Version is solid HD with fine clarity, minimal black crush, and visible grain. However, in 2D, gore and flesh tones often appear sharper and more detailed than in the tinted 3D version
