This is a movie experience that you cannot recreate at home.
The animation is stop motion using models. I can't imagine how tedious it must have been to do this frame by frame. But it is a triumph.
The story is of a girl who has moved with her parents from her familiar home in Michigan to an old house in the rainy woods of Oregon. She is bored, friendless, and unhappy. There is a small door in one of the rooms of the old house. In her dreams, this door leads through a tunnel into an alternate universe. There are alternate versions of the house, her parents, her neighbors and the surrounding gardens- but everything is much nicer in the alternate world. Of course, all is not as it seems.
This has the feel of a classic fairy tale. And although the audience had plenty of kids, there is nothing particularly childish or Disneyfied about the dark worlds portrayed here.
The visuals are spectacular. Some of the sequences, for example, the alternate world garden scene, in sheer visual imagination, rival anything I've ever seen in any movie. The 3D is a big part of this.
But 3D on its own is not enough. Last year I saw Meet the Robinsons in 3D. The 3D was great, the movie was quite forgettable.
Obviously, the bottom line here is see this now, because in a few weeks, the next 3D movie will come out and you will have lost your chance.

I would think that would add to the realism. How many frames per second do these digital projectors produce?
frames per second, I personally did not notice a blur...however I did hear a review on the radio where the reviewer mentioned the sort of discontinuity that is a feature of this type of animation and this reviewer noted that it added to the handmade feeling of the movie. It is definitely a different feel than Pixar style computer animation- of course this guy made the Nightmare Before Christmas so it's comparable to that.
I have two Bluray 3d films and the result is really bad.
It is not really working.
At the recent Superbowl game in the U.S. some commercials were in 3D, and stores gave out the old-fashioned red-blue paper glasses. The effect was interesting for the couple of minutes it lasted, but would have been uncomfortable for longer.
The movie theater 3D is in a whole different league these days. They use polarization rather than colors. They need a new projection system, so not many theaters have it. It works incredibly well. There is a downside, the bright colors are muted due to the 3D glass lenses. So everything comes at a price. But with Coraline, I feel the 3D is far more important to the experience than brighter colors.
Yes yes that is what I thought, it seems the fade of the day, as long we need glasses I think it restrain the market, of course for the youth who did not has the experiences it bears some fun.
Like quad...
It is a severe limitation in my eyes(!) to have that kind of limitation.
The same in my hope I had to push to the brightest..
I like gimmicks but...
The muted slightly grayed colors really worked well in the somber Coraline story..added rather than detracted.
.
my 20-200 vision w/o glasses was fine..but if you have sight in only one ele the 3D effect will be missing..try shutting one eye during the movie with the glasses on and see what happens--its an interesting experiment.

..saw it in 3D and I agree it is extraordinary. This may be the best piece of animation ever made. You have to see it in the 3D version.Its the 2009 Oscar winner for best animation for sure..plus you have a great script with all sorts of twists and turns.
I was amazed..they blew me out of the water on this one
