My favourite 3D movies are - Life of Pi (hands down best 3D i've seen in a movie) - Avatar (purely because of how good the movie looks) - Edge of Tomorrow - Dredd 3D and - Pacific Rim. the 3D in all of the movies just helps you get more involved in the movie and adds to the experience.
I am not really into 3D movies but I think this list should have been separated into 2 parts, one for live action movies & the second for animated movies.
I'm not surprised at #1, because the 3D was INSANE. You felt like you were really in Macalania (look, any Final Fantasy X fan would know that entire design was based off Macalania...and FFXII's sky city of Bhujerba). TRON: Legacy needed to be higher, because GODDAMN. That 3D, met with the storyline was gorgeous and, yes. I cried when I thought a certain program was derezzed.
The upside down floating mountains, home to dragon type creatures came from Pratchett... Pandora and several of the creatures straight from Alan Dean Foster and Piers Anthoney. The story from Fern Gully. Nothing at all original about the film...however...As a enterprise in 3D...it was pretty much perfect. Just a shame that the original creators of the idea/storyline/worlds didn't get paid for their intellectual properties.
Top 10 Best 3d movies (in no particular order) 1. Avatar 2. Gravity 3. Hugo 4. Life of Pi 5. How to train your dragon 1 & 2 6. Up 7. The hobbit movies 8. The adventures of tintin 9. Prometheus 10. Transformers dark of the moon (I know the movie wasn't great but it was still some of the best use of 3d I've seen)
There is only one 3D (and Imax) movie that I was willing to pay extra money for and that is GRAVITY. It was just...goosebumps. When the intro comes and just GRAVITY is standing on the screen along with that louder getting sound, then...silence and you only see Earth from space...just overwhelming. No cut 15 minutes long...wow I want to see Gravity the 1st time again.
Surely Pacific Rim could've at least made the honourable mentions? It's one of the best 3D experiences i've ever had... I'd say Godzilla 2014 was better at selling the size of the monsters with its use of 3D but there is less of those moments than in PR. Either way, it should've hot a mention in my opinion.
Ashton Stevens Maybe it wasn't your fast paced action film, but thats not what it was trying to be. Godzilla too, was trying to separate itself from the generic blockbuster, and make something spectacular and meaningful. Maybe its not for you, but its a powerful film to me.
If people would just understand that just because it has scientific inaccuracies its not a bad movie. I found the writing to be amazing, as well as the casting. And the visuals were fucking beautiful.
Had I watched thr movie either on mute or all soundtrack. I would have loved it. The visuals were beautiful, yes, the acting was above average. But the writing was barely worthy. I couldn't find sympathy for Bullock's character, I had more emotional connections to secondary characters than her. It was too slow for me, I didnt expect ARMAGEDDON type action, but it was disconnected and had no flow, except for the first few scenes.
How to train your dragon is my #1. The flying scenes were sooo amazing in 3D and it's still my favorite animated movie of all time. Can't wait to see the sequel! c:
Of my friends has seen it (not in 3D) but he said it was better than the first... Then he spoilt the entire plotline for me but it sounds like a great sequel!
I actually cried last year when I saw Jurassic Park for the first time at the AMC theatre near Times Square. I swear I was gonna faint when she turned on the flashlight. I'm 22 lol
When I saw avatar I was so amazed, I had never seen anything like it. Visually it was like a dream and I thought nothing could ever top it. But then Gravity came along and everything changed. gravity should've been number 1
so what dark knight movie would be on the list, because while they were realistic and would have been well made movies but I expect Batman to have a comic book feel to him not some weird guy with throat cancer who is a Ninja. Seriously those Batman movies were way overrated because they focused way to much of Batman as a fighter and didn't really throw in the detective aspects of Batman as well.
I don't understand why people hate Avatar's story. Its not brilliant or very orginal, but its not bad. Its just a decent sci-fi adventure story with stunning visuals.
I think Hugo is one of the best films ever made in 3D AND uses 3D to best effect. I like some of these, but this list ignores films such as House of Wax and Creature from the Black Lagoon. If you catch these in their original, polarized 3D (the red/blue prints are inferior and came later) you'll be amazed at how crisp they look. Hard to believe that they were made more than 60 years ago.
Bullshit. Avatar? I don't know about the jungle, but I'm pretty sure the writer of the film was a lush. Let's see here: Star Trek, The Matrix, Disney's Pocahontas, and Return of the Jedi all rolled into one movie? Sounds like Genius to me.(Sarcasm) And as far as 3D goes, I thought HTTYD was much better.
At least it had pieces of those movies. Let's look at Gravity - 3D and ... what else was there ... wait, smth else had to be there ... hmm. That's it, only 3D, nothing else.
I have to respectably disagree. Seeing the movie in IMAX 3-D made me feel like I was in space with the characters. If you look at 3-D in a way where it's only good if stuff pops out at you (which is the worst way to use 3-D), then yes, it'll be boring to you, but the movie utilized it a way where it immersed me in the movie. To each their own I suppose.
its about 3d not how good the movie is. up, the avengers and Jurassic park would have been up for first place. gravity is a boring movie but the 3d for it was amazing.
***** I get that completely. The 3D in it is great and it probably deserves its number 1 spot on this list. But I feel too much is made of a film visually these days rather than the story told (on the whole, not just with Avatar).
If looking for STRONG 3D in movies, this list needs major revisions, as there are too many mild 3D effects throughout most of these films including Tron Legacy, Up, Toy Story 3, Tin Tin, Coraline, etc. Who picked this list? Probably based on the movie and not the 3D. Hugo and Avatar have stronger 3D, so good picks there.
Yep, the critics preised the screenplay. It was good. Not the best but good and the reason why Is that it is able to Catching the atention of the audience (clearly not all the audience) with a LOT of color dialogue. The color dialogué is used on film writting to refer a conversación which does not direct anywhere in the movie, just a conversation you can have with a friend. Most of the writters who try adding this to their script failure Tarantino is one of the ones who can effect this perfectly and Cuarón showed he can do it as well in a full lenght pictures. A pro of this is that Quentin expressed admiration to Alfonso once. So yes Gravity has a great screenplay but it could be boring for some people.
Probably you have to be a truly *professional* movie critic to see a plot there. It is hidden so deep and is so refined that mere mortals cannot comprehend it.
You don't need to be a professional critic to see the deep emotional symbolism represented in Gravity. The visuals are astounding, and the story of survival in space is magnificent.
I know what the obvious choice for #1 is but Honestly I found #5 on this list a waaaay cooler 3D experience ESPECIALLY in D-Box when the chairs move along with the action ^_^
Top 10 Movies that should be in 3D: 10. Gladiator 9. Iron Man 8. Alien 7. Spider-Man 2 6. Inception 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark 4. The Dark Knight 3. 300 2. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Icy Ball Considering what a crappy job they did of post-converting Star Wars I, I'd take any Star Wars movie off the list. Absolutely must add Rango, though.
I'm really glad How to Train Your Dragon is on here... HTTYD is the only 3D movie where I actually got the physical sensation of being on a rollercoaster during that scene with Hiccup learning to fly. It's still one of the most incredible 3D experiences I've had in a movie.
OK, first of all so many overrated films like "The Avengers" which is not impressive 3D. "How to to train you Dragon" has far best 3D than "Avatar", it should be higher. And where is Pacifc Rim, incredible and visually stunning 3D.
Maybe it was just me, but I would've completely forgotten I was watching Pacific Rim in 3D if I didn't have the glasses on my face. The conversion fared very poorly. How To Train Your Dragon should've been higher, agreed.
how can Tron be in the "Top 10 Trailers Better Than the Movie" list, and also in this list recommended as a "with treats for the ears and for the eyes (1:36)" and "worth the extra cost of the ticket (1:43) "???
Nicotine46 Agree with you 100%, and drop about half of the list in the video, there is much better 3D movies out, The Hobbit for one. Caroline was one of my favorite 3D movies, proubly #1 or #2. For some of the best effects Piranha 3D was good. Also 9 was a fantastic movie and I wish it had a 3D version, I'd buy it for sure if it ever does. I'd also like to pick up the 3D version of Our Gang (The Little Rascals), I used to watch these when I was young, I liked them more than the other shows at that time for kids (80s). Bindy MoFo'n Bains out!
+Nicotine46 I disagree. 1) They did several mistakes, 2) they didn't optimise 3D -it was too subtle and not engaging, with a few exceptions. Unless you watched it too close to a big screen.
I didn't know How to Train Your Dragon was in 3D, but I just saw the second movie last night in 3D, and OH MY GOD was it amazing! The 3D was great, as was the storyline, which had a couple really shocking twists. Definitely lived up to it's prequel!
I know that How To Train Your Dragon is already on this list, but I think that both the animation and 3d in How To Train Your Dragon 2 was breathtaking. I also think that Jurassic Park 3d should've been on the list. That transition from 2d to 3d was utterly flawless.

Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" needs to have been on this list. It is one of the originals where a true auteur used 3D to its potential while remaining stylistically true to themselves. I would knock off one of the Pixar films or "How to Train Your Dragon". I was betting this movie was going to be over looked. In addition there are no longer any prints of this movie in its 3D version.
For me also Avatar is numer 1, but in second place still is Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. In 3D it was... from another planet. Just brilliant. So yes, i guess I would love to see that one in a top.
Isn't it cheating that you put a 3-D remake on in the honorable mention? Oh well. I'm glad How to Train Your Dragon made the list, and I just went and saw its sequel yesterday.
Neither of them are underrated in the slightest. Hugo undeservedly won five oscars including best picture. Explain to me what your definition of "underrated" is.
Can someone please explain why the story in Avatar is bad? It's a story we've seen time and time again, sure (I.E. Last of the Mohicans and Pocahontas) but whereas the story in those movies is considered good or even great, it's Avatar that's getting the "the story is shit" treatment. Once again proving that if you are really succesful, haters are inevitable.
Its not that its a strictly bad story, its that for a movie that wanted to push the envelope with the visual effects so far, it played it way too safe in the story. There was no innovation and the dialogue and writing was pretty aweful.
Watch the animated series and compare the 2. For example, whereas Sokka is comedy-relief in a way in the animated series, his character In the movie is actually serious and totally different from it's counterpart
RidingOff I'd already seen a bunch of 3D movies before Avatar so the 3D wow factor was decreased. I've played video games for 20 years and watch a lot of Japanese cartoons so everything that was first time for so many people was mundane.
Shiraishi Masaki depending on your definition all 3D movies are 4D being that the 4th is time. Generally the 4th d in cinema refers to physical element. rubble in the seats, fans and water.
I know you have a limit to what can be considered "Top 10", but, I am simply amazed that Avatar was not on this list, considering that Avatar was not only a great movie, even though it leans too much on sending a "save the damn trees" message, it was amazing in 3D, and it was, what I believe to be, THE movie that created the "every movie now MUST have 3D" thought that Hollywood has in their heads to this day, from that movies release moving forward. Also, even though not shot in 3D, I think Predator and Jurassic Park should be in this top 10 list, as they look really damn good in 3D, post production. In fact, Predator comes across better in 3D than MOST movies that were shot in 3D look, and it just goes to show that if you work hard at making an older 2D film, transfer into the 3D realm, you can have amazing results!
It's a crime Dredd wasn't even mentioned on this list. The use of 3D in that film is one of the very few I've seen that truly benefitted it in every way. Also combined with the slow motion and cinematography, Dredd is just a visually stunning movie. It makes my top 3 easily.
For #1. It would be The Amazing Spider Man. Because, unlike Avatar, The Amazing Spider Man used a 3D movie camera. Meaning that it didn't use any conversion. (Outside of Legend 3D.) But it worked very well. How many of you agree that The Amazing Spider Man should be #1?
This is the first WatchMojo video I almost completely agree with. I do, however, think that "Legend of the Guardians" should be on here, or at least in the honorable mentions. That movie had the most stunning 3D i've ever seen. Also, that's the owl movie, not the holiday one.
One thing must be said about Avatar, it's one of the movies which did 3D right. I mean, most of movies just shove shit in your face, objects flying directly towards the viewer cause "it's cool and shit". They completely ruin the perspectives, like in Gravity for instance. Human eye sees volume and three dimensions only to some distance, after which the view merges just into plain two dimensions. Meaning far backgrounds and objects thousands kilometers away, like planets, shouldn't look like tenis balls floating in space (cause it presents them as much smaller then they actually are and shits over credibility of the scene for sake of couple cheep thrills...) and Cameron knows that. Avatar adds the third dimension to otherwise realistic perspective and that's great visual work, it's not obnoxious, it's elegant.
While Life of Pi enjoyed numerous success, its backstory is a sad one. The Visual Effects Company went bankrupt just 11 days after it won an award for best movie visual effects. Ang Lee and the studios were all to blame. But this usually happens in all movies that has visual effects. The Vfx company always suffers and they blame that a movie always has too many CGI!! Pah!!
And here comes "Another Top 10 Best 3D Movies" 1. Transformers: Age of Extinction 2. Exodus: Gods and Kings 3. Guardians of the Galaxy 4. Oz The Great and Powerful 5. Mad Max: Fury Road 6. How To Train Your Dragon 2 7. Wreck-It Raplh 8. X-Men: Days of Future Past 9. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 10. Men in Black 3
Great list! Reminds me I have to get "Up" in 3D. True 3D movies are an amazing experience like no other. Well done! "Titanic" and "Sanctum" were also well done in 3D. Although it gets a lot of hate I loved "John Carter" in 3D and "Big Hero Six" was amazing in 3D.
well movies like avengers need the cgi, but movies like horror's films and somes action's films need the props. imagine django cgi, or evil dead cgi.... agh
I think so. I've witnessed a 4D film and getting water squirted at you while being thrown around is super distracting and not something that suits good films, it's more of a gimmicky type thing.
Up doesn't just tug at your heart strings, it pulls on them until they're about to break. It's the best pixar film of all time besides Toy Story. It is a cinematic achievement.
This is not the list of good movies overall, but a list of movies which had best 3D effects. Comment before analyzing things, or it's "pointless" to use internet.
A movie with shitty cinematography isn't going to have a recognizably good story. So no the list isn't pointless. I'm certainly not saying graphics are everything, but camerawork and/or special effects (either by computer, animation, or props/make-up) are vital to any movie's success.
you also got to remember it is a movie the visuals are kinda of a requirement because if they didn't matter then i would just continue to read a book rather than watch movies. Not to say that the story can be bad but most movies just need a decent premise if they are going to focus all/most there time on the visuals.
The best, most of the Imax docs. 3D feels like a natural choice, especially for the deep sea ones, in which things can flow in any direction. It makes the experience immersive. Nobody seeds those, ironically, when they're some of the only ones that don't feel gimmicky.
Avatar was my first 3D movie experience as well as first movie I watched in a movie theater. I wasn't a fan of going into cinemas but I was amazed with the 3D effects of Avatar.
History, 3D and everything in Gravity were amazing, just an ignorant could call a good movie like that a terrible film....but hey this is YOU TUBE the home of the idiots who think can turn good movies into pieces of trash just by commenting shit without sense...right??
I really don't get why so many people complain that Gravity's story wasn't good. It's just a story about an individual surviving in a hostile environment, going through various stages of despair and determination along the way. The only thing that type of story is supposed to do is put you, the viewer, in that person's place and make you feel the struggle they're going through, and that's what Gravity did, largely using its visuals to do so (since movies are, y'know, a visual medium and all). If I wanted a story with complex drama or an intricate plotline, I wouldn't watch a survival movie. I know everyone's got their own opinion and you're obviously free to dislike the movie if you want, but this particular complaint seems weak to me. Now if you want to talk about a movie with stunning visuals and a garbage story, talk about Avatar. But yeah, Gravity's not a scifi movie, that's for sure.
They weren't looking at how good the movie was, they were looking at how the visuals were. So it could've been the lowest rated movie of all time, but has stunning visuals, and it would've made it to this list. They did say Masterpiece which did just cause a contraversy, but yeah.
Can't wait to see what James Cameron does with the Avatar sequels. The fact that he's taking so much time to get started with them gives me hope that the movies will be good since they obviously won't be rushed. Not to mention, the futuristic universe and the world of Pandora are cool enough to explore beyond the colonialism-heavily inspired story of the first film.
I want to add Resident Evil Afterlife and RE extinction because Paul Anderson used the same cameras James Cameron used with avatar for those movies. Say what you want about those films, but one cannot denied how beautiful they both were.... Especially in 3D
My favourite 3D movies are
- Life of Pi (hands down best 3D i've seen in a movie)
- Avatar (purely because of how good the movie looks)
- Edge of Tomorrow
- Dredd 3D
and
- Pacific Rim.
the 3D in all of the movies just helps you get more involved in the movie and adds to the experience.
Not gonna lie your list is better than the video
When you say Dredd, are you talking about Judge Dredd, if so which movie, because I never heard of there even being a 3D version.
@@mrg466 the Dredd (2012) with Karl Urban, if you've never watched that in 3D it's great!
@@recover2077 Oh.. I never heard of it, I thought maybe you meant Judge Dredd! Ok thanks.
@@mrg466 It is a Judge Dredd movie, but not the Sylvester Stallone one from 1995. Check out the 2012 one its a great movie.
Fucking Avatar, hated the fucking movie but the visuals were amazing.
How can you hate Avatar?
***** I was not a fan of the whole story, and I just thought it was too long and it got boring pretty quick.
If you go watch it again without the 3D visuals you'll see how terrible it actually is.
it was the worst movie i have ever seen
Oh thank God I thought I was the only person who didn't like Avatar
I am not really into 3D movies but I think this list should have been separated into 2 parts, one for live action movies & the second for animated movies.
I agree
I agree cuz Coraline definitely deserved a spot
XxMudvaynegirlxX coraline was sooo good, with and without 3d
Philip Alvarez and u
I have a 3D TV and LOVE it. I have about 122 3D movies. My favorites: Tron Legacy, Mad Max Fury Road, Upside Down, and Titanic.
I have one too but can't get the movies?
Enjoy while it lasts. You can't get 3D tv,s anyone!
seeing avatar in imax 3d was the most amazing movie experience ever.
Now watch Avatar 2
I'm not surprised at #1, because the 3D was INSANE. You felt like you were really in Macalania (look, any Final Fantasy X fan would know that entire design was based off Macalania...and FFXII's sky city of Bhujerba).
TRON: Legacy needed to be higher, because GODDAMN. That 3D, met with the storyline was gorgeous and, yes. I cried when I thought a certain program was derezzed.
Macalania?? XD
Avatar actually drawn inspiration from other sources.
But I do agree that both Macalania and Bhujerba were cool locations )
AVATAR looks like Macalania in FFX. And that was the first time a forest looked like that (in FFX).
The upside down floating mountains, home to dragon type creatures came from Pratchett... Pandora and several of the creatures straight from Alan Dean Foster and Piers Anthoney. The story from Fern Gully. Nothing at all original about the film...however...As a enterprise in 3D...it was pretty much perfect. Just a shame that the original creators of the idea/storyline/worlds didn't get paid for their intellectual properties.
Top 10 Best 3d movies (in no particular order)

6. Up
7. The hobbit movies
8. The adventures of tintin
9. Prometheus
10. Transformers dark of the moon (I know the movie wasn't great but it was still some of the best use of 3d I've seen)
I saw Gravity in IMAX 3D
best decision of my life
Oh my god, hey Blaze :D
i saw avatar in 2d!
worst decision in my life :(
Here here
Probably not the BEST decision. You might decide to become a miner and find a hundred tonnes of diamond.
Same here!!!! Also our theater had recliner chairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is only one 3D (and Imax) movie that I was willing to pay extra money for and that is GRAVITY.
It was just...goosebumps.
When the intro comes and just GRAVITY is standing on the screen along with that louder getting sound, then...silence and you only see Earth from space...just overwhelming.
No cut 15 minutes long...wow
I want to see Gravity the 1st time again.
seeing "up," "Avatar" and "gravity" in 3D are seriously some of the coolest movie going experiences i've been through!
Surely Pacific Rim could've at least made the honourable mentions? It's one of the best 3D experiences i've ever had... I'd say Godzilla 2014 was better at selling the size of the monsters with its use of 3D but there is less of those moments than in PR. Either way, it should've hot a mention in my opinion.
Haven't seen it in 3D but I can imagine it should look pretty cool.
Godzilla was a little draggy though.
You are absolutely right about Pacific Rim. It should have been on the list.
Dread Naught I saw no crossdressing in Godzilla...
Pacific rim is a terrible movie, sorry but the acting and story is really dull.
Gravity was by far one of the best 3D films ever, it actually felt 3D instead of being sluggishly done after.
Ashton Stevens Maybe it wasn't your fast paced action film, but thats not what it was trying to be. Godzilla too, was trying to separate itself from the generic blockbuster, and make something spectacular and meaningful. Maybe its not for you, but its a powerful film to me.
No it just sucked. Poor character development and inaccuracies all over the place.
Tayler McKay Disagreed. I thought it was absolutely perfect.
If people would just understand that just because it has scientific inaccuracies its not a bad movie. I found the writing to be amazing, as well as the casting. And the visuals were fucking beautiful.

it also had some of the most unique dragons ive ever seen
Of my friends has seen it (not in 3D) but he said it was better than the first... Then he spoilt the entire plotline for me but it sounds like a great sequel!
I completely avoided the trailer because of that. didn't exactly stop him xD. Still going to watch it though when I get the time
I actually cried last year when I saw Jurassic Park for the first time at the AMC theatre near Times Square. I swear I was gonna faint when she turned on the flashlight. I'm 22 lol
Thats the magic of the cinema 👍
When I saw avatar I was so amazed, I had never seen anything like it. Visually it was like a dream and I thought nothing could ever top it. But then Gravity came along and everything changed. gravity should've been number 1
The theme to Tron Legacy gives me the goose bumps!
Yep, music matched that computer world perfectly.
Isn't the theme "Nothing is Perfect"?
How about doing "Top 10 overrated movies of all time" ?
Here are the candidates for top 3 - Gravity and Frozen.
no
Let's not forget Avatar
wNadee
This is arguable, this one I will leave to WM to decide )
It's overrated as shit, the visuals are amazing, its really beautiful but the story is cliche and meeh
so what dark knight movie would be on the list, because while they were realistic and would have been well made movies but I expect Batman to have a comic book feel to him not some weird guy with throat cancer who is a Ninja. Seriously those Batman movies were way overrated because they focused way to much of Batman as a fighter and didn't really throw in the detective aspects of Batman as well.
Dredd 3D deserved at least an honourable mention.

oscar g I never saw the Smurfs movie and I don't plan to. (Even as a Kid I thought they were gay.)
holly shit that is basicaly the script, lmao, still good to me though
Gravity was absolutely horrible, i could not be more disappointed.
Why is it 2nd place?
It's best 3-D movies you moron. The 3-D in that movie is amongst the best.
It was very well made yes, but it was used in a boring way, who cares for the 3D if it's just used cause it makes more money -.-
I have to respectably disagree. Seeing the movie in IMAX 3-D made me feel like I was in space with the characters. If you look at 3-D in a way where it's only good if stuff pops out at you (which is the worst way to use 3-D), then yes, it'll be boring to you, but the movie utilized it a way where it immersed me in the movie. To each their own I suppose.
its about 3d not how good the movie is. up, the avengers and Jurassic park would have been up for first place. gravity is a boring movie but the 3d for it was amazing.
Avatar is just a boring story of grown up Smurfs...
Films should be more about just visuals, but the stories they tell.
Title is "Best 3D Movies", not "Great Movies"
***** exactly!
***** I get that completely. The 3D in it is great and it probably deserves its number 1 spot on this list. But I feel too much is made of a film visually these days rather than the story told (on the whole, not just with Avatar).

Not the best but good and the reason why Is that it is able to Catching the atention of the audience (clearly not all the audience) with a LOT of color dialogue. The color dialogué is used on film writting to refer a conversación which does not direct anywhere in the movie, just a conversation you can have with a friend. Most of the writters who try adding this to their script failure Tarantino is one of the ones who can effect this perfectly and Cuarón showed he can do it as well in a full lenght pictures. A pro of this is that Quentin expressed admiration to Alfonso once.
So yes Gravity has a great screenplay but it could be boring for some people.
Probably you have to be a truly *professional* movie critic to see a plot there. It is hidden so deep and is so refined that mere mortals cannot comprehend it.
You don't need to be a professional critic to see the deep emotional symbolism represented in Gravity. The visuals are astounding, and the story of survival in space is magnificent.
Miguel Reyna In terms of themes, absolutely. But I'm speaking from a dialogue standpoint.
I know what the obvious choice for #1 is but Honestly I found #5 on this list a waaaay cooler 3D experience ESPECIALLY in D-Box when the chairs move along with the action ^_^
Oh hi Jax.
I love Avatar.
Avatar managed to create *truly* believable and beautiful alien world. And for that alone it deserves recognition.
SolarWindsRider Yup. And they are creating Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Loved it's cinematography, probly the best. Story was meh, though, very predictable.
Did u hate the movie avatar the last airbender or the show because the show fucking awesome
I liked the show but never saw the movie, the last air bender. I saw the beginning and didn't like how zuko looked however
Top 10 Movies that should be in 3D:
10. Gladiator
9. Iron Man
8. Alien
7. Spider-Man 2
6. Inception
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. The Dark Knight
3. 300
2. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
I pretty much agree with all of them except for Alien. I don't need to feel more fucking claustrophobic from 3D than I already do in 2D.
Icy Ball Considering what a crappy job they did of post-converting Star Wars I, I'd take any Star Wars movie off the list. Absolutely must add Rango, though.
Icy Ball The Matrix trilogy.
viddork Not as much as any converted 3D out there makking billions I still miss the opportunity to watch Attack of the Clones in 3D
Icy Ball I'd replace all of yours with Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, and Avatar. It's obvious bro
I'm really glad How to Train Your Dragon is on here... HTTYD is the only 3D movie where I actually got the physical sensation of being on a rollercoaster during that scene with Hiccup learning to fly. It's still one of the most incredible 3D experiences I've had in a movie.
OK, first of all so many overrated films like "The Avengers" which is not impressive 3D.
"How to to train you Dragon" has far best 3D than "Avatar", it should be higher.
And where is Pacifc Rim, incredible and visually stunning 3D.
Maybe it was just me, but I would've completely forgotten I was watching Pacific Rim in 3D if I didn't have the glasses on my face. The conversion fared very poorly.
How To Train Your Dragon should've been higher, agreed.
a better title would have been: top 10 uses of 3D in a movie
agreed.
how can Tron be in the "Top 10 Trailers Better Than the Movie" list, and also in this list recommended as a "with treats for the ears and for the eyes (1:36)" and "worth the extra cost of the ticket (1:43) "???
Wait a minute, I saw Into Darkness in 3-D, it was a great movie but there weren't alot of 3-D scenes
Glad to see Jurassic Park on the honorable mentions. When I watched it, it gave me goosebumps. I definitely felt like certain scenes I was a part of.
It was great in 2d and was great when it got the 3d re-release 20 years later. Jurassic Park aged well
Prometheus should've been in the list. It's one of the most beautiful 3D I've seen !
Nicotine46 Agree with you 100%, and drop about half of the list in the video, there is much better 3D movies out, The Hobbit for one. Caroline was one of my favorite 3D movies, proubly #1 or #2. For some of the best effects Piranha 3D was good. Also 9 was a fantastic movie and I wish it had a 3D version, I'd buy it for sure if it ever does. I'd also like to pick up the 3D version of Our Gang (The Little Rascals), I used to watch these when I was young, I liked them more than the other shows at that time for kids (80s).
Bindy MoFo'n Bains out!
+Nicotine46 I disagree. 1) They did several mistakes, 2) they didn't optimise 3D -it was too subtle and not engaging, with a few exceptions. Unless you watched it too close to a big screen.
The best thing about Tron Legacy is Olivia Wilde =))
Gravity by far is the best 3D I've ever seen. Seeing that in IMAX 3D alone was mind blowing.
I felt the same for Jurassic Park and Man of Steel in IMAX 3D both amazing 3D visuals.
@@KingNoah231 YES, I was surprised by the quality of Jurassic Park 3D after 20 years, it was better than avatar
I didn't know How to Train Your Dragon was in 3D, but I just saw the second movie last night in 3D, and OH MY GOD was it amazing! The 3D was great, as was the storyline, which had a couple really shocking twists. Definitely lived up to it's prequel!
I know that How To Train Your Dragon is already on this list, but I think that both the animation and 3d in How To Train Your Dragon 2 was breathtaking.
I also think that Jurassic Park 3d should've been on the list. That transition from 2d to 3d was utterly flawless.

Life of Pi is a divine masterpiece.
Uhh no Dredd?
Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" needs to have been on this list. It is one of the originals where a true auteur used 3D to its potential while remaining stylistically true to themselves. I would knock off one of the Pixar films or "How to Train Your Dragon". I was betting this movie was going to be over looked. In addition there are no longer any prints of this movie in its 3D version.
For me also Avatar is numer 1, but in second place still is Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. In 3D it was... from another planet. Just brilliant. So yes, i guess I would love to see that one in a top.
Isn't it cheating that you put a 3-D remake on in the honorable mention? Oh well. I'm glad How to Train Your Dragon made the list, and I just went and saw its sequel yesterday.
How was it?
may I ask?how was the how to train your dragon 2 in 3d?
I didn't see it in 3-D. I just saw it at my local drive-in.
I saw 2 3d remakes mentioned, including the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Jurassic Park.
I don't remember the Nightmare Before Christmas being remade in 3D. It's stop-motion animation
woot Hugo and tintin are on here. They are underrated movies!
Neither of them are underrated in the slightest. Hugo undeservedly won five oscars including best picture. Explain to me what your definition of "underrated" is.
Sean what the hell are you talking about?! Hugo didn't win best picture and it most definitely didn't win 5 awards.
i seriously want the matrix reproduced in 3D like OMG !!!!
Spinning Demon ‘tis 2020 now
Can someone please explain why the story in Avatar is bad? It's a story we've seen time and time again, sure (I.E. Last of the Mohicans and Pocahontas) but whereas the story in those movies is considered good or even great, it's Avatar that's getting the "the story is shit" treatment. Once again proving that if you are really succesful, haters are inevitable.
Its not that its a strictly bad story, its that for a movie that wanted to push the envelope with the visual effects so far, it played it way too safe in the story. There was no innovation and the dialogue and writing was pretty aweful.
Ferngully
Darren Leslie yeah...he took enough risk with the budget...
Watch the animated series and compare the 2.
For example, whereas Sokka is comedy-relief in a way in the animated series, his character In the movie is actually serious and totally different from it's counterpart
Oh sorry, wrong Avatar movie, xD
THE AVATAR is the most great super vision in 3D ....... i just cant stop watching it
Hugo is one of my favorite films altogether
Coreline is the reason where I purchased a 3D TV.
Saw That movie sometime ago and really enjoyed it
I think I liked Avata the best
RidingOff I'd already seen a bunch of 3D movies before Avatar so the 3D wow factor was decreased. I've played video games for 20 years and watch a lot of Japanese cartoons so everything that was first time for so many people was mundane.
its not actualy seeing in the 4th demension because thats impossible 4D is just a cool name
Shiraishi Masaki depending on your definition all 3D movies are 4D being that the 4th is time. Generally the 4th d in cinema refers to physical element. rubble in the seats, fans and water.
Life of Pi made me cry
I know you have a limit to what can be considered "Top 10", but, I am simply amazed that Avatar was not on this list, considering that Avatar was not only a great movie, even though it leans too much on sending a "save the damn trees" message, it was amazing in 3D, and it was, what I believe to be, THE movie that created the "every movie now MUST have 3D" thought that Hollywood has in their heads to this day, from that movies release moving forward.
Also, even though not shot in 3D, I think Predator and Jurassic Park should be in this top 10 list, as they look really damn good in 3D, post production. In fact, Predator comes across better in 3D than MOST movies that were shot in 3D look, and it just goes to show that if you work hard at making an older 2D film, transfer into the 3D realm, you can have amazing results!
Erm...did you watch because they made Avatar number 1 on this list?????!!!!!!
lol, somehow, I missed it :D lol shit do I feel stupid! woops!
It's a crime Dredd wasn't even mentioned on this list. The use of 3D in that film is one of the very few I've seen that truly benefitted it in every way. Also combined with the slow motion and cinematography, Dredd is just a visually stunning movie. It makes my top 3 easily.
For #1. It would be The Amazing Spider Man. Because, unlike Avatar, The Amazing Spider Man used a 3D movie camera. Meaning that it didn't use any conversion. (Outside of Legend 3D.) But it worked very well. How many of you agree that The Amazing Spider Man should be #1?
You Totally Snubbed "The Polar Express" :'(
polar express wasnt like, "3D", it was a 3d cartoon, but no "3D" as in wearing glasses
It was released in Imax 3D and it was beyond awesome! ZEON XVII
luigi3duran they said no imax
luigi3duran they said no imax
Luke Costello no Imax? Why is Tron on there?
I think The Hobbit should've been on the list.
This is the first WatchMojo video I almost completely agree with. I do, however, think that "Legend of the Guardians" should be on here, or at least in the honorable mentions. That movie had the most stunning 3D i've ever seen. Also, that's the owl movie, not the holiday one.
I'm glad Into Darkness got a mention. I saw it twice in 3D and it was truly epic.
Suscribe? Nice one.
Tron: Legacy should have been in the top 3.
I'll never understand why people cried at toy story 3.
Its symbolizes the end of your childhood, having to let go of your childhood belongings and become an adult.
They have souls.
Because people have empathy and sympathy.
Children, their siblings and their parents have grown up with Toy Story. Imagine having that series end in an extremely saddening or sad way.
because people are human being... and you??
One thing must be said about Avatar, it's one of the movies which did 3D right. I mean, most of movies just shove shit in your face, objects flying directly towards the viewer cause "it's cool and shit". They completely ruin the perspectives, like in Gravity for instance. Human eye sees volume and three dimensions only to some distance, after which the view merges just into plain two dimensions. Meaning far backgrounds and objects thousands kilometers away, like planets, shouldn't look like tenis balls floating in space (cause it presents them as much smaller then they actually are and shits over credibility of the scene for sake of couple cheep thrills...) and Cameron knows that. Avatar adds the third dimension to otherwise realistic perspective and that's great visual work, it's not obnoxious, it's elegant.
Final Destination 5 was amazing in 3D. It used awesome pop ups and gave great depth to the scenes.
I love those small really bad puns that watch mojo throws in every once in a while ex: The conversion worked marvelously 2:30
Sandra Bullock in 3D... yes, please!
Please, no ...
Gravity > Avatar.
Gravity < Avatar
KubaMDJ whitch one, Gravity or Avatar
KubaMDJ oh I'm sorry I misread
KubaMDJ I know right it's no where near as realistic as avatar .... your fucking dumb
KubaMDJ then use a normal comment not join in a comparing conversation
While Life of Pi enjoyed numerous success, its backstory is a sad one. The Visual Effects Company went bankrupt just 11 days after it won an award for best movie visual effects. Ang Lee and the studios were all to blame. But this usually happens in all movies that has visual effects. The Vfx company always suffers and they blame that a movie always has too many CGI!! Pah!!
Tron legacy, Coraline, Paranorman, Kubo and the two strings, Avatar, Transformers 3 and Gravity are some of the best 3D movies Ive seen
Hundreds of comments stating that Avatar was a shitty 3D movie......the internet never ceases to amaze
I loved Tron legacy!
What about The Hobbit films?
I was just thinking of that same question.
I hated watching it in 3D, especially at 48fps.
The 3D had no effect
Except with Smoug ing The Desolation of Smoug
1st Hobbit movie had very distinctive 3D. In 2nd it was mostly Smaug and Beorn's bees :)
9 should be a tie with The Avengers and Avengers: Age if Ultron!!
This is a year old video you know?
Stephen Aderanti so what? I dont care
K
K
Jay Flow The 3D of it was meh to me, I always thought it was converted
Good list. Living here in Korea, I was able to watch Avatar in 4D. It was awesome
And here comes "Another Top 10 Best 3D Movies"
1. Transformers: Age of Extinction
2. Exodus: Gods and Kings
3. Guardians of the Galaxy
4. Oz The Great and Powerful
5. Mad Max: Fury Road
6. How To Train Your Dragon 2
7. Wreck-It Raplh
8. X-Men: Days of Future Past
9. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
10. Men in Black 3
WHERE'S PACIFIC RIM!?
Pacific Rim! And Avatar on #1... oh boy
no tangled?
exactly!!!!
Yep the Lantern scene is incredible in 3D
Great list! Reminds me I have to get "Up" in 3D. True 3D movies are an amazing experience like no other. Well done! "Titanic" and "Sanctum" were also well done in 3D. Although it gets a lot of hate I loved "John Carter" in 3D and "Big Hero Six" was amazing in 3D.
Picked up a 70” 3D TV the other week. Had to checkout some recommendations
movies need more props fuck cgi
It's 2014, props ain't used anymore. Just think how many money would Michael Bay spent on Transformer if he uses props.
DarkSpore Entertainment Without CGI tranformers would just be puppets xD
First of all fuck Michael bay and fuck his transformer movies I would still hate them if he used props over cgi
Dismonka Moorse Good job no one cares. I don't really care about transformers by the way.
well movies like avengers need the cgi, but movies like horror's films and somes action's films need the props. imagine django cgi, or evil dead cgi.... agh
I saw toy story 3 in 3D and it wasn't that good.
what is 4d? you mean those moving chairs and spraying water and stuff?
yeah and if someone in the movie jizzes, you know what happens
I think so. I've witnessed a 4D film and getting water squirted at you while being thrown around is super distracting and not something that suits good films, it's more of a gimmicky type thing.
My 4d experience was a little pad you scratch to smell dirty diapers in the movie.
I saw a 4d movie at disney world. I remember getting sprayed by water and having wind blown at me.
kartoonix
what movie was that? lemme guess, Spy Kids 4? that movie sucked and it wasnt even REAL 4D
Doctor Strange , Hansel and Gretel, Passengers, ready player one, RIPD, The Martian, Valerian are very good 3D movies as well
Up doesn't just tug at your heart strings, it pulls on them until they're about to break. It's the best pixar film of all time besides Toy Story. It is a cinematic achievement.
and yet you put Life of Pi on a list for worst use of CGI? Make up your mind Mojo, please. :)
+10GGundam Uh, they never did that.
Avatar is so overrated
it was the first true 3D film so I don't see why it wouldn't be overrated
Abdul Rahman Al Raeisi It's overrated because it's completely unoriginal, Cameron stole the plot from other films, he even admitted it.
william parcell exactly
+william parcell As well as part of the title of the movie
blehe38 I don't really think that's relevant to this, no one really has a copyright to words
Movies are good because of the story and execution, not because of fancy graphics and 3D bull sheet. This list is pointless.
This is not the list of good movies overall, but a list of movies which had best 3D effects. Comment before analyzing things, or it's "pointless" to use internet.
A movie with shitty cinematography isn't going to have a recognizably good story. So no the list isn't pointless.
I'm certainly not saying graphics are everything, but camerawork and/or special effects (either by computer, animation, or props/make-up) are vital to any movie's success.
well they have movies like that for you....
you also got to remember it is a movie the visuals are kinda of a requirement because if they didn't matter then i would just continue to read a book rather than watch movies. Not to say that the story can be bad but most movies just need a decent premise if they are going to focus all/most there time on the visuals.
A movie has to balance story, direction, character, acting, graphics etc. If you want just good story then read a book.
The best, most of the Imax docs. 3D feels like a natural choice, especially for the deep sea ones, in which things can flow in any direction. It makes the experience immersive. Nobody seeds those, ironically, when they're some of the only ones that don't feel gimmicky.
Avatar was my first 3D movie experience as well as first movie I watched in a movie theater. I wasn't a fan of going into cinemas but I was amazed with the 3D effects of Avatar.
I thought gravity was a terrible film
History, 3D and everything in Gravity were amazing, just an ignorant could call a good movie like that a terrible film....but hey this is YOU TUBE the home of the idiots who think can turn good movies into pieces of trash just by commenting shit without sense...right??
***** the movie won the oscars for technical things. Take away the 3D and the movie is average at best.
Loved that movie. Felt very real.
9:50 Sci-fi Fucking Masterpiece? Gravity was a turd painted in pretty colours.
It had stunning visuals, but the story was such garbage.
Terrible ending
Also, it wasn't scifi
I really don't get why so many people complain that Gravity's story wasn't good. It's just a story about an individual surviving in a hostile environment, going through various stages of despair and determination along the way. The only thing that type of story is supposed to do is put you, the viewer, in that person's place and make you feel the struggle they're going through, and that's what Gravity did, largely using its visuals to do so (since movies are, y'know, a visual medium and all). If I wanted a story with complex drama or an intricate plotline, I wouldn't watch a survival movie.
I know everyone's got their own opinion and you're obviously free to dislike the movie if you want, but this particular complaint seems weak to me. Now if you want to talk about a movie with stunning visuals and a garbage story, talk about Avatar.
But yeah, Gravity's not a scifi movie, that's for sure.
Truth
They weren't looking at how good the movie was, they were looking at how the visuals were. So it could've been the lowest rated movie of all time, but has stunning visuals, and it would've made it to this list. They did say Masterpiece which did just cause a contraversy, but yeah.
Toy Story 3 Make me Cry Every Time
Its still overrated, How To Train Your Dragon was the best animated movie of 2010.
Balnazzardi How To Train Your Dragon? seriously? This movie was so boring.
Balnazzardi nope
@@Balnazzardi httd anyday
I'm glad for the honourable mention, but I think Coraline is well up there.
Can't wait to see what James Cameron does with the Avatar sequels. The fact that he's taking so much time to get started with them gives me hope that the movies will be good since they obviously won't be rushed. Not to mention, the futuristic universe and the world of Pandora are cool enough to explore beyond the colonialism-heavily inspired story of the first film.
The 3-D for Avatar 2 is a disappointment. 😒
So I’m here from the future… oh boy…
I love Avatar movie
Am I the only one who doesn't like Hugo?
It was a horrible movie.
You're not alone, I didn't like it either.
Guys, the book was soooooooooooooo much better. Like, you have no idea how much.
Hannah Pidwerbeski Not as many plot holes?
HairyViking111 and a lot more creative. I just think the book is a better experiance
gravity number 2 ???? what da hell ??? it was just crap....
I want to add Resident Evil Afterlife and RE extinction because Paul Anderson used the same cameras James Cameron used with avatar for those movies. Say what you want about those films, but one cannot denied how beautiful they both were.... Especially in 3D
Prometheus is one of the most beautiful 3d movies I've seen! It was not when I saw at theater, but on a 3D TV, I could`t believe how awesome it was.
