I have a PS3, hooked up through HDMI, and I getting the Bluray, I have a 32" LCD, and I have 2 bigger TV's in my house, way bigger. 2 questions, will it look good on my LCD, and is it worth it without the 3D?

I saw it in Cinemas without 3D and it seemed fine to me.

I only saw it in 2D and thought it was good but I didn't understand the insane hype/praise it got.

I was wondering the same because I heard it looks pretty killer in 3D and it is now playing at IMAX here i believe. Not sure if I should pick it up on Bluray though. I want to see it more for the visual effects and junk moreso then the Pocahontas story.

Unless you plan on buying a $2500 3D television, there is no reason to wait. A few months ago I had tried watch the last final destination movie. On the bluray there was both the regular 2D version and the 3D version. I tried watch the 3D version with glasses that I stole.....borrowed from an IMAX theater but it did not work. The glasses did not make the picture look 3D. Maybee I needed to use the cheap paper blue & red glasses?? But it definitley did not work with the official Imax glasses.

Plus, I don't care about directory commentaries/interviews so I would not wait for the super hardcore/NERDcore version in the fall.

Honestlty, if a film is NOT good without 3D, that means it is not a good film, period. And yes, the picture on blu ray is stunning enough that you'll feel you're getting your money's worth, in my opinion.

it will probably look awesome. my friend told me he watched it on blu ray and it was awesome, but then again he has a huge projector screen in his room, so probably anything will look great on it. either way, it's probably still only $20 so i'd say go for it.

yeah, it might be that you need the red/blue glasses. i was told that there is a difference between the red/blue and other kinds of 3d glasses, which i'm sure is true. i'd assume that when you buy a movie in 3d, you'd need the red/blue glasses since they are much cheaper. i know a few managers at a movie theater near me, and one of them told me the kind they let you use there (not the red/blue ones) are like $20 each. and the store i work at, when that Michael Jackson "This Is It" movie had just come out on DVD, we were giving away 3d red/blue glasses, so they're probably dirt cheap to make.

Is there going to be a version in 3D? From what I have seen , the picture quality looks great. I would wait for the version that has special features if you enjoy such things(which I do). Though I have no plans to buy this film now or in the future.
