Sure, it will work with anaglyph movies, but they will soon be replaced by the new Blu-ray 3D technology. The new 3D technology is far superior to anaglyph, so I don’t expect to see any new anaglyph releases. Unfortunately, Blu-ray 3D requires that you buy all new home theater gear, which is a show-stopper for most people.

There are some anaglyph movies available.

3D Movies on Blu-ray and DVD – 2008 Releases

3D Movies on Blu-ray and DVD – 2009 Releases

I am looking at purchasing 3d Movies and playing this through a DVD or Bluray play onto a screen via projector. I will also have 3d cya/red glasses…just wonder – will thi sbe effective i.e. work ???

Interesting. That looks similar to the Sony technology that will soon be introduced. However, at $9100 for a 46 inch display, who is going to buy it? The price for the new shutter technology 3D HDTVs is less than a third of that price. 46 inch 3D TVs using shutter technology will be less than $3000. Of course, each pair of shutter glasses will cost $100 to $150, so it will get real expensive if you want to invite 10 of your buddies over for beer and pizza and a 3D sports event.

forget those stoopid expensive shutter glasses…. just use the polorized ones you saved from the cinema !!

cool.

Here’s my take on the subject. Current 3D theatre technology utilises a single DLP projector running a frame rate of 144hz with a polarizing device called a Z-screen which mounts directly in front of the projector lense. The viewer uses polarizing glasses. So it follows this setup would work for home use on DLP rear projection TVs and front projectors running at least 120hz and a polarizing device built-in. If a vendor could build a Z-screen to match whatever size LCD or Plasma TV, that might work as well. Seems the more common option is to use shutter glasses on a TV running at least 120hz. The higher the frame rate, the lower the occurence of headaches caused by flicker.

Personally, I’m looking forward to rock solid 3D at home, though it will probably hasten the demise of the theatre. The only constant is change.

You do not need polarized glasses for Polar Express and they would not work with the DVD versions. If you buy the 3D version of Polar Express, it comes with four magenta-cyan glasses, which is what you need.

Polarized glasses will not work with 3D anaglyph movies.

I have Sony’s VPL-AW15 projector and a 1080P up converting DVD player supplying video output through HDMI to the projector. I have watched Journey.. numerous times with my friends and its looks awesome. The projector costs around $1000 and DVD player $60. With Pioneer 5.1 channel receiver ($180) and JVC SXXSW6000 Home Theater 5.1 speakers ($48), the sound is too good. With this setup, the roller-costar seems you are a part of the team and the bird’s chirping sound actually feels coming from back or front, depending on the scene.
Now I am waiting for the Ice Age 3 (3D) to be available on DVD so that I can try that too.
