Comin' At Ya!

Entire movie 3-D great idea, but bad copy, doesn't work well.......2007-05-01

I just watched the show "Medium" Season 2 Disk 3 episode "Still life" that had the red/blue 3-D scenes that were awesome. I also used to own the 60s b&w movie on vhs "The mask" which was freaky, but also great red/blue 3-d scenes.
This one didn't work well. The red/blue was way too far from the real image so it just looks like double/triple vision. The depth works a little, but still a strain on the eyes to find the real image. The first 15 min seemed cute, but corny, like an old 60s western. The bats attacking the hostage women were so fake you could see the wires. The acting could be much better.
I couldn't watch more, the reason why I got it was the 3-D & it didn't work well. Try the titles above

Comin' at Ya.......2005-09-27

i just recieved coming at ya when isaw it in 1981 it was in polaroid wide screen i had thought it was in anaglyphic polaroid was i wrong side by side right left anamorphic squeezes zoomed out no grain notice full the only problem is that since it was letter box combine with red green or blue anaglyphic processed that cant cover enough of both images the throwing at ya to the camera images were ineffective would of been slightly more effective if it was on high def screen or large square screen the close ups medium shots and some distance shots were good 3d but story was fair and the title and gimick was distracting to the story unlike kiss me kate it isnt flat compatible the time it was released it offerd glasses red right blue left my plastic glasses better than paper were blue green right red left so i end up turning my glasses up side down so that red came to the right why not polaroid anaglyphics its not impossible one of my early horror mags had a polaroid anaglyphic scene with grey glasses and it worked

A fun spaghetti western that does not pretend to be great........2004-11-18

First off let me state that I am reviewing "Comin' at Ya" from the perspective of someone who has seen it in the theatre. With regard to the DVD, I do own a copy and can agree with many reviewers that color films do not give a good 3-D effect when viewed in an anaglyph presentation. The main problem of the presentation is the color. Since the objective of the 3-D presentation is to completely seperate the images that the left and right eyes view respectively, you can see that red/blue glasses (also red/cyan) cannot accomplish this. Since each eye is seeing parts of both images you end up with double images. This is simply because the red and blue block each other but cannot block out some of the colors in both images effectively giving each eye two images to view. Irregardless of this, those of us who are fans of 3-D and 3-D movies are just happy to have a copy of the movie and will muddle our way through a viewing for what effect we can get. The year was 1981 when "Comin' at Ya" was released to the theatre. I was in high school at the time and like others my age who saw the commercials for "Comin' at Ya" was wondering what this was. It was a Friday afternoon when I had finished work at the mall. I happened to check out the theatre and that movie "Comin' at Ya' was playing. Since the commercials (a good ad campaign) had me curious, I decided to see it. That day I had one of the most fun experiences if not the most fun I had ever had in a theatre. The audience was filled with both types of 3-D viewers, the screamers and the cheerers. The guy behind me was shouting "don't do it", I on the other hand was shouting "do it" (this was in the opening scene when Tony Anthony was pointing a shotgun at the audience). "Comin' at Ya" made no pretense as to what it was; it was a 3-D movie that was simply going to throw everything at you and use a simple plot so you would not miss anything while you were busy ducking. This was an entertaining, interactive thrill ride that lasted 90 minutes and left you wanting more. Dan Symmes in Cinefantastique magazine referred to "Comin' at Ya" as bad 3-D (due to vertical and horizontal convergence) and since viewers like myself had not seen good 3-D we were apparently too ignorant to know the difference. Well smack me in the face with a brick, I along with the rest of the audience were too stupid to know that we really weren't enjoying ourselves. My thoughts toward his remarks involve the words egotistical and jealous. Tony Anthony wanted to make a 3-D movie. Not only in 3-D but entertaining as well. "Comin' at Ya' was an experimental film that took a basic western plot of the bad guy steals good guys bride, so good guy tracks down bad guy and applies several forms of justice (western justice...he..he). They made a fun movie that was soley responsible for revamping the interest in 3-D movies only to have it put down by those who tried to copy what they did and most of them failed miserably and destroyed any interest in 3-D movies. "Comin' at Ya' succeeded in the task of simply being a movie that was a lot of fun for an audience and did not pretend to be anything else-Bob

Bon Produit 3D.......2004-06-06

Ce film est important surtout pour la 3D, qui est retranscrite sur petit écran de manière plutôt correcte. Bien que la qualité des lunettes bleu et rouge laissent franchement à désirer.( la qualité des filtres est trés mauvaise...)
MAIS, si vous avez les lunettes d'un autre fournisseur le spectacle est plus que FUN, aprés avoir effectué certains réglages sur votre écrans télé ou PC. Uniquement en V.O mais il n'y a pas vraiment de dialogues alors vous pouvez acheter ce DVD pour passer 91 bonnes Minutes.

Worst Movie I Tried to See.......2004-03-19

Yes, this is the worst movie I ever saw. The only problem is that I didn't see it. Well, I did see it but it was blue and red all over. I could say I saw it twice. What I am trying to say is: THIS 3-D DVD DON'T WORK! The 3-D process on this DVD does not work. It's a real mess. The images don't line up at all, no matter what I tried. I did listen to the story but it is just plain bad. I saw Tony Anthony in A STRANGER IN TOWN which was a good western. He can't save this one. Too bad. I was really looking forward to SEEING it.
