I got it for the 3-D so it was worth the 10 bucks. The movie itself was a pretty mediocre effort with decent production values but bad CG. Only for hardcore Argento fans or those who would enjoy some topless scenes in the glory of 3-D.
I never pass up Best Buy exclusives where they include 4k UHD and 3-D versions. I wish Best Buy gave the same treatment to every 3-D release.
The 4K movie transfer for PRU is very good, though not as superb as those with 4K digital intermediates like Dunkirk or Saving Private Ryan. But, the 3-D version is the best way to experience this spectacle.
When guests watch movies at my house, 3-D is what catches their attention; not the 4K.
I went in with low expectations, but the movie was entertaining, well acted, had good action scenes and an interesting plot premise on the Hercules legend. A pretty good first two-thirds of a movie.
It was superior to 300 Rise of an Empire, Clash of the titans remake, etc...
The 3-D was decent with a couple good pop out moments.
...though I don't know how accurate it is. Read wikipedia and judge for yourself. But, if you want a war movie with a high body count in high def with great sound, this is right up your alley.
I bought it for the kids, but enjoyed it better than they did, since they are too young to understand some of the jokes. Great 3D and worth it for that alone.
A fine movie but the weakest of the reboot trilogy

I liked the emphasis on character development but it didn't have the gravity of the first two movies. To be frank, the bad guys in the first two movies, and the subsequent efforts to overcome them, where better in the Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Still, the actors were in top form and the 3D was excellent.
T2 is one of my all time favorites but the sequels since then have struggled in the James Cameron created world. Take this movie-- it has nice CG, good action and fine post conversion 3D. But the plot, with all the time line issues, is a convoluted mess. At this point, I'm not sure what they can do with the series, but it's fallen into a time travel black hole loop that they'll struggle to recover from in future movies. (Oh, you know there will be more movie$).
