Samsung's U.K. show reveals Monsters vs. Aliens 3D Blu-ray due in March plus LoveFilm, iPlayer TV apps

When Avatar will make its Blu-ray 3D debut is still officially up in the air, but thanks to Samsung's European line show, TechRadar says we can expect Monsters vs. Aliens in March (at least in the U.K.) It will initially be available only to purchasers of new Samsung 3D HDTVs (called the U7000, U8000 or U9000 series of LCDs and PDP7000 plasmas over there) or Blu-ray players, an interesting choice that has us wondering when wider 3D releases will hit, or if we'll need to wait for the summer's PS3 firmware update before that happens. Still, that wasn't all Samsung had to say, also mentioning plans to add movie rentals from LoveFilm and access to BBC's iPlayer to its Apps service for U.K. buyers in April.

I've seen near 10 3D movies, and Monsters vs. Aliens was the best -- yes, better than Avatar! The 3D really enhanced the experience, and I was enthralled with the sheer beauty and visual complexity of many scenes. I saw it twice just because of the 3D.

The 2D Blu-ray looks wonderful, but I'd love to own this movie in 3D. I'm glad to hear this news about the Samsung special, making it almost a done deal that a 3D Blu-ray is coming (more money to be made by a mass-market release, and Dreamworks).
