Title: Don't buy this for the 3-D
Product review: I'm someone who has seen the movie in theatres, and has read the book. As a film, "Coraline" is great, different in tone from the book but equally valid and entertaining. The experience of watching it in 3-D at home, however, was not as enjoyable. It was markedly different from the 3-D I saw in theatres. Even after following the prescribed optimal viewing procedures (keeping the room dark, setting picture mode to "standard," letting my eyes get adjusted) I found the 3-D to be terribly desaturated in color, fuzzy, and not terribly effective. In the movie house, the 3-D was seamlessly integrated into the film and added texture. At home, it became distracting and fuzzy, and didn't do justice to the photography. By all means buy this movie, but I'd recommend seeing it in 2-D.
