The Digital Dread Report for the week of January 29th This great flick certainly deserves to have one. If it sells well on the various home video platforms, which it is so far, we may be lucky enough to get a sequel somewhere down the line, and we'd love that. If you blind buy one DVD/ BD this month, make it this one. Whatever the reason(s) for its BO failure, it all comes down to the fact that it was handled wrong. This is no John Carter or Battleship Dredd 3D is an action lover's/Fanboy's dream. Dredd bombed at the Box Office, and it's a way better film than that. If I was skeptical about this movie sucking as bad as Stallone's original did, then general audiences were even more so. The marketing for this movie sucked, it should have never been released in the crappy-for-movies month of September, and Lionsgate should have played the 3D aspect of things down a bit. Aside from The Raid: Redemption, Dredd is the best action flick we saw in 2012, and oddly enough, the two movies are fairly similar in plot. This is honestly one of the best film experiences that we had in 2012, and I imagine we'll be re-watching this movie plenty in the months to come.ĭredd 3D is one hell of an action flick, and it's now one of our favorite Blu-ray's in our collection. It proves that the film's audience is there, and as word of the movie's quality spreads, I have to imagine that its audience will grow and possibly pave way for a sequel.

It was mindless fun that wasn't dumbed down like most actions flicks tend to be, and yet it didn't take itself too seriously.ĭredd 3D hit #1 in its first week on DVD and BD, selling more than 650,000 copies, and was the top film download in its debut week as well, which is good news for we fans.

and it was all shamelessly and excessively violent. tons of people and things blew up, got shot up, got burnt up, got beat up. It was nice to see that they stuck to canon and didn't have Dredd show his face this time out too.Īs for the action.

This movie played it straight, unlike the 1995 Stallone version, and was a better movie for it. Karl Urban was the perfect Dredd, and Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey were just as good in their roles. It was a great movie that deserved far more love than it got, period. Dredd 3D is a visually stunning, tight, bloody, action-packed flick that bombed at the Box Office, which is a fact that we're still in denial about.
