This catalogue publishes the disagreement rather than choosing between them. Both are sourced and linked; the reader decides, or nobody does until a third source settles it.

Apple publishes no 3D flag, so this row says the film is sold here, not that the 3D version is.

How the 3D was made

The thinnest part of the record

How a film reached the screen in stereo is the part of this record that matters most, and it is the part that is thinnest. What is missing keeps its row rather than being dropped, so you can see where the record stops.

Provenance
Hybrid Shot in stereo, converted afterwards, or a mix of the two.

Who is credited on the stereo

From TMDB, contributed by its users

These are crew credits from TMDB, where the list is written by contributors. Nobody here has checked one against the film's own titles, and TMDB does not say which of its entries have been checked. They are shown because each carries an address you can check it at; they are not evidence of the same weight as the sourced rows above.

This is not war, it's extinction.

As humanity picks up the pieces after the battle of Chicago, a shadowy group reveals itself in an attempt to control the direction of history…while an ancient, powerful new menace sets Earth in its crosshairs. With help from Cade Yeager, Optimus Prime and the Autobots rise to meet their most fearsome challenge yet.
