I can't speak to how well the effects were as I watched the 2-D version under the title THE GHOST OF LORD FARQUAAD but I can say that neither version had any good laughs. It seems every single scene is just built up so something could go flying through the air towards the camera or a punch is thrown towards the camera. I understand the original version was in 3-D but the effects were obviously the main focus and there's no real evidence that the filmmakers were trying to tell any sort of good story.
SHREK 4D UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RIDE MOVIE
From what I read after viewing this thing, it appears this was added as a bonus on the re-release of the first movie and it seems not too many were happy with the marketing process but the film itself is what really should have bothered them. Shrek 4-D (2003) ** (out of 4) Very weak short has the ghost of Lord Farquaad stealing Fiona so Shrek, Donkey and various other characters must try to rescue her. It's definitely worth 13 minutes of your time, but unless you're a completist I don't think there's any need to run out and buy the DVD. I ended up watching the 2D version on the same disc because you can get a better appreciation for the colors & animation. No real story, but there's a lot of nonstop, fun action, a few funny lines, and the waterfall scene at the end is pretty impressive. The story is about Princess Fiona getting kidnapped while Shrek & Donkey chase after her. Perhaps it's just the difference between theater projection and home viewing, but unless you've got a theater in your house you'll probably be seeing it the way I did. I don't know much about 3D technology, but I know that some recent films like "Beauty & the Beast 3D" (2012) are a more enjoyable because the 3D glasses don't tint the colors so much. I can't say I was dazzled by the 3D (and I was watching on a pretty good 60" screen) mainly because the cardboard red & blue 3D glasses, included, are sorta annoying on the eyes and nose. Clocking in at 13 minutes with no other features on the DVD except previews, this would've been better as a bonus feature on the Shrek movie DVD. You're probably wondering if it's worth renting or picking up on DVD. But that's probably not why you're reading reviews on IMDb some 10-15 years later. When "Shrek 4-D" premiered at Universal Studios in 2003, I'm sure it was nothing short of amazing.
