Summary: The adventures of pint-sized secret agents Juni and Carmen Cortes (Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega) continue. As Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over opens, Juni has left the spy agency and launched a career as a private detective--but when he learns that his sister Carmen has disappeared into a nefarious multi-user computer game, he agrees to go in after her, with the assistance of his grandfather (Ricardo Montalban). Three-dimensional special effects launch us into a topsy-turvy world of battling robots, souped-up motorcycle races, frogs on pogo sticks, surfing on hot lava, and much, much more. The story is even more incoherent than an actual computer game--but the movie storms along, driven by writer/director/editor/everything-else Robert Rodriguez's sheer visual enthusiasm. Featuring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, and everyone else who appeared in the first two Spy Kids movies. --Bret Fetzer

Is there a way to still watch this in 3d?

Do not think so.

This does not show up in the guide as HD -- which is strange because I thought it was filmed in HD?

Has anyone seen it yet to verify whether it is true HD or an upconvert?

According to Starz-HD site it is an upconvert.

That seems strange. I thought it was filmed with HD cameras -- or at least filmed in digital. Wouldn't that make for an easier HD print? Plus Robert Rodriguez is a big HD fan so it seems odd that his film is not getting the full HD treatment.

It is a matter of licensing agreement. I do not believe Starz-HD has a license to show this one in HD.

That sucks. Thanks for the info though.
