Took the plunge the afternoon. One of the advantages of being self employed . I had picked up the tickets yesterday. The IMAX theatre was only 40% full, no kids.
In short the movie was very good, not great; classic plot, good dialogue, good acting (no oscar winning performances though), and GREAT special effects. It took a while for the eyes and brain to catch up to the 3D effects, but eventually maybe half way through you get in sync. The dynamic colourations were amazing. Whatever those animators were on to come up with the flora and fauna, I want some now. Truly mind boggling.
The 3D technology was really good but stats to show flaws in fast action or close-up shots. The panoramic shots were mind blowing.
The technology is still in it's developing stages. possibly mid way, but it has improved in leaps and bounds
I give it an 8/10 and plan to see it in Blu-Ray when it out to see the difference.
Well, you might have a point there, big dark empty room full of strangers, scary place, but I did have company yet she'd be upset if you referred to her as an escort; bodyguard maybe. Remember someone else's comment about fetching a stick?I have yet to watch Avatar. I plan to watch it while it's still in movie theaters.

I still got both pairs and yes you do need them. They didn't ask for them in person, but had a sign and a bin suggesting you recycle.Did they give you 3D glasses on the way into the theatre and if so did you have to give them back at the end or did they let you keep them.
Also, if you don't bother to wear 3D glasses do you still get any 3D effect or is it totally lost without the glasses.
It would make a lot more sense to measure number of tickets sold, not sales. But they would rather have each year be bigger than the last.Incredible indeed.
But no so much when the prices are adjusted for inflation (as all movies should when ranked against others from different years)
This perspective is lost
The higher cost of admission brings in more money obviously
The True Rank of Avatar - Adjusted for Inflation
Avatar - 34, Dark Knight - 27, All the star Wars are ahead of avatar..even Jurassic Park - 17
That may sound logical, only the backers don't care about the number of bums in the seats. They only care about the money. there are plenty of films that won't come anywhere near this kind of numbers, take '7" for example. The dollars is just the most common way to measure success. How do you measure DVD sales and rentals then and they haven't even begun to do that yet. More money to come yet. If you count bums you have to compare the size of the population etc etc etc.It would make a lot more sense to measure number of tickets sold, not sales. But they would rather have each year be bigger than the last.
So James Cameron now "owns" the #1 & 2 top grossing films world wide of all time...Oh, by the way Avatar is now #1 in sales now, just passing Titanic and still climbing.
I think every 12yr old boy since 1977 is pissed he can't have a light saber.......I have not seen it, and do not intend to, not my thing. Of all the hype about it, the part I liked the most was the number of cases of people being depressed, some suicidally so, because they wanted to leave our world, and join the Navvi world. And they were so upset that it was just a movie. Depression in general is not funny, but being depressed because you can't live in a movie is funny.
Hee hee... I know I'm quoting myself... but I FINALLY timed it right and procured tickets for the IMAX 3D Showing of AVATAR... The Cyclettes are excited!So do I... at the IMAX in 3D... IF I COULD EVER BLOODY WELL GET TICKETS!
