Avatar - see it in regular or 3D?

[Tuckervill]

I get really depressed by any kind of violence. I did not like Sherlock homes at all. My teenagers have to screen movies for me. I'm 48 and an 18 year old has to tell me if a movie is suitable for me.
Another question- will those 3-d glasses fit over my eyewear prescription? I have been wanting to see Avatar.

I have the same problem. The violence in Holmes had the same effect on me, too. It seemed like an entire MMA fight through the whole movie. I liked the plot, but not the gross things always portrayed about Victorian England (dead rats). I did like the way Holmes was portrayed as some kind of eccentric super-genius, except with social skills. I wouldn't see it again, even on DVD, because of the fight scenes. I quite often had to hide my eyes.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Today's NYT has a story about 3D glasses. Saw it in print this a.m. & too tired to link...

We saw it in 3DImax and loved it! Great movie I thought!

I guess I'm in the minority.....it was OK, saw it in Real 3D, and have the headache to prove it. It was a very pretty film, without much of an original story. But then, maybe there aren't any original stories out there anymore?

I think it was meant to be an archetypal story, a common legend/theme sort of thing. Although as a long time sci fi weenie, I think there ARE still original stories out there. This just wasn't intended to be one of them.

It was Pocahontas with better special effects and without all the singing.
