Avatar - see it in regular or 3D?

Saw 3D IMAX yesterday...DH and DS were both speechless afterwards...hubby said it took him a while to be able to string together words in a coherent pattern.

Yeah, it was that cool. Overwhelming...amazing, gorgeous. DVD is gonna suck after seeing it so big and feeling IN the picture.

We did the IMAX-3D version last night. Yes, yes, yes. Definitely worthwhile. Most definitely.

I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't subjected to ads for 15 minutes before the show began too. That is one of my big beefs with the theatre experience.

2 of the 3 of us wear glasses, the 3D glasses worked just fine over my bifocals and DH's regulars.

SK, my original position was "wait for the dvd" but I take that back now.

Also, re IMAX. We have 2 IMAX now. A regular old school IMAX five stories tall, and the new IMAX screen in the multiplex, which is where this movie is playing. It is a regular multiplex size theater, but the film takes up the whole screen from top to bottom and side to side, which is bigger overall from the widescreen experience. I wasn't clear that we now had 2 IMAX until I saw this movie.

I hope you got to hold hands with your sweetie at the same time.

DH and I discovered this too. We went to the IMAX at the park and were redirected to the multiplex. Made it just in time to the multiplex. No one in town seems to know about this 2nd IMAX. It's been "news" to everyone I've told!

We both were blow away by this movie. The 3D is just amazing. I've been a second time and was totally suck into the story once again. Yes, I'm a total sicence fantasy nerd! bikerHen
