Saw this AGAIN yesterday at 11am with Kamryn and Hunter. Kamryn said, after we saw it "There are no words to describe how phenomenal this movie is". I have to say, that after my 2nd time watching it...it was JUST as enjoyable as the first. That IMAX 3D is simply "The future".
We saw New Moon (again)(and ran into Cinemax who was there with his son seeing Avatar 3D) after that and then attempted to see Sherlock Holmes. I don't know if it's just me getting older or what, but the accents they use during the first 20 minutes of the movie were ones that I just couldn't understand. I liked the fight scenes and the way they showed his planning of them...and then the execution...but after 20 minutes of not really hearing the dialouge, I checked with both kids to see if they were in a similar boat. They were, so we left that movie.
We then saw Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. In spite of the bad reviews, it worked with our timing of leaving Sherlock Holmes. It was actually quite enjoyable. Then...due to Kami's begging, we went and saw Avatar again, this time just 3D, not the IMAX. The picture quality is the same, I must say...but the sound, athough satisfying and good, wasn't anywhere close to the IMAX experience...where you actually FEEL the explosions...I have now resigned myself to buying Avatar on Blu Ray...IF it comes with 3D glasses.
