SUCH A FANSTASTIC MOVIE!! THE EFFECTS, THE 3D, THE SOUND
ALL TOP NOTCH!! 10 OUT OF 10!!! :o Just a PERFECT movie!!!
One of the few movies that I would immediately pay to go see again. And I can't say that happens often...in fact...possibly never...
Seriously...seeing Avatar on IMAX 3D is simply the way successful movies are going to be in the future. The 3D doesn't really jump out at you...as bad 3D typically does, but it makes you feel as though you are inside the movie the whole time....HOLY COW!!!
I also saw Planet 51 - It was OK....but I wouldn't want to see it again, nor was I more than marginally entertained. But then...I saw Avatar first, and anything would be a letdown after that...
I also saw Disney's A Christmas Carol. Very Good. I was surprised by how dark it got in places. The animation and effects are very cool...but I had to overcome the hatred I had for "The Polar Express" type animation....they really need to fix the crossed eyes look.
-
Given my knowledge of your feelings about paying for movies you see back to back, that is high marks indeed. :o
-
Wow! Yeah, that sounds awesome. So it's definitely a 10+/10 in 3D for Charles, but here's my question... if it weren't in 3D, would the movie still rate that high. Would it at least get a 10/10?
-
I would say...yes!
If you guys wanted to see it, I want to take Kamryn to see it...we could all go together?!?! ;D
-
Chris and I were talking about the possibility of going to see Avatar on Sunday, depending on what the rest are interested in. There is a 7pm showing, so if we did go to that it would cut our gaming a little short. Would you be interested in seeing Avatar again on Sunday, or would you prefer to stay dedicated to gaming through to 9pm?
By the way, I believe "The Unnamable" Chris H. will not be available for the even this weekend. He said that he should be available on the 10th.
-
Kamryn and I and her grandpa have decided that we are going to see Avatar a week from Saturday at approximately 2pm. I would love for you all to join us and play games until 9pm on Sunday.
However, if you'd rather break early and go see Avatar on Sunday...I understand. I've already invited grandpa (before seeing your post) thus I don't want to un-invite him.
But, again....I would LOVE for you and Chris to join us. Perhaps we could make that happen?
-
Well... I guess we'll just have to discuss it more tomorrow. It's too bad it didn't work out for us to all go together.
I can't remember if Mac is coming tomorrow or not. Mac, if you get this message, please let me know what your plans are. I wasn't certain if we were going to ride to Clearwater together or not.
-
It isn't too late, Nathaniel...it's NEXT Saturday (hence the verbiage "a week from Saturday"...
So there is still a chance we can all go together. A week from today.
-
Count me out. I'm going golfing that day, and I'm pretty tuckered out afterwards, usually.
Mac
-
Yeah, you'll have to count me out too... not that I'm going golfing.
-
Ok...the timing has been finalized.
2:45 for Avatar IMAX 3D at the AMC Woodlands 20.
If you are going to join us, let me know and we'll save you a seat!! Chris...you coming? Dave?
We'll of course be seeing a couple movies afterwards, so if that appeals to you, you can stay with us until approximately midnight!!
-
Hey, I just got back last night. I got to see this in Atlanta. Awesome! The theater was full so we had to sit in the back/ I actually went and saw it again after work today so I could sit down front. HOLY CRAP!!!! It was amazing. Sitting in the second row had no adverse effects on the 3D. In fact, when you fill your field of vision with a 3d movie, it becomes hard not to get drawn into it. There were a few times where things were coming at the camera that I felt like stuff was actually passing right next to me. It makes me never want to see a movie in the theater any other way.
And yes, I would be happy to go again. ;D
-
I read an article about it in Popular Science magazine. The director said that he had planned that movie for several years, but didn't want to film it until technology could make it where people felt like they could actually touch things in the movie. Maybe in a couple days when I've fully recovered from this cold or whatever I've got I can get out and see it.
-
I would also be interested in going to see it.
Maybe Dragon and I can plan it out, since everyone else has already seen it at least once.
-
I still have credit to see it at AMC theater, so that would probably be the best place for me to go. Maybe we can meet there Thursday evening.
-
Kami and I failed it see it last Saturday because it was SOLD OUT.
We are planning on seeing it THIS Saturday. Kamryn will look at the times and the times of other movies we will be seeing (Sherlock Holmes, Princess and the Frog) and we'll post the time when final. We'd love for any and or all of you to join us in this AMAZING piece of theater!!
-
I'm probably going to have to go to Tarpon Springs on Thursday already, so I think it would be the best chance for me to go to the movie.
-
I won't be able to go to see the movie until at least Friday after the big game day. I am broke as can be.
My cousin is arriving Thursday and it sounds like she is planning on spending most of her time with me, which is okay by me. I don't have much family and I treasure what I have.
So, count me out until at least Jan. 15 regarding the movie.
I'll bring pizza money to gameday for Wyldwing and myself.
I don't mind if I get to play games with the three ladies when we split up. ;o)

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.
-
In related news I just got the Blu-Ray and the film STILL rocked! I liked seeing it at home because it gave your eyes a chance to see little things you might of missed in huge 3D. IMAX 3D or not its a awesome film.
-
I'm going to hold out for the Box version of Avatar in Blu Ray that comes with 4 pairs of high quality 3D glasses. Then I'll pick it up.
Until then...could I borrow your copy? ;D
-
Does the Blu-Ray version have a 3D option if you already have 3D glasses?
-
The Blu-Ray version doesn't have a 3D option. Is the 3D version thats coming out for the Samsung 3D TV/Player combo?
