Amazing Avatar

A few days ago I saw Avatar in 3D. Wow. The technical and artistic use of 3D in this film is phenomenal. And the result is the most comfortable 3D movie viewing experience I've ever had.

My girlfriend and I saw it in 3D and thought it was awesome, but we both thought the 3D glasses made it seems a little bit too dark - we're going back to see the 2D version to see if there's a difference (apart from the 3D of course).

My girlfirend and I saw it this weekend in 3D, it blew me away! I have some 3D movies at home with a pair of cheap 3D glasses, but man, I was stunned! There was a trailer for Alice in wonderland and at a certain point the cat really got out of the screen like it was a meter away from our faces!

That and the fact that the movie had a really cool storyline! I want to see it again!

Hiya, Saw this in 3D a few days ago, stunning stunning film. in the past i have found most 3D films use it as a party trick from time to time, or in a shock and awe kind of way, however with avatar it was much more subtle. I also feel that the scene running through the forest were incredibly well done, i could see the whole row moving their head as if they were avodiing branches amazing!

Well worth seeing, has made me feel that 3D is enough of a reason to go to the cinema again!

Hi Keith

I too saw Avatar and was incredibly impressed and awestruck at the animations. I really wanted to be there and have my own avatar body and run through the trees. Very engaging film. Nearly as engaging as Moreton Island was!! Cya for now.
