Avatar: Take Two

Jan 25, 2010 11:48

On Saturday morning I met my parents for AVATAR in IMax Digital 3D.
You are probably wondering why, and quite simply, it was my Mom's b-day and I felt that I should give the movie a second chance. Going in knowing exactly what to expect.
The plot, writing, science, physics, and such were still godawful, but I practiced a mantra of "let it go let it go let it go, focus on the graphics."
Almost everything that I found wrong with Real 3D (which, as mentioned, felt like I was watching a Magic Eye Painting) was right with IMax Digital 3D.

I was still disappointed that almost all of the CGI creatures lacked the muscle movements that show up in modern video games, but the quality of the 3D was worth seeing.

So, I am changing my recommendation on Avatar. If you can see it in IMAX 3D or IMAX Digital 3D go to see it, just for the visual stimulation. Do not bother seeing it in regular 3D, Real 3D, or anything with lesser quality than IMAX 3D.
