edpaffjr.comOver the weekend, we finally went out and saw Avatar. We tried to see it a couple of other times, but the IMAX 3D screening was always sold out. So earlier last week, I bought tickets for us for the most popular Friday night screening. Once the lights went down, the movie immediately started, without any previews. I wasn’t aware that it was the movie and remarked after a few minutes that it was the longest preview I’d ever seen. Once one of the characters said the word avatar, I realized that we were actually watching the movie.
The visual effects were pretty amazing, right from the start, but got even better when they started showing more of the outside world on the planet Pandora. The creatures and landscape were so lifelike and the 3D images were superb. I don’t think Kim was overly excited to see a sci-fi movie, but the underlying love story really helped her enjoyment. Plus, the 3D has to appeal to nearly everyone. I would definitely encourage anyone to see this movie, but you have to see it in 3D, and preferably at the IMAX.
