Vertigo1 Hotshot Registered: 02/09/01 Posts: 9600 Loc: VT, USA	Originally Posted By: EAF331 MadDog The movie gets three thumbs up from me. Easily the best CGI (human actors are real) I've seen. This was also the first 3D movie I've seen in like 20 years. Things have changed yes. 3d is getting big again with new circular polarization technology and digital projection. All of Pixar film's will now be in 3D. The first 3d film of this kind which I saw was "Journey to the Center of the Earth". I have seen "Monster's vs Aliens" and "Up" in 3D also. BTW, Did you know the original "Creature from the Black Lagoon" was in 3d in the cinema with the old red-blue glasses? _________________________ "The more laws, the less justice." ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero "Man to man, the urban is no match for the rural mind." - Wallace Nutting “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” - Albert Einstein

Patrocles Hotshot Registered: 05/20/05 Posts: 7156 Loc: Chicagoland	I finally saw the IMAX 3D version of AVATAR this afternoon. Overall, I rate it a solid 7.5/10. The effects were fantastic and the 3D graphics were well done and not overused. I thought the film could have been a little more creative with the storyline. Overall, the film is as good as I expected. _________________________ "Patrocles, yes we get old and peak sexaully [sic] after 18yo.

SFViper19D Forum Scout Member Registered: 05/14/09 Posts: 118 Loc: Goshen, IN.	Saw the movie this weekend and enjoyed it. While I have to admit the storyline was a bit of a rehash on Dances with Wolves, I was willing to overlook it as I thought the pros outweighed the cons. If I had the chance I would see it again and I already told the wife we are buying the special edition DVD when it comes out. _________________________ "In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it." - Field Marshal Erwin Rommel I5-2500K Corsair H80 Cooler Asus P8Z68-V PRO 16GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Vengeance Diamond Radeon HD5870 1TB HDD Corsair HX750w Windows 7 (64-bit)
