I have seen many IMAX features that were designed for IMAX, films at museums and amusement parks and so forth, and most have been awesome. But as far as feature films go, I haven't been impressed. I remember that Spiderman at the IMAX was almost a brutal experience for me. Left me seasick and queasy and with a bit of a headache. Generally I am not a fan of 3D anyway, it just seams a bit gimmicky to me. I saw AVATAR on the regular sized screen but in 3D. I wish I would have seen the non-3D version.
I know the plot had a lot of predictability, but for some reason it didn't really bother me at all. I would actually like to see it again in non-3D and absorb it one more time.
I appreciate the IMAX 3D review, though. I will avoid it, I think.

That's like saying "I'd hate to be burned to death, so I'm off to the electric chair instead."

Optimus Prime wrote:I went into the movie with no real expectations and was pleasantly surprised by what I received in return. I saw the movie first in 2D and then another friend wanted to go see it in 3D and I figured I'd go and see how that went as well. It certainly is not the "greatest movie ever," but in my opinion (as someone who watches upwards of 50 movies in theater a year) it was one of the top five movies of 2009.
Anyone who goes into movies, especially any movie that deals with science-fiction/fantasy, and expects some intellectually moving experience is a bit naive in my opinion. Some movies are made to produce spectacular visuals and great entertainment, and that is all. Transformers is one of those movies where the plot isn't that great but nobody can argue the visuals weren't awesome.
I feel like Avatar fell sort of in the middle. The plot wasn't superb, but it also wasn't lacking all that much either. It's a rather long movie and was paced quite well as I never thought I was "sitting through a long movie" like I did with the Harry Potter films and the Lord of the Rings films. It had a few minor "make you think" moments, but for the most part was all about being visually fantastic, which it certainly did achieve.
Overall, I'd give the movie a B+, or maybe an 7.5/8 out of 10. It was worth my money to see it in the theater, and I don't feel bad about paying full price to see it twice, and that is usually the barometer I use to decide on movies and it has served me well for a long time.

hahaha3hahaha, have you seen a big budget blockbuster type move in recent years that you liked? I am not being sarcastic, just curious.
hmmmm...
I can think of 4 great movies released in the 21st century- American history X, Kill Bill volume 1, Inglorious Basterds and Fight Club.
