Real live 3D


We finally saw Avatar: the 3D Experience the other day. The best part was that we saw it during the day on a weekday so most of the audience was over 70. During the previews, the comments from the ladies in front of us ranged from, "that looks awful" to "that's an interesting premise".

I kind of didn't want to like Avatar because of all of the hype, but I have to say, we both fully enjoyed it. The storyline was pretty predictable, but that really wasn't the most compelling part of it. We totally got sucked into the whole, vivid world created in the film. Scott was saying he could see why there were those reports of people getting depression after watching it and feeling that real life wasn't so magical.

I don't think I've seen a movie in 3D since Captain E.O. which I guess is more of a "ride" than a movie so I can't say I understand how much awesome-er the technology has gotten. But... the "3D experience" was pretty fun and it made me "ooh" and "ahh" a lot. And check out how cool you look with the glasses on! It was pretty funny seeing the crowd walk out with them still on not realizing they were living 3D and didn't need them anymore. Whoa, life is in 3D!
