Avatar has not only lived up to the hype, it has exceeded it. It MUST be seen, and in 3D if it's available in your area.

Also, check out http://www.pandorapedia.com for detailed sourcebook-like info on various species and tech in the movie.

I saw it today in IMAX 3D and I'm not sure if the fog I had afterwords was a 3D glasses headache, a hunger headache (hadn't eaten in 14 hours), blinded by the rapid movement from 3 hours of darkness into sun light, or if I was just still trying to absorb it all, but I enjoyed myself the entire time.

When I saw Transformers 2 I checked my watch at least a dozen times asking myself "When will this fucking abomination end?" but in the entire 2 hour 40 minute run of Avatar I never even thought about what time it was or how close to the end I am.

its like... Night Elves in a Roger Dean painting giving my imagination a blowjob as it sits in a bathtub full of serotonin.

I love this movie...period.

yeah, this movie is stuck in my head now.

There has been a sad moment of realization here at the Sparks HQ.  While I suspected it from the start I have just found out beyond a shadow of doubt that what I saw was no IMAX but in fact LieMAX.

For me this fix this I will be driving 50 minutes to a true IMAX theater to hopefully be once again blown away by this breath taking film.

There are some theaters that, I dunno, purchase the imax naming rights or something, and claim that a slightly larger screen is imax when it really isnt. Theres a theater in Knoxville that does it. The screen we saw RotF on in Nashville was genuine.

80 ft tall and something stupid wide.....you can tell....ya know...unless you are blind... O.o I heard that some theaters claim "imax" but instead, they're just a foot or so taller than normal movie screens.

I just went to IMAX.com and they will show a map with the nearest IMAXs to you.

A standard IMAX screen is 22 metres (72 ft) wide and 16.1 metres (53 ft) high, but can vary. The world's largest cinema screen and IMAX screen is in the LG IMAX theatre in Darling Harbour, Sydney

Maybe you got the smallest one? anyhoo, check your grammar before you post something...it's starting to get annoying.

There are some grammar mistakes, I can see past.  But almost every post Sparks made in this thread, compelled me to read it twice, three times to understand what he was trying to say.  That's just bad communication

Are you incorrect Ma'am

It's just frustrating for me to read. That's all I'm saying.

No, I just think faster than I can type and that leads some weirdness at times.
