Watched Avatar last night. Midnight show, 4-story screen, 3D.

Unbelievable.

James Cameron isn't much known for his dialog or characters, but the technical achievements and attention to detail made that barely noticeable, and the 3D characters really came to life. He certainly raised the bar with this one.

3 hour movie. I went by myself and was barely able to get ONE seat 30 minutes before the thing started.

do you have to wear 3d glasses to watch the 3d version? does the theatre sell them? planning on going sunday.

Did you experience any nausea? I've heard some who watched the 3D version had trouble watching it because of nausea and dizzyness.

I am also interested in knowing about needing/not needing 3-D glasses. I have never been to a 3-D movie before.

Am planning on seeing it tomorrow night. Wife doesn't know it yet, is she in for a surprise. Will probably have to bribe her with $10 movie nachos, she loves those.

I get new bionics the first week of January - holding off on anything theater related until then.

Dunno if I could stand to sit there like a nerd wearing 3D glasses. It's hard enough to sit still as it is.

At our cinema there is a 3-D showing and a non-3-D showing. Our cinema charges $10 extra for the 3-D movie and the glasses are included in that.

I wonder if the movie experience is worth the $10?

3D movies I've been to before have been worth the extra amount...especially it it's in an IMAX.

Hopefully I'll be able to go before it leaves the IMAX 3D here. Maybe next month sometime.

Yes, they supply glasses, but like Renda said, it makes the ticket price go up. But, honestly, you have to see it in 3D. James Cameron is the one responsible for pushing 3D capabilities into theatres just for this movie. My ticket was $14 and included the glasses. That was on a massive DLP screen in Plano, TX.

And it's not the old school glasses, they look like this:
