Yep, took my ex's son to see it on Saturday after booking it over a month in advance in order to get the two best seats at the iMax.

This really is a film which demands the big screen and I'd say which also demands 3D. The only other film I'd watched with the new clear (non red/green) 3D glasses was the last in the 'Final Destination' franchise where the 3D effect was something of a distraction if anything.

With Avatar, after the first few minutes of adjusting to the effect I just became more involved in the film, and in general the iMax + 3D + spectacular landscapes of Pandora resulted in an immersive movie experience which cannot be recommended enough.

Hi-brow critics will no doubt pick holes in the well trodden path the story follows, with elements of Dances with Wolves, Rambo, Rocky, Alien - take your pick - but a pox on anyone who gives this film the merest semblance of a thumbs down.

Superb.


Today is a gift - that's why it's called the Present.
