Other than a lack of sharpness that most people may miss, it didn't lose as much in 2D as I thought. I think the sharpness thing is due to the IMAX being in 70 mm, but I'm not a film tech geek. It helps that it didn't have gimmicky 3D stuff shooting out of the screen at you. The forest stuff was still amazing and so were the flying and battle scenes.

Strange you didn't mention whether you saw Avatar in 3D or not, IMAX or not.... (?) Well, nevermind. {nm} Facto Dec 21, 10:00

Just 3d, no IMAX. Visually stunning but the story was horrible. Seeing it in IMAX wouldn't change the story {nm} skamanfu Dec 21, 10:41

And with all the praise given to this film no one can ever complain the next time Hollywood spoonfeeds them crap with great visuals {nm} skamanfu Dec 21, 10:43

It was made for 'all of the family' though, can't be too complex or have too much depth.Must connect on emotional level,I think it succeded. {nm} Facto Dec 21, 13:25

"Invictus" and "The Hurt Locker," both lean, well-made and acted, earnest, realist-leaning. {nm} second gary Dec 21, 13:05

invictus was wretched. if i have to hear morgan freeman wish one other person good luck....... {nm} maceodkat Dec 21, 13:17

I thought "Invictus," "The Hurt Locker" and "Where the wild things are" all had an admirable simplicity to them, and resisted... second gary Dec 21, 14:38
