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
