Movies

yes it did

Yes, Avatar was a very visually appealing film.  It was shot with 3-d cameras whatnot, and it blew movie watchers away.  Now, I think movie watchers just expect EVERYTHING in 3-d.  Which is disappointing, really.  But I guess we can't help it.  I really do miss the days of movies that sold because they actually had substance.

Have moviewatchers finally said, "That's it." to the new higher movie prices? MiyazakiFan Jun 06, 17:36

They were perfectly happy to pay high ticket process for Avatar and Alice in Wonderland. It's the movies. {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 17:40

Those are the only two movies though.. and they were giant, event, 3D films. MiyazakiFan Jun 06, 17:42

Iron Man 2 is almost at $300m. CLASH and HTRYD have done well too. {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 17:49

Plus summer is supposed to be full of giant event films. This summer just hasn't delivered them so much {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 17:54

you're right. Lets see audiences stay away from Toy Story 3 and Eclipse because of ticket prices. {nm} Moviesnob Jun 06, 18:01

Pretty much. The bottom line is that most of the summer films this year have been pretty poor with a few exceptions {nm} mrbeankc Jun 06, 21:50

yes it did darknightz Jun 06, 18:38

prices, not process. Stupid autotype {nm} RogerMore Jun 06, 17:43

How much is to high, I took my family of 4 to SHRK4 for with popcorn and drimks for less than $30. Movies are better in damenchipguy Jun 07, 06:15

I'll speak for myself and say yes. After prices went up to $12 per ticket 2 years ago, I said it's just not worth it. Haven't been back Oleg Max Jun 06, 18:51

tix prices vary much around the world. i can still see new (non3d)films OW evening as low as $5 here (midwest US). Recent films just havent islander Jun 06, 19:41

Thank God For Costco, two adult tickets for $15.49. (No blackout dates) {nm} BelizeIt Jun 06, 20:33

I paid $35 for two tix to see Iron Man 2 in IMAX at the AMC Boston Common. Not going to do that again. {nm} swynne23 Jun 07, 06:02

Except for a movie like Avatar that was made for 3D, I don't like to pay the extra for movie which had 3D patched over... lukasck Jun 07, 07:33

More-so people saying no to crappy movies, no? Also, look at the summer line-up, it really wasnt that spectacular so far bennyboy10 Jun 07, 08:17

You can get the DVD in what -feels like- a couple weeks after release. Huge TVs are becoming more common. Why waste the money now? {nm} Biff68 Jun 07, 08:32

1 word- Netflix {nm} Egon Jun 07, 08:45
