I saw Avatar in 3D IMAX. It was breathtaking! I went and saw it again. It was again breathtaking. Very seldom have I ever felt a movie was worth the price of admission in recent years, but this was worth much more.
Was the movie a silly liberal fantasy? Yes. Were the special effects well done? Extremely. But the 3D made up for for the film’s faults, and elevated the film’s other strengths to such a degree that I’d gladly go see it again.
Now, home 3D? My wife wants it - badly! But I’d just as soon spend our money on SHTF supplies, and my time planting food and cleaning our guns. Home 3D ain’t gonna be worth much when the grid goes down in the coming conflagration.
I’d probably pay a premium for 3D gaming, but I find it doesn’t add to the movie experience.
