Went to see Avatar last night, 7.5 out of 10.
Loses half a point because the special effects although are awesome there was a couple of points in the beginning that I though could have been better but it neither here nor there, story line was'nt too bad, nothing out of this world but easily watchable, bit of everything for most people i'd think.
If you relax into it the fact that most of it is computer generated disappears from your mind.
Must be seen on the big screen to fully appreciate though I think. Nah bugger it, 8 out of 10....

40'' would be plenty, though we've been over that.

I see Upper Hutt is the closest 3D screening. Hmmmmm

yeh, apparently theres two polarised projectors shining on same screen, and each eye of the sunglasses is polarised opposites, so you get totally different images in full color and high def
