AVATAR (2009) - Feb. 21, 2010 (Second Viewing)
Yep, I don't like 3D.  This is supposedly the pinnacle of 3D technology, and while this is probably the best implementation that I've seen for 3D thus far, that's really not saying much.  The technology still feels inherently gimmicky to me, and just serves to constantly remind you that you're watching a film, making any real immersion in the story much more difficult.  Plus, I don't think the technology is quite there yet, particularly for the live action stuff -- the 3D technology tends to make everything seem more flat, which is pretty much the opposite of what its supposed to do.  That said, in any format this film is still a masterful piece of popcorn entertainment  ****
