Avatar: See it in 3D or 2D?

Are you going to see it in 2D or 3D? I'm still deciding whether I should support the Hoyts Monopoly and pay $20 (au) to see it in 3D.

That is bloody expensive considering I could see the movie in 2D for $7.

I'm going to see it.. so that means lots of people are going to see it. I'm not going to see it in 3D.. 3D is silly, and never is the reason why I watch anything.

I predict this movie will gross 300 million at the box office.. and earn another 500 million on dvd sales.

3-D always seems pretty cheesy. I was impressed by it when I was a kid but it just seems like a gimmick now. I'll see it 2-D.xTheExploited

More than likely it'll be in 2D. When does it come out BTW?Travo_basic

How about 0-D, mirite guys?

Bit precious are we? biggest_loser

3-D is mainly a selling point for those who think special effects are more important than plot/talentharashawn

Or, you know, without jumping to any nasty conclusions, they just think it'd be interesting to see something in 3D once in a while.

you don't even notice a movie is in 3-D after a while. Not to mention the glasses are uncomfortable. I'd rather not spend the extra money. harashawn

Don't forget that the 3D generally isn't very good and it makes the picture darker and blurry.

If you're not going to watch it in 3D in theaters, then you might as well rent it when it comes out of DVD.

Notice my use of the phrase "without jumping to any nasty conclusions".

2-D

3-D movies give me a headache.

I doubt I'm going to see it but I'd go with 2D. I despise 3D movies.

2D i could get so much more with that $20

Why? There are some movies you need to see in theaters, this obviously being one of them regardless whether it's in 3D or not. And Blu-Ray is better than DVD.

But DVD sales are still beating Blu-Ray sales.Rampage6guard

who the hell is charging $20 for a 3d movie?!?!?!?!?!?!renigade16

Im seeing it in 3drenigade16

They spent years and millions to develop the 3D camera and the tech. This is the best 3D available. It's a movie that, unlike the lame-ass teen movies that influence OT's opinion on 3D, is using the technology properly - as in it doesn't try to stab your eyes and... it's using the proper lenses and lightning!

It's insulting to even think about seeing it in 2D for the first time. Insulting to both the makers of Avatar and to the industry.

If you don't only care about the story, at which point where you should reconsider your stance as a movie lover, you have to see it in 3D.

It's like watching the black and white version of The Wizard of Oz, or refusing to see movies with sound. As crappy as Avatar might end up, the technological advancements are up there with colour and sound. You wouldn't want to miss the start of a new era in cinematography, would you?

Blu-Ray is not better than DVD... people want to pay more for something that really doesn't play an significance in enjoyment. IT's all psychological.. people think Blu-Ray is better because it's suppose to have the best picture.. whatever, the difference really isn't that huge to warrant a change in format.EMOEVOLUTION

What the hell did I just read?!

I'm going to see it in 4-D 8)

I'm gonna go to see it in 3-D, I also want to see a crhistmas carol in 3-D but not as much.

3ddefinitely , you'd be missing out to see it in 2d as its a film made to showcase james camerons own technology

IMAX 3D, i want to see all the vibrant color and stuff in the way it was intended.

I disagree there is a diffrence but not a huge one. and really if your watching a movie for the way it looks graphics, sound and all that. then youre opion doesnt matter. Movies like books and plays are there for the story not how cool an explosion looks on your 54in flat screen.renigade16

I'd probably see it in 3D, but now remembering that it may cost more, I'd probably see it in 2D. Movies cost enough as it is.

If you don't take advantage of this medium, then don't make a movie at all. Putting two men in front of a camera and making them have a good conversation isn't making a film.

That's not saying that every movie should have CGI and asplosions. But every movie should look good. If not, the support is simply wasted. Make it a book, the readers visualise it well enough...
