A couple weeks ago my wife and I finally went to see Avatar. I had been holding out for the DVD version because I already knew from the reviews and many trailers the basic story. And I am not a big fan of any movie that depicts mans goal to obliterate another species or ravage a culture just because they have natural resources that our money hungry nature must exploit.

But everyone said I had to see this movie on the big screen to really see Pandora in its spender.  So my wife and I decided to have a dinner and movie. Of course by now Avatar was relegated to one of the smaller theaters but still bigger then our 42” HDTV. We put on the 3D glasses and sat back for a thrill. As this was my first 3D movie I was skeptical but soon I was buried in the movie.

Yes I will say it was a good flick and worth watching at least one time in a theater with the whole 3D thing, but I don’t plan on making it a habit. Personally I did not like having to wear the glasses because it meant that I could not wear my own prescription pair. Having  a short depth of field on the screen meant I had to wear them or everything was really fuzzy and that did not appeal to me at all! The other thing was I did not see the blue creatures that are portrayed in all the still photo’s.
