I liked that it was not usually in-your-face 3-D but mostly just "there." (I watch movies not dubbed-into-German which only 2-D cinemas offer in this town, so it was my first 3-D movie outside some IMAX CG bullshit a few years ago.)<br /><br />No headache, thankfully, even despite me eyes having a slight focusing problem at times.OJ (not that one)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09554055826376149454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-13209020377251947872010-01-04T22:54:49.112-08:002010-01-04T22:54:49.112-08:00Cameron takes a very simple archetypal storyline, ...Cameron takes a very simple archetypal storyline, does not complicate it with silly things like bad guys with depth, and pairs it with monumental effects.

So I took an aspirin right before the film. maybe that's why I didn't get a headache. <br /><br />2nd time I saw the film, I had a splitting headache that morning (cos of too much reading), so I popped another aspirin. so i didnt get a headache during the 2nd viewing, eitherSabina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14679639206346030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-36186392834544039392010-01-04T16:10:58.342-08:002010-01-04T16:10:58.342-08:00Avatar effing Ferngully Redux, for crying out loud...Avatar effing Ferngully Redux, for crying out loud in 3D.Patty Pancakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-28340719641645756352010-01-04T15:38:51.690-08:002010-01-04T15:38:51.690-08:00I loved the spectacle but hated the movie.

I like to see stories about characters who have sane reasons for doing what they do.<br /><br />Jake's brilliant plan is to go to war.. harder than they had already been going to war? And he would have lost, but the spirit of the planet liked him better than any of the actual natives, so they win.<br /><br />See, Apostrophes, you should have tried <i>praying</i> to your Prayer Tree. Good thing there was a human around to teach you.<br /><br />And yes, the 3D gave me a splitting headache. It was pretty, but anytime something showed up in the foreground, six inches in front of me, I had to close one eye or get painfully jolted out of the movie.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024840119963076152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-41489381555986985912010-01-04T15:07:21.741-08:002010-01-04T15:07:21.741-08:00Loved it.
