So I got home after another hard weeks slog getting in and out of work in the snow and ice, to find a nice wee parcel had arrived in the post from Panasonic.. Coraline 3d, Ice Age 3 3d some concert footage in 3d.. and Avatar 3d..
Couldnt wait to watch Avatar so as soon as the kids were in bed, the lights were off.. and the 3d glasses were out.. but doom.. they had run out of batteries.. so had to recharge them.. So Avatar was postponed till Saturday night..
So after the x factor saturday night.. finally got to sit down and watch it.. i havent been a great believer in 3d so far.. but I have to say Avatar in 3d is pretty cool.. The 3d has amazing depth in places.. as well as 'pop'.. i found myself being much more absorbed in the movie..
I kinda wish i hadnt watched the standard blu-ray before a couple of times.. as i'm sort of bored with the story a little at this stage.. but still its pretty awesome.. my wife even thought it was cool.. and she's been on an anti 3d hate campaign since the tv arrived in the house!
There were a few memorable scenes.. like when the little jelly fish guys all swarm around jake when he meets netari (yes i know crap spelling) i swear they were right in front of our eyes.. You could just tell watching the movie that Cameron has it down to an art..
My only complaints.. .well i did find myself getting more tired than usual while watching the movie... and we had the room in complete darkness for the best experience.. even then the image was a tad dark.. switching off the movie and going back to sky hd was like taking off a pair of sunglasses...
My only dilema now ? Should i sell it or not.... if i could get 200 quid for it.. i'd put the money towards a new AVR... but i dont think its worth that.. and i kinda like having a movie that cant be bought in the shops!
Anyone else got it and viewed it?
Cheers,
Mick
