It would be seemingly impossible for any movie to live up to all of the "hype" generated by this production, but Avatar did! I am 64 yrs and took my sons 33 & 27 yrs to the IMAX the day after Christmas and we all were blown away by the experience, the visuals, the technology,....this really could change the way we judge going to the movies in the future...do you want a nice story or do you want the full mind-blowing head-spinning experience of IMAX 3-D surround sound? You will have a choice.
