The IMAX 3D experience allows you to totally immerse yourself in the story. The specials effects are wonderful and with the 3D you really feel like you're there and apart of what's going on. When it was over and the lights came on I almost felt like I was waking from a dream. Pandora was so vibrant and the characters were so real! I was actually disappointed when I walked out into the gray, cold, theatre parking lot. I looked to my fiance and said, "Man our world sucks". :P
