When you see New Moon you fit into 1 of 2 categories. A fan of the books/Rob/Taylor/Kristen or just a movie goer going to see the latest action/vampire flick. If you are in category 1 then you are going to love this movie and think its the greatest thing ever. If you are in category 2, you'll think it was good, entertaining etc. I am reading the books but I am not an avid fan. The movie was good as far as vampire/werewolf movies go. The werewolves are the coolest part and you will more than likely enjoy watching them in action. I would recommend it for the category 2 people if they saw the first one and are planning on seeing the next movies. Overall a pretty good movie with some very entertaining moments.
We saw Avatar in Real 3D twice and our third time in Imax 3D. Real 3D does not do this movie justice. Seeing it in Imax 3D is like seeing it for the first time. The movie is amazingly beautiful. The story is compelling. Jake is the hero we all root for, the disabled ex-marine who starts off fighting for the wrong side and then realizes that he has fallen in love with the forest, the people and the beautiful Neytiri. Combat scenes are awesome and seeing it in Imax 3D allows you to feel them in all their glory. We took our 8 year old and he absolutely loved it. We highly recommend Avatar in Imax 3D.
