Just when you think going to the movies is a waste of time and money, Hollywood surprises you with something like this. You expect most of the picture to be traditional 2D with a sprinkling of 3D effects here and there. Not so with "Avatar 3D". This is a thrilling, 100% 3-dimensional experience, right down to the most minute pixels and whispers. The plot sagged a bit towards the end, and the underlying messages became tedious, but with those jaw-dropping sights and sounds one can tolerate an average storyline.
HOWEVER - it appears that Cinemagic is in the habit of over-selling shows. "Avatar 3D" was so good it might have been worth another look, but I didn't pay $15 per ticket to sit in a kitchen chair for three hours.
