Saw Sherlock Holmes and Avatar last night
We were originally going to see Avatar in IMAX, but then all the seven o’clock set showings were sold out, even for the regular theaters. So, we went to see Sherlock Holmes instead, and that was great. I still dislike the Adler subplot, but otherwise - fabulous. You have to love the steampunk aesthetic they injected into it. And omg I totally forgot Mark Strong was in it <3
So as we’re leaving, we see that they’re letting a huge line of people into the Avatar IMAX theater, handing out glasses at the door. We go to the bathroom, come back out, the box of glasses is still there, no huge line. Dave looks at me, I nod, we grab two pairs of glasses and walk in and find some seats.
Now I was skeptical about how great this movie was going to be, but holyyyy shit was it incredible. I’m not sure if it was just how beautiful it was to watch, or if it was the new world and new culture, or just the fact that I related to the scientists and was therefore pulled more strongly into the movie. Probably all three and then some. It was awesome. I was totally into it the whole time; I cried, I cheered, I sat on the edge of my seat like this O.O I have to see it again, man.
Also, five words: Michele Rodriguez in three dimensions.
