It is, and I am :D

I went yesterday, but I'm having thoughts about going again today. My theater plans on taking Avatar out of 3D on Friday. While they are placing it on their 2D screens the same day, I'm not quite sure how it will compare.

EDIT: Wait... no, one of my theaters is actually putting it BACK in 3D on Friday, March 26. Apparently, they got another 3D projector.
*sequels in joy*

:D

I havent been to this section of the forums in a couple days, so I totally missed this thread, but I was going to see Avatar in Real-D 3-D last friday, but the last two showings were at 7:00pm and 10:30pm, and I couldn't see it at 7:00pm because I get out of college at 7:00pm so I had this plan to go see Avatar at 10:30pm, it is a Friday night so I didn't care how late I stayed up (I don't care on weekdays either haha little humor for this sad thread) so I called my mom after dropping my friend off at his house (he totaled his car) and told her I was going to hang out at the mall till about 10:00pm and go see Avatar at 10:30pm... I should've expected this next part to happen. "10:30? wow thats really late, not tonight" I was dumfounded. What? Its too late? "I don't want you driving around that late at night" she continued. I'm freaking 19 years old, I've been driving for 2 1/2-3 years I've been out way later than 12:00 or whenever the movie got out. She treats me like a child. And she wonders why I want to move out so badly. So I couldn't see it Friday night, Saturday (I was busy all day long) or Sunday (again I was busy). "Thats okay" I told myself, "I get out of college this Friday, so I'll go see it in Real-D 3-D at 7:00pm, and no one is telling me otherwise. So today I checked the times to make sure nothing changed, and I looked at the big theater by my college, and scrolling down all that was there was Avatar. No Real-D 3-D next to it. I couldn't believe it. I missed my oppertunity to see it one last time in Real-D 3-D. I could seriously cry right now if I wan't at work. I'm still going to go see it, I'm just afraid it won't be the same. I have to see Avatar again though, I haven't seen it in nearly 3 weeks and I feel like I'm going mad. I was fearing of this day for a long time, and now it's finally came. There are sad times ahead, but if we look in the direction of a light they won't seem as sad or dark. This movie is being released to us on Blue-Ray and DVD in the next month, thats pretty fast. Everyday is a day closer to the release of Avatar 2. Everyday is a day closer to the other two releases of Avatar on DVD and Blue-Ray. Still I can't help but stay as much in the sad as the happy. And I just checked for the 27th and the theater is playing Avatar in 2-D still. so it's still playing after the 26th for me... but for how much longer I can't say. Oel ngati kameie

That sucks stanley, I really hope you get to see it again tomorrow. As for me, the local cinema is still showing it in 3D, but it's dropped down to 2 showings a day, both of which are pretty early in the day which seems to point to the direction of them dropping it all together soon. :(

Ah well, at least I preordered the blu-ray. ;)

I also preordered it in Blue-Ray as well... now I just need to get a Blue-Ray player haha also that night I ended up staying out past 12:30am with my friends anyways so I felt even more upset haha

Aww that double-sucks! :)

At least you were in good company.

And you don't have a blu-ray player yet? I'd suggest getting a PS3. It will stay up-to-date with all the latest blu-ray advances. They've already confirmed that later this year they're upgrading the firmware so that it can do 3D blu-ray. :D

Human No More 03-25-2010 05:15 PM

Meh, PS3s are overpriced. I'm just going to add a bluray drive to my computer, and save £160 or so plus the cost of a TV :P, also saves the hassle of getting a Ps3, setting it up, and the realisation that I just spent £210 on something I will only ever use to watch Avatar and maybe play Brutal Legend (the only other reason to get a PS3)

Well i live in the capital city but was orginally from a smaller town about 50 miles away - and its going through its last viewings here as well, but luckily a new cinema opened in my old hometown and ofc its gonna show avatar in 3d and guess who will be going there in his holidays to visit his family.. xD

It's not all that overpriced if you ask me. It's defeinitely cheaper than the original, which is priced ridiculously high. The newer PS3 is $400.00 cheaper than the original, though the newer model has less features. As well as it being a great game console, it's also considered one of the best blu-ray players on the market, which is exactly why I'm trying to get one. To add to that, the PS3's blu-ray player is 3D compatible, so you can play 3D movies on it.

Human No More 03-25-2010 05:49 PM

Great console maybe, but a PC is still > any console. The only game I'd ever want on a console is Brutal Legend, and would prefer that on PC if only they actually released it :angry: - Also, as I said before, I would need to buy a TV (and then most likely get into problems since I'd have to say 'yes, I do have a TV but I don't use it to watch TV so I'm not giving you £150/year that I really don't have' - not sure they would accept that, lol.)

Helicoradian 03-25-2010 06:33 PM

Well I got a ticket to see it later today for the last time in 3d:'(

Yeah, I see. I can understand your reasoning. There's not much reason for me to get a PS3 either as I don't own any PS3 games, though I plan on making use of more than just the blu-ray player in the future (God of War looks like a good game... :)). Same goes for TV, but it's about time the household got a decent TV.

Txum_kali'weya 03-26-2010 03:21 AM

well, i saw it one last time in 3D.

i almost did cry when i got home...

it is continuing in 2D, but it's just not the same.

zongtseng 03-26-2010 03:56 AM

I am just back from the final showing at the Indiana State Museum film IMAX. I had tears right from the opening flyover, and it continued most of the movie. I can't believe it's gone... I know it will come back at some point, but that really doesn't help at the moment. PAD is back at it's absolute highest level for me:'(
