The third time I watched Avatar
 

Last time was in January I think, and now there was just a cinema that showed the movie in 2D. I got late for 15 minutes and didn't take any popcorn or drink.

Yet it was my best watch.

I just got into the movie so much, I could feel everything that happened in there (even the heat or the breeze, just like if I've been there before); and I enjoyed it soooo much man. Instead of feeling depressed once I got out the movie, I was happy for my last visit to Pandora. Inspired, illuminated, high,... call it X. It's like everything now made sense.

I think someone called it PAE, Post Avatar Euphoria.

Well, it's awesome. :D

I too had P.A.E after my 13th or so viewing, everything I saw was so beautiful and I was happy all the time, no matter what life threw at me.

Unfortunately, i've slipped back into P.A.D now. :(

I enjoy PAE (i thought it stood for Post Avatar Entertainment :D) its such a feeling of joy and happiness :D I'm glad for you OP

i never take food in.
My 3rd viewing (of 11) was the one that gave me PAE.

I had PAE after my first time, before PAD hit later that evening.
that first time, on my way out, I was just thinking 'wow, that was amazing...'
I've never had quite the same feeling since... It's been there, but always with PAD as well, and with the sense of my mind still being on Pandora.

And as for me, I can't take food and/or drinks in because I get so excited, so anxious, have these feelings that I can't explain that I can't eat while I'm in the theater

Awesome! :)

Same here. I tried taking in a bag of popcorn the first time ... when the movie finished, my popcorn was still sitting there, forgotten. Avatar isn't just entertainment -- you're so busy living it that you don't have time to zone out and eat!

I never take food or drink in, except for the first time, when I did but just ignored it, because I was too absorbed in the film. After that, I really didn't want to being anything that would just be distracting and break the immersion.

I... kinda asked about this a couple days ago in another thread and no one paid attention.

But anyways, glad to see people are actually HAPPY after viewing sometimes! :) I personally feel happy after every viewing, and I've only had P.A.D. once (about 4 months ago).
