I'm probably going to cry tonight at the theater I'f it's my last showing of Avatar. DEar Lord I would love to see It again if it's still in theaters but still it's the whole fact that the time of it being taken out saddens me dearly

I really hate typing on my iTouch as you can tell by all these mistakes

I know exactly how you feel. I saw the last showing of Avatar at my local IMAX theatre two days ago. I had only seen Avatar once before, in 2D. Watching it in 3D on an IMAX screen was ... incredible. I was in tears from the opening flyover too, all the way until the end of the movie. I thought my PAD was bad the first time around, but right now it's stronger than I ever thought possible...

It's still here in sweden, gothenburg, and at the rate those tickets are getting sold out, I'd say it's gonna stay a couple of more weeks, even if the DVD is out or not (since it's 3d.. and CINEMA after all, it's a whole other experience

)
I don't know if fox would like that really, heh, but anyway, every Wednesday tickets are released here, up until thursday the week thereafter. And there's an icon next to the movies that are kinda "last chance" to see, and Avatar doesn't have that.

Yeah, if anything, I would expect to see a shift back toward 3D screens when the DVD comes out. The 3D cinema experience cannot be replicated at home, and won't be any time soon. If we are talking about IMAX, then yeah, that probably won't ever be duplicated at home, except by the super rich

oh man, a personal IMAX :O

I was curious for a couple days after seeing Avatar opening night how much it would cost to build your own personal IMAX theater...

Yeah my last 3d experience was extraordinarily sad for me too

And the scene where Jake opens his eyes at the end of the movie made me cry just a little

Normally I am very emotionless but this was the first time Avatar got to me, and the first time a movie has ever made me cry. Looking back on it this viewing was almost as profound to me as the very first but I cant really say why, beside the fact it was the last 3d showing at the local theater. Starting to feel a case of PAD coming back...

Exactly. When Jake started saying, "I don't want to be late for my own party," I felt such a sinking feeling, knowing that the movie was almost over. I got hit with PAD the second the credits finished rolling, and really wanted it to go away. It's gone today, and now I desperately want it back... I'm very confused!

I'm so very sad that I didn't realize last weekend was the last weekend for Avatar in 3D. It's only 2D now.

Damnit, and I was trying to be nice by not going over the weekend for my girlfriend! Should have taken the opportunity.

Last night was the final showings of Avatar in town. The final 3D showing was late afternoon. There were a few 2D showings at a couple other theaters later, but now Avatar has surrendered its final screens to Clash of the Titans.

A run of almost 4 months in theaters is pretty amazing.

Just a note of possible optimism here. There were 4 IMAX theaters in the US showing Avatar last week. That number is up to 14 this week. While none of these is anywhere near me since the Indiana State Museum IMAX finished last Thursday, it appears that Avatar is making a comeback in IMAX, and I would expect that might increase as Alice and Dragons falls out of theaters. The next IMAX 3D titles are Toy Story and Shrek AFAIK, and those are quite a ways off.

Nice one

I'll have to check if there are any more at the one near me.

Silver Storm · #43 04-05-2010, 10:46 AM

yeah! guess who's best friend surprised me with reservations for the last showing of this week(maybe the last showing att all, since the only one planned for the coming week is today) whuhuu...

do you really think avatar will be back in 3d once the dvd is released?

Sometime in november, i think
