I've never spent hundred of pounds (for some reason pounds never sounds as cool as dollars
 ) on a movie either. It's incredible the amount of emotion I still feel after watching it so many times.I do have to say, if you're gonna watch it at home, make sure you watch the bluray and have a good sound system (otherwise the music gets lost behind the dialogue)

They are connected to our beautiful nature on earth, they will always be connected to my memories of the time of my strongest PAD and so on. So, this time I watched it on my Computer. And for me the message of the movie and the movie itself is nearly just as powerful as in 3D or in 2D in cinemas. You just have to turn off the light in the room and watch it at night and suddenly all that exists is the monitor of your computer and it doesn't matter anymore how big it is. Quote:
Me too, I'm very glad for being able to share this unique experience with people who understand, who are able to SEE.

Also I agree that the effect is not diminished by the lack of 3D whatsoever. I still get sucked right into it everytime I watch it, completely forgetting i'm even on this planet any more. I too am so glad that you people are here to discuss this with. I'm also really, really looking forward to meeting some of you. Without you I would have gone totally insane. *hugs to all*

Tsmukan, you are denying yourself a great pleasure. You really need to watch the bluray. There are many that agree that the bluray is actually more detailed and has better color composition than real3d. Do not deny yourself any further my brother.

And for sure, the movie is sacred to me, I pre-ordered the movie on Blue-Ray and I didn't even have a Blue-Ray player yet! (I do now) I've only had time to watch the movie once since I got it and it's driving me mad! This friday I'm watching it... and as for sound? I've got my DJ speakers

I also have no Blue Ray Player and only a tube TV. No good home Entertainment system here. I could get a regular DVd if they sell them and play it on my PC, but I think it would not be the same. Low resolution, small picture, no great sound - maybe I could get it and find a friend who has a better system, but I doubt any has one. Most people i know are rather not into TV or videos. More into reading, Audiobooks and stuff that has nothing to do with media. My mom does not even have a TV anymore. I could put it on a beamer at work, but I would not feel comfortable crying at movie night at work at all! So I guess, I'll try to catch it in the cinemas whenever it comes there...

Every day I go to university, I walk past a poster advertising the Avatar Bluray and unless I'm really rushed, I always just stop and look at it for a moment, because it takes me to Pandora... I've seen Avatar I think 16 times in 3D and twice in IMAX. I watch it at home fairly often, I have my bluray copy and my big monitor. It's not a massive TV, but still plays HD and if I turn the lights off and sit back, I get just the same experience, minus the 3D... The truth is, I'm still badly hit with PAD, but I don't want to lose it because everything has changed for me. Avatar is the only thing I really have, along with my friends here

I think I could count the number of times I have watched my Blu Ray on one hand. Like I said, sometimes it just hurts too much...

It's been months since I've seen Avatar, and I still struggle with a little depression every now and then. Like when I wake up. Sometimes I wake up and just regret I'm not in a hammock, lying in a massive tree, in a place I can truely call "home".
However, I've let the PAD grow. Grow untill all I start to feel is...hapiness. It's odd, becuase happiness is something I haven't felt in a long time. I almost feel guilty about it, like once I smile I should get upset about not being on Pandora again. It's really silly, but it happens sometimes. But back to what I was saying, letting the PAD grow will allow you to truely feel content. It feels great. Sure, I love re-visiting those feelings of depression, as a way to reconnect with the pure state of mind, but there is a difference between letting these feelings slip away, and letting them grow. Going back to you old life as if nothing happened is letting them slip away. But developing them into real positive actions and true happiness is letting them grow. I reccommend the later. Remember, the end goal is to be happy right?

 . And even my dog starts to like my new way to sleep. Still - no big tree and no real feeling of beeing "at home" (meaning a place and people that I know will be there for me in years to come and me getting the chance to be there).Caveman, you are absolutely right! I feel the same - it is odd to have this mixup happening with sadnedd and happiness all connected to this so called "PAD". I do not like the term depression as I had had depression a lot and depression is usually the absence of feelings rather than sadness. Depression happens if the sadness gets so great that you block out emotions. Avatar did not make me depressed, it makes me sad and happy and this is to me rather the opposite of depression. To lose it by, as you say, go back to old life would be truely depressing.

Actually, I think i really was depressed. I know that's a strong word, but its true. I didn't feel anything, and I didn't care. If I felt anything it was an overwhelming pressure to die. It was a really scary time. There was a lot of other things going on too that contributed to it, but still, it was really scary. I didn't know if I would make it another day, if I would just kill myself at any moment.
Yet those days have passed. Still, a little remains, and always will. But I can feel happines again, true happiness. I've come a long way, and I have a long way left to go.
