What my investigation is telling me is that the ReelD system used not by Imax ( using circular polarisation) gives a much cleaner image with no ghosting , and better depth perception. The 3D system used by IMAX is relatively old . I am considering to see it back at Greater Union for my second time and save $9 and big journey Mark
After reading your posts about the different aspect ratios I googled the RealD and the circular polarisation allows room to move your head around while still keeping the 3D effect. On IMAX I was sort of looking up at the screen and trying to keep those big flat glasses square. When I said we all looked like dame edna I'm not kidding. It was life having a huge flat piece of cardboard stuck on your forehead with two holes in it. The RealD glasses in comparison were way better. More confortable. You're right go to Greater Union for your second time though. I tried IMAX but I wouldn't recommend it. Not for this particular movie anyway. My next time will be back at Hoyts too.

just bought tickets to IMAX-have to do so well in advance, sessions seem to be sold out for days- and then read Marcs post
no havent seen it before and since the last movie I saw may well have been LOTR I don't think I will see it again so have to make the most of it I suppose
nooooooo .... I love going to movies on my own, noone beside you saying annoying things!!!! Go and see it one morning!!!
I have seen Avatar once, in a normal theatre, and will see it again in a couple of weeks ... when crowds die down ..... also dont like people sitting next to me ..... invading my space

sigh, one day I'll get to see it
when's it coming out on dvd??
You SO have to go and see it. Make an exception. I've seen it 3 times and loved it. I reluctantly have to go and see it once more because my daughter hasn't seen it in 3D and she can't go by herself.

Nah... don't worry about my ranting mate. Go for it. I just enjoyed it more in RealD than IMAX 3D, t'is all, but that's me . Still good value though

It wouldn't be the same on DVD you need the Real3D to get the most out of it I mean there are things flying around that you think you can reach out and pluck them out of the air in front of you.
I've been thinking about all these comments on "waiting for DVD" and "you must see it in 3D".
It was a beautiful movie visually, and I'd totally recommend seeing it on the big screen to fully appreciate it.
But as far as the 3D goes, while it does add another dimension to the visual, I think it would still be a visual treat even if not 3D. It wasn't like some movies created specifically for 3D, things are constantly popping towards and away from you to give that 3D effect, but the storyline is pretty crap etc because they've focused on the 3D and not the plot/story/movie quality.
I reckon Avatar carries itself as a great movie even without the 3D. That just adds a little more to it.
