We saw Avatar in Real 3D a few weeks ago and I was less than impressed with the whole “3D” concept. It was the first 3D movie I had seen and so I really didn’t know exactly what to expect going in. I was thinking it was going to be more like the idea of stuff that looks like you can reach out and touch or things would look like they were coming through the screen at you.

But in the end, it really was more like there was more depth to the movie. It looked like there were multiple layers that moved independent of one another. I can’t even figure out how to describe this. Basically it allowed multiple things to be in focus that are at different distances and things seemed to move on different planes almost.

As a whole, however, it was just as distracting and headache-inducing as it was an enjoyable experience. It certainly wasn’t something that I feel like I have to have for future movies. It doesn’t seem like something that will suddenly make me want to see more movies. It was all sizzle and no steak.
