When I think about ticket prices, having to deal with other people, and not being able to pause if I need too, I generally prefer the smaller screen. Of course I have a 52" wide-screen so small is relative.<br /><br />There are very few movies any more that I'm tempted to rush out and see when I know the DVD release is only 3-6 months away.<br /><br />I must be getting old.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447127745074750674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-40907448572388442812010-02-24T13:49:16.942-08:002010-02-24T13:49:16.942-08:00@ Blue Kae - As much as I discount the 3D, this is...@ Blue Kae - As much as I discount the 3D, this is a big screen movie. I'd offer to babysit if I knew where in the world you are. :)<br /><br />@ Yeebo - Rereading my post, it does come across as a little too negative, especially for a film I enjoyed that much. I can't think of a James Cameron film that I haven't enjoyed. He's the director Michael Bay would be if he had any talent for telling a story. (Actually, I looked up IMDB and that's true. I like all of his movies that I've seen.)Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-50159682004238928522010-02-24T11:13:00.706-08:002010-02-24T11:13:00.706-08:00Sure, Dances with Wolves, Princess Mononoki, and s...Sure, Dances with Wolves, Princess Mononoki, and several other movies have already done similar stories better. But that didn't keep me from being thoroughly entertained. I mean, every action move has pretty much the same plot, but I like those. <br /><br />It's a James Cameroon movie, not David Lynch or Felini...what was anyone expecting? I got what I expected and then some. It's been a long time since I've gotten sucked so hard into the setting that a movie was trying to create. <br /><br />And really, that is what JC has always done best, he creates compelling settings. How entertaining would Titanic have been if it was set in a modern midwestern town? <br /><br /><br />@Blue Kae: I thought the 3D enhanced my experience a lot. It's the first movies that I personally thought made really good use of it. It conveyed the physical scale of the environments really well. However, if you have a nice enough home theater set up, I'm sure it would still be visually spectacular.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-38818593266835791502010-02-22T17:50:45.795-08:002010-02-22T17:50:45.795-08:00I haven't seen it yet and probably won't u...I haven't seen it yet and probably won't until it comes out on DVD. Movies are too difficult to make time for now that there has to be a babysitter in the loop. Glad to hear you didn't think the 3D was that big of a deal, so I'll just wait for Netflix to send it to me.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.com
