The CGI was very good and that part of it was fun. We saw it in 2D and I want to see it in 3D. The story was simple and unoriginal. I like fantasy and sci-fi myself so maybe I was expecting more than most people would. Visually, though, it was fun.Lynnhttp://www.lynnspace.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-2114909746940290362010-01-10T20:49:04.484-06:002010-01-10T20:49:04.484-06:00I have a day off on Friday and I have the same dil...I have a day off on Friday and I have the same dilemma. I think I will go see Sherlock Holmes first and see how much time I have left for Avatar. The theater near me has two variations, 3D and 3D with IMAX.....I will barf if I see it in IMAX. 3D I can handle, I think, but I think I'd rather see it just as a plain ol' flick if it's possible. sigh.....<br />I look forward to seeing which you choose.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581178162502696838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-76160527216736006712010-01-10T16:15:55.132-06:002010-01-10T16:15:55.132-06:00Sherlock by far!Sherlock by far!Its Just Me - Daring to Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889187540957479496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-11986185925333600322010-01-10T15:29:34.058-06:002010-01-10T15:29:34.058-06:00My vote is Sherlock Holmes!

We LOVED it! <br /><br />Having said that (and I'm the only one, mind you) I did get motion sickness. I'm prone to it. I think the edges weren't cut off for us because we saw it at the IMAX. I don't know what it would be like at a regular theatre. However, that 3D experience is truly something new. I've seen 3D many, many years ago but this is into a whole 'nother dimension. Wow! <br /><br />Buuuut... yes, I did get motion sickness for a while and then it went away after I took my glasses off for a while. It is a 2.5 hour movie. <br /><br />Then I again, I've heard that Sherlock is excellent, too.<br /><br />But I really loved Avatar!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-88881716370147590382010-01-10T11:26:49.157-06:002010-01-10T11:26:49.157-06:00Saw Holmes and loved it.

He really wants to see it in 2D, so we're going to go back together. I get motion sick over the littlest car or bus rides, so I wasn't going to dare go see this in 3D. He said it was quite dark (as all 3D movies are, apparently), and the edges of some of the 3D things (tables/counters, for example) were cut off on the edge of the screen, ruining the 3D aspect. He's very excited about seeing it again and feels it will be better in 2D.<br /><br />Thank being said, we do want to see Sherlock Holmes, but it's a rent for us, not a go to. <br /><br />Let us know what you think of whichever you decide :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380937047826954640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-49965666093310380352010-01-10T05:44:34.018-06:002010-01-10T05:44:34.018-06:00My son saw Avatar and (knowing I can get motion si...My son saw Avatar and (knowing I can get motion sickness easily) told me not to waste my money, lol.

It was pretty cool how they filmed London and Robert Downey Jr is my total crush. My only complaint is that it was a little bit more of an action movie than I hoped. I'm a total girl and get bored with too much action. I was hoping for a bit more of the detective/mystery movie. <br />I haven't seen avatar and will probably get shot for saying this, but I have no desire to see it. I just can't do fantasy.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405487595346159775noreply@blogger.com
