Not yet, it's on the list!
So it's good then??!! Did you see it in a normal cinema in 3D or Imax?

I loved it...I saw it in a very large cinema in 3D and I can tell you, it just doesn't get better for image quality and sheer unbelievable scope...it's astonishing. Plus the story is very moving and you really just don't want it to be over. I really was not prepared for what i saw on that screen, and I'm a big sci-fi/fantasy fan from way back.

Do you need 3d glasses or how does the 3d work?

Yeah you need those glasses, but not the old red and blue ones: they are the clear type and the image in the film is frankly so far ahead of all other 3D you have ever seen, that you forget you are watching a movie with glasses and just feel like you are right there on the alien planet with the characters. I've never found myself wondering "how are they doing this?!" so often during any film ever...

Haven't seen it yet but the story reminds me a bit of Pocahontas for grown-ups tbh :D.

But I really want to go too :)

You son of a bitch! I came here to lust after cabs, not hear about some dances with wolves remake set in space with blue cats! J/k of course, but you really set us up for disappointment there.

it's more like a 50s western set in space, but with cg smurfs instead of injuns...

I don't really have any desire to see that movie, but I may go as an experiment to see if I can see 3D with those type of glasses.

I saw it at the midnight showing opening night in IMAX 3D imo the only way to see it. Best movie I've seen in a long time and I see alot of movies for many years.

I guess this makes me a nerd, but I just bought tickets again to see it in 3D one more time in the theater, considering that after that i will have to settle for just lowly blu-ray on a 1080p 47" philips.... :lol: Such a great film! :mrgreen:

If you ever complain about your TV setup, then by international law it will come to me. I'm watching movies on my 5 yr-old iMac 17" computer from 15-20 feet away. Haha. I have to squint for everything.
