There are some flying sequences which could cause some vertigo. There are amusement park rides that are essentially a stationary ride which provide roll, pitch, and yaw movements while watching a big screen to give the appearance of movement. But Avatar is not like that.<br /><br />I will put it this way, I do not like "thrill" rides myself, roller coasters and the like. I had no problem with the 3D glasses, I wore them on top of my regular glasses (which I recommend if you wear glasses). <br /><br />However, in the theater were I saw Avatar, you had the choice of seeing it in 3d or standard projection. If you are concerned, see the standard projection. It is still a visually stunning film without the 3D.Robert the Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863488312604865183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-34591584416830345412010-01-15T05:06:24.687-08:002010-01-15T05:06:24.687-08:00Hi Robert, I thought I would let you know that the...Hi Robert, I thought I would let you know that the SAM comment is mine. I accidentally signed in with another account. So yes, the glasses would make me dizzy. Have you heard that before?

I know I get "dizzy" and would therefore see it in 2-D. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for pushing me to see it. P.S. I loved, "It's Complicated."SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821222108290468085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-49807856367246634082010-01-13T17:53:43.673-08:002010-01-13T17:53:43.673-08:00Kara Gives you a "Pain in the Gulliver" ...<b>Kara</b> Gives you a "Pain in the Gulliver" does it? <br /><br /><b>Mary</b> I expected a Disneyesque production myself.

I didn't want to be grouped with those people.<br /><br />I think the plot was a bit shallow and full of nothingness at points, but there's no doubting it was an artistically beautiful and very interesting film!Rachel Noyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117677609815658011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-55135619930659309712010-01-12T22:10:45.139-08:002010-01-12T22:10:45.139-08:00Well, you've just about sold me!

My kids say I should give it a chance -- that it's really pretty good. <br /><br />I surprised myself recently by seeing 'The Last Samurai' and not hating it to bits. I'm really picky about any film involving Japanese/the Japanese, but this one was a lot better than I'd imagined.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041339749785242409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-52388797122383455302010-01-12T19:02:48.998-08:002010-01-12T19:02:48.998-08:00NOOOOOOO! not you too dad!
