It's a picture from a spoof clip on Youtube. I repeat, the man in the picture is making fun of the idiots who think Avatar is real. Quite a funny clip, if you have seen the movie.

or at least some 3D that wasn't just 2D images arranged in depth. headache much?]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/
Yeah, was I the only one whose head nearly exploded watching that? I had no problem watching Monsters vs Aliens at an IMAX theater in 3D, but Avatar was effed UP! Every time there was CGI mixed with stuff in real life, like when there were display screens in the background or trees outside a helicopter, the CGI elements popped out in front of elements that they were supposed to be behind.

There were a few (low-contrast and wholly CGI) scenes where the whole effect worked right, but for most of the film it was completely screwy. I sat through the whole thing, but then asked for (and received) a refund. Seriously, I nearly fell over when I stood up.]]>Feb 18th 2010 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/must have been the cinema setup, your glasses or your eyes . I saw this and it reminded me of the wonder of when I saw the empire strikes back at the cinema many many years back.
It was groundbreaking for 3D cinema, nothing before touched this. My only worry is what will this look like in 2D. Will it still be a great film? ]]>Feb 19th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/
no number of extra dimensions of presentation could make this "a great film". if any dimensions are to be added, i'd like at least one to the narrative and/or characters, please. i think the question here is "will it still be a PRETTY film". and who knows. i, personally, think so because as you said, films like The Empire Strikes Back were absolutely gorgeous, even in 2D.

and let's not forget ANYTHING filmed in Technicolor.]]>Feb 19th 2010 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/
Well, someone in the theater said something about having had to leave the previous day because the projector wasn't working, and so I thought maybe it was the projector, but then I have to ask myself why nobody else in the theater was asking for a refund.

I read that RealD displays the images alternating at 144fps, switching the polarizing filter for each frame, while I believe that the IMAX theater I went to had two projectors (or a projector that put out both images simultaneously). That worries me, because I really want to like 3D technology, but I'm wondering how my eyes are going to do with a 120Hz screen and shutter glasses. I don't understand why the local 3D effect would have worked (i.e. a person's face was properly rendered with the nose in front of the ears) but then the global image failed horribly.]]>Feb 19th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/Feb 18th 2010 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/Feb 18th 2010 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/
2010: The Year We Make Contact is also a fantastic film.

The fact that these two films still set the standard for beauty (and I do mean BEAUTY) in sci-fi/ space film is astounding. Top that off with an ACTUAL plot and complex philosophical message, and I think I that Cameron has nothing to do but cry in a corner. ]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/james-cameron-sees-avatar-on-blu-ray-3d-in-november-hdtv-manufa/I just can't wait for "The Abyss". I saw it once when I was young and remember being impressed. I want to see it again, in High Def.

Sadly, I looked recently and saw no plans for release. If we're lucky, Avatar will spur more James Cameron to be released on Blu Ray.
