I have no idea how far I would have to travel to find a 3-D theatre in these parts...

Each word refers to two different types. <br /><br />Of course that could just be actor-bias.

Well, never fear, the movie is still good enough to be seen without the IMAX 3-D hoopla. In fact, someone I know saw it in regular 2-D, and still loved it. So, enjoy it however you get to see it!<br /><br />P.S. Oh, I love the British spelling of "theater," too. But I'm an American creature of habit, I'm afraid.Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-38349264429957483102009-12-18T22:04:07.659-08:002009-12-18T22:04:07.659-08:00I'm so glad you wrote this post- I didn't ...I'm so glad you wrote this post- I didn't even know what the movie was about and we don't have Imax theatres in Alaska.

A...Oh, Becky, if you can, you should see it in 3-D! And as for the rating, well, I don't think it's an objectionable PG-13. I mean, the Na'vi are mostly naked, but they're also blue - and aliens. And although Jake (as a Na'vi) kisses his "mate," that's as much as we see. Of course, a battle ensues, ships blow up, Na'vi get shot, and arrows pierce the humans, but again, it's not a bloody film. Personally, I think your boys could handle it... but then, I'm not a mama. Unless you count my cat. :-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-66620088165849492582009-12-18T19:58:55.304-08:002009-12-18T19:58:55.304-08:00Cool!

You should be so proud of me for knowing that ;-). I'm tempted to take the boys, but it's PG-13 and they're 9 and 11. Can't figure out the rating system, but that's a whole different post. They watched Julie and Julia with us, and that was so tame. But then you have other movies that are PG, but should be PG-13. Go figure... I guess that's where the "PG" comes in...Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.com
