Last night, Tasha and I joined the Waltons for a movie double-header where we saw Avatar and Sherlock Holmes. I’m not even sure if I can adequately formulate in words how amazing the visuals were for Avatar. The plot has been described as very much the same as Pocahontas or Dances With Wolves, which I agree with to some extent but the level of immersion into the world portrayed in the movie was the most impressive thing aside from the computer graphics. The characters were a little predictable, but they were at least well-acted. We were lucky enough to see this one at the 3D IMAX, which made the experience even greater as I had not seen a 3D movie before this one (which made this even more amazing!)
Later in the evening we saw Sherlock Holmes, which was better than I expected. It was a little drier than I expected but that was good… I was afraid that the film was going to be too schtick-laden based on what was shown in the trailers. The movie made me want to go read the short stories and novels again, which is a good thing.
Hopefully we’ll get to do this more often, it was a fun night with two very cool movies!
