Avatar – IMAX 3D – Sexy As…

Sexy as, nah, not the movie, me with the glasses:

Avatar - IMAX 3D 'glasses'

Those are the dishwashable (they were wet when we picked them up), reusable, linearly polarised IMAX 3D ‘glasses’ the gave us. Distorted thin plastic wobbly lenses. This is not a good start to the experience… Had we gone to a smaller theater then we’d’ve been issued the more robust RealD 3D glasses – they use circular polarisation, and as digital camera buffs know the circular polarisers are more expensive, so for those lenses they went to the effort of spending a few more cents on better frames.

Anywho, movie was entertaining enough. Took a good 30 minutes or so to adapt to the viewing experience (the glasses, the not tilting had thing, shallow depth-of-field that was used and the general 3Dness). Then several times during the movie one of the cameras glitched for 1-2 seconds so the view from one eye went back, it’s more distracting than you’d expect. But overall, pretty cool.

Didn’t really get a lot of other photos over the weekend. Did spend a bit of time messing around on the balcony at night to get this one though:
