Whenever I see that these movies are successful I’m always wondering who’s seeing them? Myself and a few friends all attend movies regularly and none of us even know anyone who saw the second one in theaters. Like I’m sure people are going, it’s just weird.

There’s a decent chunk of people that watch them solely for the bleeding edge CGI technology.

Others that like those kinds of stories. Nothing in the story is unique. Avatar, Pocahontas, Dances With Wolves, and numerous others are all fundamentally the same story told in different ways. There’s a reason these stories keep being told and people still like watching them.

This is me, I went along when invited by friends to see the graphics.

This one wasn’t worth it, there’s been no advancement since 2. And since most of the filming has been done for 4 and 5 already, I’m not expecting them to show any technology growth either.

I saw it in a Dolby theater rather than IMAX. I don’t think IMAX would have made enough difference to change my mind.
