I saw Avatar in 3D IMAX a few days ago at the Boeing IMAX theater at Pacific Science Center. I had previously seen the movie in 2D and wanted to see how such a beautiful movie would appear in 3D.
I have to say, I was disappointed. I don't know the cinematic words for this, but the parts of the scene that would be out-of-focus (say vegetation that was far away) seemed very strange in the 3D format.
I don't know if the projection was from film or digital either, but I don't think the clarity was as high in 3D IMAX either.
If another film comes out and I have a 2D vs 3D choice like that I think I'll choose 2D.
HOWEVER, THE SOUND! The IMAX sound was absolutely awe inspiring. I can't say how good it was because I don't know how to describe it. While you might think that 3D puts you in the scene -- not in this case. It was totally the sound. Just stellar.
