my local AMC has showings as early as 8am and late as 10:45, and even they have decent tickets sold already. Any normal time is virtually sold out for a premium theater. Gonna be a big opening weekend.

I just dont see the point. It looks like the same story as the first. At least the first was fun in regards to the SFX and such. The story was cliche and has been done before by so many, but it was still a fun movie(still too long). But to pay just to see the same thing again? Why.

I would have passed on this completely but my boss and his wife are really excited to see it, and ever since I got a bunch of coworkers and their significant others together to see the first Avatar we have kind of made a habit of seeing movies as a group once in awhile (with work paying for tickets plus dinner and drinks beforehand), so I'm not going to bow out just because I think the movie will be shit. I'm usually the one that organizes the purchases too, so he asked me to buy tickets, so I'm doubly expected. Not surprisingly, a few people asked me why I never set anything up for Black Panther 2 
Hey, if someone had really wanted to see it I would have asked around, and likely gone as well, but at least I dodged that bullet. A couple didn't ask because they already know the answer (that I'm racist, obviously!). So, Thursday night IMAX for me I guess. At least I can get hammered beforehand, and be sober by the time it is over.

3-D And Headaches: Why 'Avatar' Made Me Sick
Reports of people suffering nausea, dizziness, eye fatigue and other visual discomforts have grown alongside the use of 3-D technology. A new study exploring how viewing distance and screen size affect symptoms suggests that as mobile devices go 3-D, it could mean more headaches to come.

Entirety of FoH and $3 billion in box office revenue: say what you want about the story but the visuals were amazing.3-D And Headaches: Why 'Avatar' Made Me Sick

Astro: I can't handle it and my brain hurt. Look at this super comprehensive study with a sample size of 24 people so you know it's a really wide spread problem and not incredibly anecdotal. I'm too old to live and I wish I had my old black and white TV.
I've no doubt there's a tiny portion of people that can't handle it just like with almost anything in life but... You're you.

3D TV is never going be a hit on the market, so while it's nice that Cameron can use the tech properly it still comes down to how well it looks 2D for the masses and if the story is an improvement over the original. 10/10 and 6/10 isn't going to 2B the box office.
How low would you rate the stories for TLJ and whatever Ep9 was called? That was a bigger franchise yet still lower returns so if you don't deliver something other than CGI there is a cap.

Avatar 3D headaches: Look at this! Don't look at this! | Scanners | Roger Ebert
The eyestrain I got from watching James Cameron's "Avatar" reminded me why I think so-called "3D" cinema is still a cheap-looking gimmick that hasn't improved since the View Master was introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Upon returning home from the movie I wrote: [Each] layer looks...
