Well, tonight I finally took the plunge and saw a movie in 3D. Ok, I've seen 3D movies at Disney World and a few other places, but this was my first full length feature in 3D. I had heard that "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" was even better than "Avatar" in 3D, but I can't say for sure because I am still boycotting "Avatar".
First off, the movie. "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" was actually a really good movie. I'd give it a solid 4 stars, and my son might tell you it's a 5 star movie. The story moves pretty fast, and centers around young Soren, a barn owl who escapes captivity and searches out the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole to stop the evil owls who captured him in the first place. Along the way, Soren grows up and becomes the kind of owl he always dreamt about being. There are a couple of comic relief owls inserted as well, so it made for a good movie.
The 3D was really cool. It was like looking through a window, rather than having random things fly out at you. I eventually forgot I was wearing the glasses and just enjoyed the show. I'm not sure I'd like to see everything in 3D, but it really worked for this movie. Two thumbs up for the 3D.
I'm not sure how much longer the 3D theaters will be showing "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole", as our theater only has 2 showings left, but if you get a chance and you don't mind forking out the extra money, it's worth seeing this one in a 3D theater.

Okay... I completely missed why you are boycotting Avatar... would love to hear about that some time! :)
Guess I need to write a blog on that. I'm really tired of movie producers making movies where either the US or the entire human race is the bad guy. I've heard from several sources that Avatar is just a remake of Dance With Wolves, but with blue Native Americans, and I really didn't mind Dances With Wolves, but I just decided to say enough is enough with Avatar. Plus, I'm not a James Cameron fan.
