All the random people I've talked to about Avatar were like, meh ok but I wish I spent my >$20 on something else. I got a far more positive reception for Star Trek from my non-geek friends.
The self-fulfilling prophecy of Avatar's own media hype seems to be the only thing driving ticket sales in my area. Word of mouth certainly isn't.
> $20? Wow, that's a lot. The Imax 3d showing up here was $12.50.
And hence why people in my area are not going back for repeat viewings. They aren't impressed enough to spend that money twice. My friends and I certainly weren't.
Maybe you'd like it better if you moved.
