No reason to be bothered. But i think that if a scale exist that measures how much a movie benefits from being seen on a big screen with the right projection technology, the avatar movies have to be on the extreme end of benefiting a lot. Because imo they are maybe the only big blockbuster movie that is specifically made for the 3D technology, rather than it just being bolted on. This goes especially for the first one, when you compare it to other movies of that era.
I can definitely see how it is non-immersive when watched at home, because the the narrative is nothing to write home about. But to me the story more or less just serves as a non-offensive background to the visual spectacle.
And while the progress of TVs has closed the quality gap between home theaters and cinema, it really hasn’t done anything for the 3D aspect. On that note i do wonder how avatar 1 and 2 look when using a VR headset.
Exactly. For me it was a nice action flick, nothing more (I quite like the wolf-dancing theme though), but also a technological revolution. I would compare it to my beloved Jurassic Park - simple action plot, perfect execution with revolutionary effects.

I appreciate your reasonable response. I feel I have not matched your energy.
