No, still haven't.  The IMAX is fully booked every weekend and a lot of weekdays.  I'll have another look later.

Best special FX movie ever!

I've watched a couple of good action movies this week - District 13: Ultimatum and Ip Man.

Ip Man is MAYBE the best kung fu movie i've ever seen.

At the start I thought it was going to be just another "rival martial arts schools" movie, but it did get really good after that.

Finally saw Avatar 3D yesterday, bloody brilliant film! Although the 3D wasn't as amazing as everyone was making it out to be, I would have been quite happy just watching it in 2D. But then I guess I know I'm going to be ok when it comes out on DVD, heh. Actually some of the 3D in the trailers and adverts was better than in the film itself...hmmm...

Apart from that, bloody stonker of a film. Just a shame about his choice of song for the ending credits, I would have preferred a bit of soundtrack instead. Just because Celine Dion worked for Titanic, doesn't mean you should stick to that formula, sounded completely out of place.  :x

Some bloke at the cinema said the same about the 3D.. the adverts they showed before hand hardly had any 3D bits in them!

Apart from the great 3D and CGI it's a rubbish film though :P
