I have'nt seen the movie yet, but I was just wondering if any of the avatars have OSA, and if so, do they get their therapy via bluetooth instead of the infernal hose and mask

You MUST see the movie in 3D.

I would love to. But I don't see out of two eyes, so I would not get anything out of it. At least in a normal theater.

But I am considering going to the IMax theater. Though I would not sense the depth, the screen is so large it would put me in the middle of it. It would feel very immersive.

The funny thing is that there is so much action / detail, it overwhelms my brain. I literally had problems walking after that movie. But it was so good I want to see it again in the IMax theater. And see it again even though I know I will be a mess for a couple days after that.

Yes, I'm a Sci Fi geek. I know it!

I agree, IMAX 3D if you can. I've never sat so still without getting bored for a 3 hour movie in my life

Sounds like I'm not the only one that had trouble walking after the movie. Awesome moving btw.

Personally, I think their hoses who be attached to the "white mother tree" (whatever its called) since it was their life source.
There would be no need for machine settings since it would already know their history sort of speak. Not only theirs but generations.
But then again, it was a "healing tree" so the theory of OSA goes out the door because OSA would non-existent. Everyone would be healed of OSA

Imagine a world where:
- People never walk around like walking zombies
- No one has brain fog
- No fear going to sleep at night because you were confident you would get the needed rest (What I would give to know this!)
- You'd wake up every morning with a smile and a pep in your step because you knew you were well rested and ready to take on the day's challenges
- You wouldn't be "wearing your mask to work" because of the mask markings from the night before (Again, what I would give to know this!)
Oh my goodness, my brain is going wild thinking along this vein! It's much too late at night to be thinking like this.

Starlette's opinion
