The first 3D movie I ever saw in the theater was a slasher movie too, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. So dumb to put the glasses on only at the end to watch those little snake things fly around in hell or whatever.

I can't wait to test out TFA's 3D on my home set up, all 3 of them.
It certainly wasn't the best 3D but the Falcon escape alone is worth the price of admission.
I'm just looking forward to enjoying the movie on my couch.
Hell yeah.
Apparently someone got a hold of next week's Best Buy ad which features a preorder for a Kylo Ren Steelbook edition:
I wonder if Disney is just keeping quiet to squeeze out another week of theater tickets before people decide to hold off and wait for the blu-ray.

Tonight is the last night TFA is playing at my local theater. I'm pretty excited - I'm going with my buddy and his daughter. She's 7 and has seen the other 6 chronologically and just watched ROTJ a couple of weeks ago.
For the record, my friend has a 2 year old son also - he's going to show him the movies 4-6, 1-3 when the time comes.
We'll see which kid turns out better.

I'm a sucker for Steelbooks, but I have a suspicion there are going to be lots of different special offers or this movie
Me and jye are waiting for the Target exclusive with the Rathtar on the cover and isolated score audio track so we can just soak in the awesome music while staring at the iconic creature for hours on end.
I actually didn't think the 3D conversion for TFA was all that great. 
The only shot where it had noticeable affect was the depth in the melted Vader mask.
2D for me.
s Especially after seeing how amazing the 70mm IMAX was.

Just as I suspected, this got harder, I'm guessing Target will have aRey Steelbook.

I've only seen it in fake IMAX 3D so far, and I loved when the Star Destroyer was sticking out of the screen, ahhhhhmazzzzing.
2D for me.
Well you sure aren't getting THAT at home.
I saw it in 3D liemax, 3D full IMAX (digitally projected on a 7 story screen,) and 2D 35mm. I definitely preferred the 3D. For the shots that were film in 35mm and then converted yeah the 3D was so so but there are a handful of sequences that were *so* spectacular in 3D (Falcon chase, Finalizer, Poe attacking the Oscillator, etc.) that there's no way I'm going to deny myself that option at home.
The 2D IMAX projected from 70mm film stock would have been nice but I thought driving three states to see it would have been excessive. But I certainly gave it more than a passing thought.

That was my first also and I was so pissed! I was young and dumb and thought my glasses were not working for the rest of the movie.

Not generally a fan of 3D conversions but I loved TFA 3D. It varied wildly depending on where I saw it. But it generally looked fantastic in places. That star destroyer shot was pretty amazing in the cinema. I also loved the CG flight/battle sequences and the depth in the Solo finale.

I saw TFA last night again (for the last time in the theater) making it 11 times. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts but it's so nice to have a Star Wars movie that I cannot wait to see again. I cannot wait to now own this on bluray. I have been listening to the score a lot and really do wish they would release a deluxe version with all the music as it was cut for the film. I could not help but notice how much was excised from the film.

You should search out the "for your consideration" release of the soundtrack, it as put together for the awards season and has a different track listing with sbout 20 minutes of extra music and variations of existing tracks.

Lol I just spit out my snapple!
Oh man that will so be the one I go with.
I think.
Hmmmm
That part was really amazing you are right about that!

You have a 3D TV Rory?
Nice!

Thank you! I will check it out. I got so used to listening to the score as on the album that it was almost jarring to hear new music in the film.
11 times. Nice, beat me by two. Isn't the "For Your Consideration" version like a hundred bucks or more on ebay?

BB-8 Walmart slipcase is nice but I'll be getting whichever cover comes with "3D" written somewhere on it and it looks like BB-8 is 2D only.

I don't believe the Walmart BB-8 cover is a Steelbook.
I saw TFA last Friday, which marked my 15th (and last) theatrical viewing. It sounded like a nice number to stop at.
