"Avatar" will supposedly change the way we view 3-D cinema. It is also supposed to be just a good movie in general. But how long are you willing to sit and watch a 3-D movie with those ridiculous glasses on your face?
SlashFilm reports that they talked with producer Jon Landau at E3 and got confirmation that "Avatar" is at least two and a half hours long, maybe even three, depending on how Cameron cuts it together in the end.
Landau said that "Avatar" was "definitely over two and a half hours." That kind of running time isn't really a shocker for a Cameron feature. "Aliens" ran 2 hours, 17 minutes (plus an extra 17 mins for the special edition); "The Abyss" ran 2 hours, 18 minutes (plus an extra 33 mins for the special edition); "Terminator 2" ran 2 hours, 17 minutes (plus an extra 17 mins for the special edition); True Lies ran 2 hours, 21 minutes; and "Titanic" ran 3 hours, 14 minutes. So 3 hours plus seems quite possible.

Not only are there issues with IMAX, since a platter can only hold up to 160 minutes, but I get the feeling not everyone would be able to sit through a three hour, 3-D movie. I know I would just because the hype for this film is insane.
Will you be able to watch nearly three hours of "Avatar" in 3-D?
