The Avatar after effect: depression and suicidal tendencies

"Avatar" is one of the most expensive movies ever made. This year's most eagerly awaited release cost $237 million to make and another $150 million to market.


One of its stars, Sigourney Weaver, described "Avatar" as "like 'Gone with the Wind' in space."

But what about the after effects? Some people are experiencing depression and nausea.




Moviegoers have reported blues, depression and even suicidal tendencies after watching the movie Avatar.

Fans are upset at not being able to visit Pandora, the make believe planet that is nirvana for the Na'vi, the blue native humanoids that habitat Pandora.

One anonymous critic claimed the ground-breaking 3D effects in "Avatar" are, I quote, "vomit inducing."

Theaters are not supplying barf bags that I know of. Still, this doesn’t sound like a movie to take your special date to if there is a chance you’ll be heaving in the isle.

Some moviegoers will not experience any bad side effects and will only worry about how long the crease on the bridge of their nose from the 3D glasses will last.
