Neodym said: got a little bit last samurai style. but i have to say it has been a long time since i watched a movie with such an potential. Well the whole "foreign soldier sent to destroy a culture but instead becomes engrossed in the culture" plot is pretty dated and nothing new. Dances with Wolves, Ferngully, and Pocahontas, The Last Samurai, and Avatar are all movies with that cookie cutter plot. But that's not why you're watching Avatar, thats not what Cameron intended back in 1994 when the screenplay was first drafted. His goal is the same as always, stunning visuals and incredible characterization. And in those aspects he delivered, again. But this time around he managed to help the film industry reach new heights in terms of CG Imagery. What with him funding CGI technology for years with his Titanic funds and all just for this movie. |

| OH I FORGOT to express my opinions on Avatar. HNGGGGGGGG!! Loved it to bits. It had everything I could ever want in a movie! The graphics were outstanding, that whole world was breathtaking and I loooove the character's<3 Anyway I cried, laughed, pretty much felt almost every emotion and I want to see it again! It really impressed me, and the length didn't even bother me because I pretty much enjoyed every scene. The only thing I could say bad, would be the story was predictable and such but I mean everything else made up for it and made the movie fantastic anyway. I liked that everything happened the way it did. I really can't get over how PRETTY AND GORGEOUS IT WAS. GOODNESS! BUT CHYEA, LOVED IT 10/10. Oh, and I watched it in 3D and loved the effect too. I really like that style, gave it a lot more depth and it wasn't the 'IN YOUR FACE' type so I hope that's used more, it was just beautiful! |

"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| I saw this movie today and it was oustanding! The movie I've seen in a very long while. Sure it don't have the most original story, but the movie made me care more about the characters, environment and action rather than a story. I hope there will be a sequel, perhaps which will include some blue baby aliens. |
| It's well on it's way to making a profit, so therefore profit = sequel. Cameron said so himself in interviews. The only question is when will it be released, but seeing as no script has been written, I'd say in three years time minimum. This is going to be Cameron's Star Wars basically, he's going to do the whole 'expanded universe' thing and everything. Expect lots of blue girls next Halloween. |

| HALLOWEEN! I jokingly said I wanted to paint myself blue and etc, rofl & actually it wasn't that hard to cry under the glasses except the occasional wipe away moved the screen. I hope that in the future glasses won't be needed for 3D movies, and it can be a pill we take or already some kind of aroma in the room that will affect our eyes! :D |

Jigero said: Looks like another multi million dollar flop to me, I think the blue people look comical at best and there is suppose to be some kinda love story going on, With these characters trying to be serious it's probably gonna look stupid. And when ever Cameron talks about it, I really just go, yea I could care fucking less. But the mechs are sweet how can you hate on them. ------------------------------------ And really I thought it was a bad ass movie? Why are there so many people ripping on it. |
| My Nuts Jumble. |
Jigero said: Looks like another multi million dollar flop to me Yeaaah, that kinda didn't happen. $232,180,000 after four days, and it hasn't even opened in countries like Japan, Germany, etc. You just cant doubt Cameron man, he always rakes the money in his whole career. Kittenia said: I hope that in the future glasses won't be needed for 3D movies, and it can be a pill we take or already some kind of aroma in the room that will affect our eyes! :D Ok, that sounds like a drug den Kitten, you're worrying me. You'd have to be committed to become full Avatard on Halloween or conventions, all that blue paint...tails... |

| I saw Avatar today and loved it. I also saw it for free since the theater ran out of 3D glasses... Meaning that they got me first in line for the next showing with a full refund of my ticket. :D The 3D was great, though a little awkward because I had to wear 3D glasses over my prescription glasses, but that didn't detour much from my overall enjoyment of the film. 10/10 |

I had to wear glasses on glasses too, pretty weird man. It's a glorious movie though, even if my nose did get kinda itchy on both occasions. |

| I just saw it today, and loved it ... although, I have to say, James Cameron was a bit heavy handed on the tree hugging message. But other then that ... I loved it. also did anyone noticed that the Na'vi had african accents? |

| i just saw it........and it was awesome way to go james.. i salute you XD this movie is in a different "league" |
JH said: also did anyone noticed that the Na'vi had african accents? The Na'vi were just a mishmash of every culture that's been colonised I guess. You had Africa, native American, Aussie Aboriginal, etc. The actors playing the roles were African Americans and also awesome actors like: Wes Studi. So yeah, very clichéd and meant for us to relate to. District 9 proves you don't have to physically relate to aliens for the movie to be compelling. Shit, E.T. proved it years ago and he's the ugliest alien of them all. |

Hell! you can say that again! As for the Na'vi being a mishmash ... I didn't get that .... oh well. I had my christmas treat for the year. I'll just have to wait until it comes back at the dollar theater or on DVD because seriously at $15.00 a pop, and then theaters fucking you with outrageous prices at the popcorn stands ... I don't think I will be back at that price! It's not you, Mr. Cameron. You were wonderful ... it's the recession! v.v |

| I actually know a few people on a friend level who helped animate the movie. I intend to see it asap. Few of my bros from Full Sail Universtiy swear by it, obviously as they worked on it. |
  |
| Meh, it was a good watch but a long one. The cinema's airconditioning almost put me to sleep if not for the loud sounds of "BAM!-ng" from the movie. Although, to be honest, I expected more. |
 |
| Just saw it. Not impressed, the plot was meh, the CGI was good, sure, but after the fifty millionth "running though undergrowth" I got a bit over it. And I'm a mech fan, so I normally have a very long willing suspension of disbelief, but I just didn't buy this movie. Unobtainium? Seriously? (that's not the big thing that broke disbelief, rather it was a lot of little things, but I can't be bothered writing them all) |
| saw this movie last friday. It was a beautiful sight to behold. I didn't care so much for the story since it was predictable... |
| [insert lulz signature here] |
| It was pretty but i set my expectations too high to fully enjoy it. |
 |
| Haven't watched it. |
| I saw Avatar yesterday morning (10:30 A.M.) with my friend and his little brother. We all enjoyed the movie very much, and thought it was kick ass awesome :). NOTE: We saw the normal 2-D w/e version, not the Real 3-D or Imax 3-D version. |

| I saw the Real 3-D movie the other day and i was very impressed with it. Thought this movie was amazing. I went to see the movie just for the visuals and action and got blown away with a compelling story and some very good characters. The plot may have had it's own cliche's in it and may have been predictable but it was overall a really good and engaging one at that. The thing that impressed me most about this film(Outside it's amazing visuals) was the fact that it kept me into the entire movie despite being three hours long. |
| Awesome movie but I haven't watched it in 3D yet tough. |

| Ok, lets get some SPOILER TALK ALL UP IN THIS THREAD. What were your favourite moments? |

| I really liked it. Pandora is awesome! |
 |
| Saw the movie last night in regular 3D. The plot was pretty lolzcopter, but there were some pretty badass moments. |

ukonkivi said: I can't take the blue people seriously~. Actually, everything that can be imagined already exists.. even if this is just a parallel reality, or bunch of them. :) And, wans one of the best ones from the many movies that I have seen. (as a consciousness changing stuff category). But even more lucky are those that can see it on IMAX 3D screens :D |
 |
| I'm going to see it this week. Seems nice ;d I saw trailer and I already like it ! <3 |
| Well actually I waited for this movie.. and the first day it came of.. I was planing on watching it at the very evening... and even at such time that as it is length of three hours, it would be ending a half an hour after the midnight... and the other day were my exam... and I was thinking what to do.. anyways I gave my ticket to father so he would watch it, and felt not myself.. that I weren't there to watch it. And anyway, the very next day - I saw it after the exam :D hehe So by that I mean - I can't much understand ppl who are saying like "oh I will watch it this week".. come on... I would go there watch it as soon as I can :DDD |

Beatnik said: This might actually end up as the most useless thread in the whole site. Yup, most likely.. To be honest, Avatar can only be enjoyed to the maximum if you watch it in 3D at IMAX... |

I tried starting a discussion on the previous page but people are just going "yeah, I saw it here" or "no, I'm not gonna see it" or "i'm gonna see it next week!" MEH. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Yeah! Talk about how amazing it was! And how much you ADORED IT KSFG';LLKD!! Oh, and rumor or so has it that there is a plan on sequels? I think if the same quality and attention that Avatar got is also put into any kind of sequel, it would be equally as amazing! I wouldn't mind at all, because I miss Pandora already. |
|
| Kitten to the rescue. Cameron said he's got ideas for a trilogy, and considering they've already animated so much, they'll have less work to do for sequels. I reealllly hope we get some. He also said we might explore other moons in that system, so that would be really cool too. Maybe the two moons can battle each other and we can get some space battles. What was your favourite moment of the film, Kitten? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| OHH! So that's how it works, I thought maybe we would have to wait a few more years for a sequel since this one took so long! That makes a lot of sense, but that's really good news! I hope they do make a lot of money, and so far reviews seem just about right! My favorite, I think was definitely any part in Pandora. Like : What was yours beat of Nick!? |

"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| You know what, And the CGI was outstanding of course! I really want to re-watch it soon! |
