AVATAR Thread

[Accord Euro-R]

So I am wondering who else has seen Avatar?  I saw it yesterday in IMAX 3D and was completely blown away.  Yes it was a story that has been done time and again, but the imagery and direction took it to a completely different level.  I would highly recommend going to see it, it is well worth the $10 for IMAX 3D.  Anyone else care to offer comments?

I went to go see it in the 3d as well and thought it was way to long. It was ok but there really wasnt that much good 3D.

IMAX is only $10 for you.. I'm jealous..  I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to see it soon.

i am here in rotterdam and i just saw it... i have to agree that movie was long. i was seriously waiting for the damn screen to go blank and the credits to role up saying hey fuckers come see the rest of the movie next year..... all in all i really liked it. i didnt waste my money seeing it.

I agree Shawn....def not a waste of money.  I will prob be seeing it again!  Although my favorite quote from one of the movie reviews:

Only James Cameron could find a way to make a 10 foot tall, blue alien look attractive.

Although it has also been noted that James Cameron has 2 more movies planned, making Avatar a trilogy.  He said he was looking to make the "Star Wars" of the new millennium.

looks kickass, but can someone explain the storyline?

Cliffs Notes of Storyline:

Dude takes bothers place in army-type corporation
Controls "native" body using own mind
Sent to infiltrate native species for intel
While learning native customs, falls in love with native girl
Army attacks natives
Dude takes lead of natives and leads fight against army to save the girl he loves and the civilization he has come to love

Story has been done time and time again, but somehow this movie has a way of making it completely and udderly kick ass!

I saw it over the weekend.  Stayed up and watched the 1:30am showing..  Definitely worth the money, definitely worth staying up for..

i seen most of it. didnt see final part after they were gona fight back.

very intresting movie. when they were flying on those things or riding "horse" it reminded me of driving a car or flying a jet, you put key in and tell it where to go lol

Seems to be a new age Star Wars. Unfortunately I'll have to try and see it by myself or with some friends cuz Ash doesn't get down with Scifi.
