I'd so see that
That's just overloading with Awesome
I like what you did with my nick there...
Just saw Avatar for the first time last night and it was nothing short of spectacular!
Liked the story, sure there were similarities to Pocahontas/Dances With Wolves, but i have no problem with that.
I liked all the actors and their performances, and i was pleasantly surprised that Grace turned out to be one of the good guys, from first impressions when she met Jake she came of as kind of a bitch, but that changed completely later on.
(also, Sigourney Weaver is freaking hot as a 10 foot blue alien)
That Colonel Quatrich dude is fucking hardcore lol
And the guy playing him is 57(!) years old, god damn o.O
And then we have the visuals, my god the visuals, everything was so perfectly done with such detail that the only way i can describe them as would be 'eyegasm'-inducingly beautiful.
Awesome movie.

Finally saw Avatar in Imax 3d...
WOW. It was my first 3D movie and it blew me away. I was on vacation and we were @ Moody Gardens in Galveston Tx and it just happened to be a part of the day pass package we got
I downloaded Avatar recently. Sure, it was good, but it's nowhere near as good as everyone's making it out to be. Avatar is no better than any other CGI-filled summer blockbuster. I thought the characters were all pretty bland. By the end of the movie I didn't really care anymore which characters lived and which ones died.
The special effects were great, but that doesn't make a great movie.

You have to remember, the movie was never mean to be great in terms of storyline. Infact, everything about it was pretty standard. It was just meant to be a visual masterpiece, what with the new technology and all, and in that it succeeded.
It succeeded very well in terms of graphics--that much is a given. However, I agree that it didn't deserve all of the hype it received as all of the other aspects to the film took a back seat and were either average or even sub par *coughdialoguecough*
Anyway, it was nice to look at, but it's a shame that big budget movies now a days are only really being made for the purdy pichurs.
it was leaps and bounds ahead of best picture of the year " The Hurt Locker ", in every possible way.
Yeah sure, but then you woke up, special effects are supposed to be a complement to the movie not the main (and only) attraction.
I guess the problem i have with this movie is a personal one, the movie was amazingly hyped, knowing absolutely nothing about it, i went to the movie expecting something with a storyline that will blow me away since a movie story is everything to me... and then they showed me Pocahontas in 3D.
The "world" of Pandora was a personal disappointment for me, the "imaginative" world consist of monkeys... with 4 arms, horses... with 6 leg, a panther... thats really big, a jellyfish... that floats on air instead of water, etc(and let`s not get into the flying rocks with waterfall coming from nowhere). To be honest my 4 year old cousin can come with a world just like Pandora, nothing special about it.
But to give credit where credit is due, the actors were fantastic, Neyitri for example read her lines with such passion that it was inspiring, shame the script still sucked (lol Jake is the chosen one?)
Ok i`m done with my rant.

I am one of the viewers who didnt know much going in. But I would say I enjoyed the visuals, and the immersive environment.(i wasnt watching the 3d version) but still I like it.
Storyline, outsider trying to colonise the aborigines, yeah this is very common story, however, the novel idea of a super connected nerve system, that is fucking amazing.
I like it.
Three sequels currently being planned, and they'll be filmed consecutively.

Hot damn. Gonna quote this blast from the past and cosign it. Yeah guys Avatar isn't as good as John Carter. You know, the movie that supposedly was one of the worst of all time? It was a very competent execution of the formula, which is more than I can say for Avatar's wooden, dead script and unlikeable, idiot protagonist.
Here's what I don't get. Why is Sigourney Weaver going to be in the next three Avatar movies? Her character is fucking dead (spoiler: you just read an Avatar spoiler) and even if she got absorbed by the life tree, what is her role going to be exactly? Weird voiceovers near the end of the 2nd act of each movie? Possessing random catpeople so they start acting like Ripley from Alien? Opening monologues like she is the female Morgan Freeman?
