With big expectations i made a topic about 2012, which turned into piece of crap...it would be unfair not to have topic about one of the truly most awesome movies around as well...so here we go

I saw this the other night in 3D and i thought the graphics were amazing... I really enjoyed it and i would like to see it again... I reckon before seeing the normal version, you must see it in 3D first. This movie did not disappoint me at all, However it did have a cliche story line but that didn't bother me one bit...

Pure cliché I wish that a larger part of the 400million spent were invested on the development of the plot... So little for the large smurfs...

2012 died in my eyes because of poor plot...but it wasnt Avatar's case...my "elvish" soul was fully satisfied...

anyway i am not interested in movies, where aggressive conquerors win and natives are slaughtered in the name of civilization...i want to see good triumphing the evil...i want - no, i demand - to see "fairy tales for adult" Avatar is respecting that and adding ultimate visual and sensual experience bonus

I also like fairy tales like this... And even though I can't consider myself a big fan of the big blue Pikachus I liked the landscapes, the simple story with its moral and well...the artistic value indeed was there...

At least James Cameron is great at filming action sequences. In the middle of the chaos, is possible to know excly whats happening and who is fighting with who. Thats pretty rare in the latest movies ive seen (masters of incompetence in this department : Lord of the rings and Transformers).

By the way, the final combat looks a lot like a technological Western ... But this time the director support shamelessly the Indians.

Yes...my brother also wanted that all Na'vi "die as heroes" instead of supernatural spiritual force helped them to win...

Hehe. I did not sympathize so much with the Na'vi to enjoy such a crushing victory .

Shit story, incredible visuals (at least technically, since I didn't care so much for the Navi design).

I totally don't regret dishing out the cash for the 3d IMAX version since it was a blast to watch all that shit blowing up in 3d.

nevertheless, were i to go to the normal version of this film, i'd be completely unsatisfied since the story is predictable and stupidly preachy, not to mention hypocritical.

Sorry Ellrohir... but this is excellent A whole synopsis.

Genius.

I really enjoyed the movie, although I think James Cameron did a better job on Aquaman (reference anyone?)

I never understood why the main chick had a tunnel in her ear. It was cool, but it didn't make much sense.

Also noted that at the end, in the van, she actually had two corpses to choose from. I'm glad she picked right.

Powerful though cliched storyline. Great graphics. For a while very Philip K Dickish, would have liked to see am ending consistant with that idea.

Copied lame story (from Pocahontas), forced message that couldn't have been more stupidly and ridiculously exposed, terrible dialogs and fights, all made possible thanks to great graphics, which is the only good thing about it.

That Avatar pic is probably the best I've ever seen

NO NO and hells of NO!!
1- they presented aliens as primitive, which is NOT!
2- same old story about the brutality of human
3- NOT CONVINCING!!!

the only good thing is the visual effects.

Yeah I know! That's two major wrongs in the movie: Aliens are all well-developed civilizations and the humans never commit brutalities.

watch Batman Begins all those movies' fighting scenes i find genius compared to that movie's... apart from the fight scenes Batman Begins is perfect. the fight scenes are so quick and confusing you can only guess who is winning.

saw Avatar, i think it was a good movie with a decent message, more artistic than your typical blockbuster, and i don't care much for special effects anymore. i expected a tragic "heroic" ending but instead i got proven wrong.

Fantastic fantastic film. Very Hayao Miyazaki... much like "Princess Mononoke" in the themes.
There is so much to analyse in the film. I only saw it once, but I look forward to whenever I see it again.

hello?? dont u agree that aliens are way inteligent than us??? or u dont believe in them in first place ;p ? just seeing them in the movie living like the cavemen and desperate is SOO provoking!!

Well, no - i dont agree Na'vis are "stupid"...

Me neither... I think the navitrolls are awesome because they are much wiser as they have managed to retained contact with the nature and are spiritually much more advanced and closer to the creator... that makes them very rich... Aliens don't have to build robots and cupola towns or sth to show they're "advanced"...

I actually haven't seen it yet, an I'm a Cameron fanboy. Wat.

As for those saying the storyline is "weak". James Cameron film plotlines usually are simple and straightforward. It's the exploration of themes and charactersation which he excels at. Upon first viewing you could say "Aliens" or indeed, Terminator 2 are 2+ hours of blowing stuff up, but both films are extremely layered, infinitely more than most huge films. I'm sure this isn't dissimilar.

Must see... Fffffuuu---

Sensual ? you sure ?

Just saw it yesterday, mindblowing graphics. Boring story. It is basically the same as all these new videogames that come out with pumped graphics and an empty core. Enjoyable though...

I hated that movie. The plot and character development should not be sacrificed to special effects and even the latter are overrated, IMO. I am quite annoyed that this film is reaping all the awards, it simply doesn't deserve them because all we have here is a kids' movie and nothing else. I didn't felt bored while watching it, though. The pace was pretty decent.

probably not...i meant word like "fulfilling your senses" or something like that...

Best movie this time to cheer me up.

I just saw in the U.S movies box that avatar had reached over than 595 million :S :S

"Domestic Total as of Feb. 9, 2010: $633,621,035." (BoxOfficeMojo.com)

It's grossed over two billion worldwide now too. Of course, it's in 3D and IMAX so the tickets were more expensive than usual which means there were less overall people than Cameron's last blockbuster. But I think it's reasonable to assume that the film was a success. Personally, I don't think it is Cameron's best, but definitely entertaining.

It sucked pretty much. If it weren't for the awesome effects I wouldn't have even seen it. Boring and predictable plot, we all knew how it was going to end after half a hour of movie. Also, it was too fucking long. A movie can be almost three hours long but not when it's fucking predictable. Disney did stories like this one many times and better.
