Avatar (the movie)

The Guy and I were deciding between this movie and Invictus last night. We ended up seeing Invictus instead (and enjoyed it very much), but now we might have to go see this one too.

 

Jame Cameroon's best movie so far although titanic was also awesome..

 

My eyes don't work in sinc so 3D doesn't work for me

I think I know the plot though it's just dances with wolves but with smurf people :-D

 

My eyes have the same problem, so for me 3D is a waste of money.

Whoa there. Dances with wolves was horrible.

No way. Not if it's even remotely like Dances with wolves or Titanic! uke

The first two Terminator movies, Alien and Aliens, now that would be way better movies to copy-cat with CGI than lame love stories surrounded by horrendously expensive scenery and special effects.

 

LauraR ! You find Avatars animated figures sexy ? :confused
Don't be so stupid, give me Marge Simpson anyday :-D !

 

I'd LOVE to see Avatar & will at some point. I've only seen one review though, expecting it to be as successful as Titanic........ Not the movie, the ship....

 

Interesting movie...what struck me was the similarities of the Na'vi to the Balinese type of spiritual affinity with Mother Nature - highly evident with the Balinese style Kecak Dance for trance inducing and ceremonies. Jake Sully's sojournes as a Na'vi reminded me of "Flatliners". It certainly was a remarkable film and most enjoyable.

 

An awesome movie that truly had me riveted from start to finish, with breathtaking C.G.I. and non-stop action. A must see for those that haven't seen it, and a must see again for those that have.

Re: L.S.:- Firstly, great to see your posts again, and yeah, there was somewhat of a similarity to 'Balinese in Space', so to speak.

 

It's really a rehash of Pocahontas! :-D

Is this 3-D with the goofy colored plastic glassed?

 

Well your husband now knows what to get your for valentines day.

A pot of blue paint.

:-D

 

The reason the 3D, for those of us with real eyes ;P, was so awesome is that it wasnt just a gimmick like most movies. It actually helped to draw you into the world. I actually think the glasses needed to be wider since i could still see out of the sides a bit and occasionally id catch the "real world" out of the peripheral vision. Not enough to ruin it but at first it was a bit of a distraction. Sort of like being on the spider man ride at universal and having someone tall sit in front of you, just not quite "right". (youd have had to experience the universal spider man ride to understand).

I thought the movie itself was action packed and kept me interested even with the girlie love story angle

 

That's a little unfair I've had one operation on them but they still won't work together

 

My eyes are a perfect 20/20 and I'm almost 40. Yet I also cannot stand IMAX 3D. I took off those things ( I had to... otherwise, uke ) after about 10 minutes at the one and only movie I saw in IMAX --- The Polar Express. I also cannot see those magic eye pictures that were popular 10 years ago or so unless I cross my eyes. (Then I see a reverse image :confused)

Some things are not meant to be enjoyed by all, I guess...

 

No me either I've never seen one of those pictures they drove me nuts when they first came out.

 

Saw 2D Avatar a week or so ago, loved it. Will but it on BluRay, especially if it's in 3d there as well.

 

:-DSpock?There's an interesting valentines day,maybe not exciting but definitely logical...

 

I think.... that Blockbuster had them for $1 with My Bloody Valentine...

 

Like this?:

 

Be afraid!...Be very...:eek

The primitive Smurfs are jealous! LOL

 

Whooooaaaa ! :eek What was that Phantom ! LOL

 

Giant Smurf clone is angry! Giant Smurf squish puny human pedestrians like insects for daring to prefer the tall, skinny smurfs! :-D

 

after around 50 people telling me how awesome this movie was, i went and saw it in 3D.

it was probably one of the best movies i've ever seen, next to lotr: the two towers or the matrix.

 

This movie really helped me out. I watched it in 3D during a very difficult time in my life, and although I am still having a hard time, it gave me something else to think about for a while, and for 3 hours I forgot my chronic pain, and I dreamed that some day (probably not in my life) there would be new bodies for people like me who are disabled and in chronic pain. I would give anything to be able to live in a new body like that.
I think JC is a genius and this is one of the best movies ever made. I am a huge fan of this movie now and I love movies to begin with, mostly because of SFX, so this movie was specila, being the first 3D movie I ever saw, it thrilled me. I have written to JC, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and my fav. all-time actress, Michelle Rodriguez. I am a collector of celeb autographs, so I spent the weekend after seeing the movie writing handwritten cards to several celebs I've come to love over the past year and sent an SASE hoping I will add a lot to my autograph collection.
I wish I could change so many people for the better like James Cameron has. I wish I were as important and influential as he is. :heart

 

Seems the MGeeks liked this movie Or those that did not are not posting?

My Sis went in a group, for the 2D and walked in and out of the movie a few times, luckily it was in a mall and she went shopping:-D

I was all set to take my brat (who was not too exited) for the 3D on Sunday - but no tickets!

It was a nice hall with huge leather recliners, a sanitized blanket LOL, a great ala carte menu and a even better bar all service by, gorgeous damsels :-D on your private table.

Now I'm wondering if it's worth the money. Might wait for the DVD and watch at home.

Cheers..

 

Same here sikvik want to see the movie because it sounds great, but will wait like you for the dvd to be released !

 

Laura I'm gonna take your word for it
I'll go for the 3D, but opt out for the leather recliners, fine malt whiskey and snacks ranging from Bb'cued spare Ribs to Chicken tikkas etc served at one's seat:drool

cheers
