[kooltilldend]

well that's one movie that "has" to be seen in the theatres

[db_la_23]

hey thanks. looks good

[pone44]

Looks like world of Warcraft meets Transformers. I wont knock it until I see it. I hope that is in a Imax theater near me.

[DubDub]

this is going to be <BIG.....James Cameron movies always rock

[clocker]

It probably will be BIG but will it be GOOD?

[razvy]

It will be a great movie. I can't wait for it... Hope it will be same as 2012 and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

[Totti]

This movie has bombshell written all over it CG and the new 3D tech that Camerons boasting to have on this movie will take center stage.... The story will probably be something seen before in other movies. I have no expectations for this movie what so ever sorry.....

[killour]

i`m waiting for this one :D will watch it in a 3D theater , it`s a must see movie

[GeorgeJung]

This movie is very very good evrybody needs to see it, is very cool :)

Of course thats how those kind of movies are ment to be seen in 3D i cant wait myself it look amazing with all the special effects. looking foward to it.

[clocker]

I saw it yesterday at an IMAX 3-D theater.

It's an astounding visual experience that more than compensated for the retarded plot and dialogue.

Seriously, if you can't see it in 3-D IMAX, don't bother...the visuals are the only thing Avatar has going for it.

If you can get to an IMAX...well, you're in for a hell of a ride.
There are several big setpiece scenes that will literally take your breath away (and maybe make you nauseous)...the technology really is as good as Cameron has been claiming.

By way of comparison...2012 is equally as stupid plot-wise as Avatar but no where near as visually arresting.
I left 2012 feeling cheated and Avatar exhilarated.

It's too bad that Cameron allowed the tech to overwhelm the story but in this first effort, I'll overlook it.

Highly recommended, with reservations.

[Alien5]

it's a 10 year/200 million dollar cartoon, which for that kind of money I want a cheeseburger and a magical unicorn with my viewing.

[Gemby!]

i quoted charlie the unicorn and ate at macdonals beforehand- it made the avatar experience better. Not that it is a bad film, but it is a tad long.

[ullini288]

looks so hawt

[jimmyg123]

I saw avatar in 3D yesterday too. i thought that it was going to be all action like transformers. The movie had a pretty good story line I was suprised and for the 300 + million dollar budget, the most expensive film produced to this day, it had know room to flop. I would give it an 8/10.

[pone44]

It was not what I expected. I thought it would have no plot, all action. James Cameron is a genius.
Was this movie sponsored by World of warcraft or something?

[mr. nails]

Was this movie sponsored by World of warcraft or something?

no, but that's on the way too.

[peat moss]

Ah fuck do you have to wear the 3d glasses and listen to pukes that sat thru two viewings ? Eat 4 dollar popcorn and hold my beer pee for three hours ... give me a dvdr 5 torrent please lord .:D

[hoodevil]

good movie, I pay 2 dollar in my cinema

[clocker]

$2?

Your cinema located in 1964?

[hoodevil]

I am from Colombia, here the ticket cost $4000 pesos (4000 Peso colombiano = 1.97329 US Dólar )

thanks for this,i lol'd hard :lol:

[clocker]

It's Columbia...the coke is free.

[mr. nails]

it's got story, never mind the ppl who think different. i liked it. the 2.5 hours went by super fast. some ppl relate to this film by saying it reminded them of dances with wolves. i haven't seen that film in a long while, so i'll say it reminded me of tom cruises movie the last samurai in a way. lots of pretty shit to look at. last 20 mins is blown out combat and the previous 2 hours is all about learning the new world and exploration. seems they will continue with a sequel. will watch it again. 9/10

[worldpease]

if you can't see it in 3-D IMAX, don't bother...the visuals are the only thing Avatar has going for it.
Well, me and my brother went to see it today at one of our local cinemas (Cinepolis Rio (http://www.cinepolis.com.mx/indexmx.asp)), which is playing the movie in RealD,
we had never seen one of these movies with this new 3D system; we both thought it was Awesome! great experience well wort it.


Ah fuck do you have to wear the 3d glasses and listen to pukes that sat thru two viewings ? Eat 4 dollar popcorn and hold my beer pee for three hours ... give me a dvdr 5 torrent please lord .Nah the 3D glasses are not that bad, at least it's not the ones with blue & red, that becomes annoying after a few minutes.
And I did have to go pee a couple of times, we bought really big Cokes.


good movie, I pay 2 dollar in my cinema
I paid $6 USDlls, and I got to keep the glasses, sone guys in front of my told the guy who was collecting 'em if they could keep it and he said 'sure, just put them in your pocket on your way out', lol I know they're useless but hell, they charged me good for the tixs and food :whistling

Yeah I agree, nice good old classic story, doesn't get old; and I guess the two hour introduction to Pandora is all right,
since for sure this is only the first movie in a trilogy, besides, it was in 3D awesomeness! so 9/10 seems reasonable, though I gave it 9.5 coming out of the theater.
.

[mengaish]

3D Avatar is amazing.

I will see it once more.

[worldpease]

I might go see it again today, but not in 3D this time.

[centuryfog]

i had some friends go see it but said it was really cliche'd. worth seeing?

[worldpease]

i had some friends go see it but said it was really cliche'd. worth seeing?
Isn't saying something is cliche's a cliche? :P
Nah I figure if we keep thinking like that then when are we supposed to just have fun, heck just enjoy the thing, have a good time at the theater.
But that is just a thought. :)

[Uplifting]

I was in the cinema for this film, great effects, nice story

[Xhider39]

very beautiful I watch it on 3D :D

[underw]

i recomanded is great movie

[sertgert]

a great movie.!

[jhowar4]

I don't know about a great movie in terms of plot. If Jurassic Park, Pocahantas, and Star Trek had a baby, there you go. But I saw it in Imax 3D and every frame was a piece of art. To call it visually stunning would be a massive understatement. Very much worth seeing.

[IdolEyes787]

20th Century Fox has posted a PDF online of the full screenplay (http://www.foxscreenings.com/media/pdf/JamesCameronAVATAR.pdf) for awards reasons so you can judge if the story in and of itself is any good.

[clocker]

That can't be the real screenplay, it's too big to fit on a bevnap.

[soulreaper]

One of the best cinematic experiences i've ever had, although the same cant be said about the predictable story. But Cameron's intention was to bring back audiences in the multiplexes so he's done that emphatically. I still think T2 is his best film, actually its the best action film i've ever seen.

[Carnios]

Still in love with this movie. I forgot that I was in a theater for 2 and a half hours. Absolutely loved it and have seen it twice in theaters (which is very rare for me to even see it once).

[bunny67]

cool film

[tarrkovsky]

meh.
the most generic story i've heard in a while. cmon cameron you can do better than this!

[Aggvispen]

I really want to see this movie, alot of people are talking about it and says it's a really good movie. I regret that I didn't saw this movie on the theater. But I will defenetly see this movie when it comes out on HD :)

[scotex]

cool film

[QPD]

indeed

[sez]

Oscar fail I predict

[QPD]

Avatar will grab some Oscars for sure.The story is lame, but come on!!! I've never seen so many special effects and postproducion in a single movie.

[Extremesmsm]

this movie is the best of this year so far , it has incredible effects and storyboard , everything is great about that

[xp1astikx]

...i watched it twice. im a loser : / great movie though

[jean0117]

Watched this movie a couple of times now but I think I'm gonna go out and grab a DVD copy too. This film is gonna be a classic. It just set up a new record and surpassed Titanic. Hope James Cameron come up with another great movie that will surpass Avatar.

[IdolEyes787]

Yes it compares well to Titanic .Like that movie a marvelously overblown technical achievement that strikes a resonant emotional cord in the collective film going psyche while having amazingly little actual substance.

This is the headline review on IMDB "praising" it
"Avatar combines parts of Pocahontas and Braveheart with a liberal dose of Space Marines into an epic whole that takes nearly three full hours to unfold. We could criticise that length, the weak story and the hammy dialogue. We could attack its thinly-veiled ecological message or the frankly bizarre spirituality in its second half but honestly nothing can spoil the experience while you are enveloped in....":unsure:


Oh look shiny


I enjoy a good amusement park ride as much as the next person but then I never hop off one thinking to myself " geez that was profoundly life enriching"

[Rart]

If you watch Pocahontas on LSD it kind of looks like Avatar.

Try it.

[karachidude]

Avatar good :happy:

[beansis]

I can say I was almost as impressed by the quality of the SecretMyth encode as I was by the movie itself :cool:
will be getting the 1080p release when available . . .

[The_Martinator]

I've never watched Pochahontas. Is it any good? :lol:

[HonorGuard]

it reminded me a bit of Princess Mononoke with the whole humans vs forest thing. Saw it in 3D totally worth the 15 bucks lmfao

[PlaystationMan]

pretty good movie too...3D was awesome

[eklavya]

this is one of the best movies ive ever seen avatar is n1 in my colection and in your to if you watch this movie

[anon]

Looking at your other posts it'd appear you indeed liked Avatar a lot.

[icelas]

it is so wonderful,aha

[l33tpirata13]

yeah it was great to see, but not enough to say, "oh man, that movie changed my life!" It wasnt Fight Club. Take away all the special effects and you're left with a Disney movie.

[Zac090]

Was a nice movie,I liked it


Take away all the special effects and your left with a Disney movie.
Pixar sounds better :P

[anon]

yeah it was great to see, but not to say, "oh man, that movie changed my life!" It wasnt no Fight Club.

Fight Club was indeed a great, deep movie. One of those worth watching again.

[superjojo]

Great effects and especially wonderfull story

[clocker]

What was so wonderful about the story?

[IdolEyes787]

It must be a great story because it's been done so many times.

[Grindalyx]

It was a good movie, but they could've done more with it.

[janostn]

I dont like this move, It is not real

[clocker]

I dont like this move, It is not real
Oh, are you in for a disappointment.

[Rart]

[Drako90]

Is a movie only for entertainment

[clocker]

Unlike most movies, apparently.

[hrt]

It´s a nice movie but the story is to... "normal"

[AlriyG600]

[IdolEyes787]

[dannyyelly]

dint like it very much... it was ok.. not great..

[ThorMAN]

This movie is f*cking wow!

[vrich187]

Dances with smurfs

looked great tho

[Shawn84]

This movie has made history! It is a turning point in cinema.

The 3D technology should be enough to lure people back to the isles of the local cinemas.

Simply spectactular.

[mindlock]

Should be out within two weeks on your favorite tracker DVDrip/DVD-R/Bluray.....can't wait.

[IdolEyes787]

This movie has made history! It is a turning point in cinema.

No the fact that the masses can be dazzled by technology and loud noises was proven by Micheal Bay years ago.

If you are talking about 3D G-Force was 3D ffs.



The 3D technology should be enough to lure people back to the isles of the local cinemas.

At least until 3D TV becomes the norm so 10 years tops..In the meantime the film industry better hurry up and get to work on holographic imagery because clearly (The Hurt Locker $26,500,000 worldwide , Avatar $2,668,000,000) simply being the better film doesn't cut it.

[The_Martinator]

Waiting for a decent release (I hear it's coming in april) to watch this. From what I've read it's not that good.

I'll be happy if it's a decent sci fi movie that happens to look good.

[mr. nails]

Waiting for a decent release (I hear it's coming in april) to watch this.

look harder. it's been out for a month now.


At least until 3D TV becomes the norm..

i hope not.

rigged.

[IdolEyes787]

But it would have been awesome in 3D.:(

[The_Martinator]

By decent I mean at least a DVDrip. No screeners or TSs for me. :P

[Rart]

Exclusive new trailer for Avatar II :O

it's March 31st and the 1080p should be out this week hopefully on my favorite trackers.....

[bilbobaggins]

[FucktheNet]

[grzemyslaw]

Really nice movie!

[tehpwn]

Still waiting for the blue-ray/1080p to come out =)

[silverxire]

i watched at cinema but it wasnt a 3d one.so i want to watch it again in 3d.

[xisabella]

it`s will coming .

i want download blue-ray in P2P world.

[nightson]

Can't find anything very innovate about it. Maybe I'm tired of hearing the same old story over and over again

[mindlock]

Damn, this is taking forever to get here.....April 5th and it's due out April 22nd in USA.......I haven't seen it, waited out for bluray....usually when a movie comes late I hate it.....lawl...

[yann3804]

Just a question, can the 3d effect be done @ home? (E.G. Home cinema) or only in theaters?

[IdolEyes787]

If you are asking if you can presently pick up a copy of Avatar in 3D and watch it without a special set though then the answer is no.

Right now the 3D sets that are on the market use the same type of passive glass system that requires the same type of polarized glasses you get in the movie theaters.
The polarization filters out some of the image on each lens so you get the illusion of 3 dimensionality.
The drawback of course is with the glasses the picture appears blurry as hell.

There are other technology in the works that either won't require the glasses or alternately will put as the technology in the glasses and won't distort the picture for anyone watching without a pair.

[Rart]

Ok sorry but I have read through that post about 5 times slowly and still can't quite understand it (probably cause "glass" can reference many different things).

Do you mean that you can't get the same effect from Avatar without owning a TV that uses a special kind of glass screen that emanates the effect? Or that you need a different set of 3D glasses (That go on your eyes) that aren't regularly available?

[IdolEyes787]

I think for now you need a special 3D copy of Avatar ,one of the new 3D Tvs and the also the eye glasses as well.

Cha-ching is right.....just more things to buy, more money to spend, more people to get rich besides me......:cry:

Gets worse....Avatar Bluray is using BD+ 5 Protection.....might actually have to buy the bluray as it could take another month before it releases on any trackers. Here's the message from Slysoft ANYDVDHD software developer in their forums:

So a reasonable ETA may be at least one month.
So (IF there really is such a thing as a "new" BD+ protection), the clock starts ticking, when I have the disc in my hands. Which will be release date + the usual 1-2 weeks shipping time to Antigua.

Also, I don't handle pressure very well, so add another week for each time I'm being asked "when will it be done".
And I already have a couple of those in my PM (despite my signature telling people to not PM me).

My answer therefore will be, as usual: February.
(you pick the year )

[Chesskid1]

ummm, a month? they can just put it in a blu-ray player and capture the feed from the HDMI. remember releases like Slumdog.Millionaire.720p.HDMI.x264-TmG when they couldn't break the BD+?

[pilda]

same old same old

[AndreyReyna]

Good movie.I want to see it second time at BD quality.

[freak12345]

i wasn't able to watch the movie in 3D but i hope to get another chance when the 3D version of the movie in bluray or dvd becomes available...

[ftalker]

I enjoyed the movie. People often talk about how this movie is a commentary on some aspect of society. I just enjoyed the movie for a movie!

[memetrus]

good movie

[The_Martinator]

good movie

I agree, especially now that you've presented such strong arguments. :O

[anon]

But he needs those 20 posts! :O

[lued_00]

damn, i still haven't watched this movie haha

[amuro2500]

The movie is best!!~~
grate movie!~~

[napalm1773]

Does all the hype live up to the movie?

[xarion]

It was a good movie, but I don't think it was worth the hype. It was basically just Sci-Fi Pocahontas.

[Angeleys]

iam waiting it to be released as blueray ...1080p

[tdealer]

Nice one, but not on my list of best movies.

[clocker]

Nice one, but not on my list of best movies.
You should continue to keep your list secret, makes things more interesting for the rest of us.

[The_Martinator]

Good movie,very cool

As in cold?

[Expeto]

A revolutionary movie, which teaches us a lot about the latest animation technologies,

Its so educational because its a controlled science experiment, I guess they intentionally choose a very :shit: script and a very very :shit: storyline, just to see what the technology is capable without other factors. Keeping in mind result is also :shit:, I guess its not really that capable.

[jamess]

The best movie ı ever seen.

[Jej]

Avatar is nice, but this movie is very overrated imo

[McBride]

The best movie I ever seen.

[IdolEyes787]

Then you really need to get out more.

[IdolEyes787]

lol

What did you do, look in the mirror?

[Hippo]

Avatar was pretty unimaginative. Nothing special.

[dandraesley]

IMHO, Great graphic for this movie but weak plot. I imagine if he explore deeper bad and good sides from both human and alien race. It would be epic.

Actually he kinda wasted the technology with same old story. FYI, I think Pirates 1 better than both the sequel even though both sequel has much more CG effects.

I'll give him a chance for a sequel like Terminator 2 case.

[est]

It's funny to read something like this:

Piling On Avatar - Overcoming Bias by Robin Hanson (http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/05/piling-on-avatar.html)

[yoco]

I expected much, much more from this movie and Cameron, especially since he likes to say he worked a decade on this movie, you'd expect a better story. Effects were amazing, but that's about it in this movie.

[tehpwn]

It's plot is similar to pocahontas.

[aiba]

That movie was awsome. Defenetly in my top 10 ever list.

[lea88]

I watched the movie both in 2d and in 3d however didnt really get what the hype was all about in 3d. I mean apart from the 'deeva' nothing else was really 3d. Plus with the blurry content it wasnt really an enjoyable experience.

The movie however was good....but not excellent

[bigdaddydude]

I saw this movie in theaters with the 3D version and it was off the hook. The effects were amazing and it will be one of my all time favorites. I can't wait to get a copy of this in 3D.

[Expeto]

I usually wonder what would people really think about this movie, if there wasn't so much so called experts out there calling it revolutionary.

Tell me what is so new? What is the revolution? Yes, I seen it 3D and I got bit of pleasure from the effects. But its just another movie pushing the limits little bit farther, not a revolution.

[Nufek]

I think it was a great movie.
I saw it in Berlin in 3D. (we dont have 3D in northern norway -.-) And I think the effects were great :p

[BlueMax]

This is a great movie. If you like hi-tec graphics and stuff in movies, you will love it.
Storyline also good.

In case anyone did not know you can download is as hig-res BluRay.1080p
little over 38GB but the quality is amazing.

[elsayed]

this movie is awesome when in 3D but if i watch on my ordinary lcd it's not that good

[BlueMax]

this movie is awesome when in 3D but if i watch on my ordinary lcd it's not that goodI have'nt seen the 3D version but have watched a huge 1020p download using the player 'CyberLink Power DVD 10' in its 'TrueTheater 3D' mode on a 3D monitor.
Very impressive.

[Assassin1]

This ist the Best Movie that I have seen in my Life - 3D or not

[EiGHT]

It is a great movie.

Great movie i'm looking for bluray in 3D

[Esck21]

Avatar is way overrated...

[FatBob]

i havent seen that movie yet .. downloading a bdrip of it

[IronBlade]

It's extremely overrated movie.

[graywolf]

It's extremely overrated movie.

Agreed. :yup:

[snow]

Didn't see it in 3D but without it is nothing too extraordinary.

[Bannister]

It was a very good movie. I was very surprised about the good story, I didn't expect that. I'll buy the DVD as soon as possible...
