Guest beatfanatic Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 "Before any “Avatar” footage was screened to the public, fanboys and movie buffs were hailing the movie, calling it the cinematic game-changer of the decade." that reminds me of someone lol. I am looking forward to the release. Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46195-james-camerons-avatar/page/28/#findComment-1184511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFT. I think I said somewhere before that this may fail because normal people just don't care. It flies under the same flag as the Final Fantasy film. Too nerdy for the mass-public to engage with. Cameron himself is the biggest draw to the widest demographic. Saying that, for the past week the Sun (the most popular tabloid in Britain) has ran a centre-page campaign with interviews and articles about Avatar. Obviously it's a massive advertisement, but I should assume they've caught some attention with it, and most certainly in the young-teens age-range. When I was under 14, and Internet-less, the Sun was my only source for blockbuster movie news.

perunamuusi Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 i've only just heard of this film (apart from seeing this thread title quite a few times... i've never opened this thread before and somehow it has never sparked enough interest in me to even work out that the Avatar in the thread title refers to a film title)... i'm assuming that because this is on 28 pages that this is quite a hotly anticipated film... can someone explain why this is 28 pages long when i can't even remember seeing a single other pre release movie thread before....

karmakramer Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Quote So by saying Avatar was really much, much better than expected, that it looked amazing and that the story was gripping – if cheesy in many places – the Guardian is in technical breach of the agreement. It is not a breach, however, to report that other journalists leaving the screening were also positive: the terrible film that some had been anticipating had not materialised. It was good. - Guardian More positive early impressions... not ONE negative one yet!
