James Cameron's Avatar

so guys i dont see an open thread about this anywhere so i thought i'd create one. going to see this tonight, really looking forward to it! post your reactions/reviews/spoilers in here!

And if you want to read six months of speculations, hype and reckonings, its all archived here for posterity:

http://forum.watmm.com/topic/46195-james-camerons-avatar/

wonderful.

edit: I'm gonna see it on Monday with two teenage nephews of mine, to help me get into that teenage action movie mindset : )

yeah i heard about this, apparently it's nothing like titanic though

I have to wait till i get paid next week to see it. I'm curious how people are going to react. Let us know if you cry like a baby the way I did when I saw Titanic. We're counting on your thoughts Mr. Mcgriff!

considering i have the movie IQ of a 14 year old this will go swimmingly

I'm seeing it tonight as well. will provide a very short review maybe later tonight.

The visual experience is spectacular. The story....eh... not so much. But fuck it. I want Zoe Saldana on my lap. Right now.

I came straight home from work to order tickets online, and they were already sold out. I'll try again tomorrow...

i enjoyed the fuck out of this movie, i didn't have nearly as much problems with the story and script as i had feared. Visuals were mind blowing.

i hated this movie they were blue

how was the 3D? I know you're into all that... how'd it rate?

Un-fucking-believable. I was consistently blown away by the visuals throughout

i watched a cam version and the visuals were honestly not that good

did you wears teh 3Ds??

I don't really know anything about this movie but I am glad it exists because everyone is finally starting to spell "avatar" correctly.

best film in a long ass time, fucking wow

yeah I would pretend to love something If I had made that many posts about it too... lol just kidding. the 3D & CGI aspect is entertaining but I aint gonna try to pretend that this movie is a great great film by normal standards

what I quickly wrote on another forum:

-

It surpassed my expectations both visually and story wise... I need to see this again, this time on IMAX. The 3D was great on RealD, but I want booming sound and the huge IMAX picture for this. Awepittance did you see it on IMAX? How was the 3D?

awesome

i saw it on imax and the 3d was astounding, best 3d movie yet. unrelated to seeing the movie i just took some ketamine at a show so i feel a littl ebit like jake sully right now after he comes out of the avatar pod. ill post more about it tomorrow (it=the movie)

I saw the movie sober but when I see it on IMAX soon def doing weed brownies. Because its also here in theaters so long (3 months) I might end up doing acid for the second time for this movie. I have a feeling that experience would be un-forgettable visually. And the story was very entertaining I thought, just like more Cameron movies. The characters were believable and likable, the pacing felt good (though I would have liked more action)... and the cinematography really was perfect. Captured the emotion of the scene beautifully.

Quaritch is one great villain... complete badass.

Saw it last night, thought it was amazing, the 3D aspect blew me away, you really got a sense of the depth of field and got drawn into the film. and the Na'vi looked awesome.

I kinda want to see it now that you're mostly astounded.

I watched Transformers 2 yesterday and thanked gods I didn't see it in the cinema (because it would cost money. But Avatar sounds like it has some 3d thingies to watch.
