James Cameron Sci-Fi film AVATAR

[M-5]

Great movie!  I'll definitely be seeing this movie again.

Really enjoyed this movie a lot!  Amazing looking film and it has a great deal of heart.  I urge all of you to go see this one in the theaters.  You won't be disappointed.

Avatar: The Movie (New Extended HD Trailer)

 I saw Avatar 3-D Friday.

I didn't see it at an IMAX theater but I was surprisingly impressed by the 3-D effects.  A few months ago I was at a computer show for vendors and watched a 3-D demonstration using electronic glasses that blinked polarized lenses as shutters.  Whatever method was used in Avatar used glasses but not electronic ones.  The effect however was as good as I recall seeing at that computer show and the screen was WAY BIGGER.

The movie was like a combination of Vietnam, Dances with Wolves, Aliens and Fern Gully.

Heavy on the Fern Gully.

James Cameron's Avatar Official HD James Cameron´s Vision

It totally blows away Star Trek which had nothing to say and beats it for effects.  I am going to go again soon which I haven't done for any movie since The Matrix.  That was 10 years 9 1/2 months ago.

This is the Ironman II thread.. do you mind deleting this and putting it in the Avatar thread... thanks

[Rico]

I moved it over to the Avatar thread.

[psikeyhackr]

OK, now I'm really confused.

I just looked at the Ironman thread.  It contains pictures that I have never seen.  But I saw that picture from the ST Galileo Seven episode earlier today.

The Galileo & picture is something M-5 copied to his signature line on his member profile. Some other members put comic strips and ads for other podcasts or their duty roster IDs from the forum RPG as well as signature qoutes. :) Iwas just at the Iron Man II thread but didn' t see anything different.

First day back in the office since seeing Avatar 3D - and I have been evangelizing it to my colleagues.

Just saw it in 3D. What a beautiful film. An amazing experience, myself and the audience applauded at the end. AMAZING and WONDERFUL. Thank God they can still make a movie that will take your breath away.

Avatar was such an amazing film. I think this is a must see in theaters if just for the 3D and special effects. It was absolutely beautifully made. I thought the story was a little predictable, but it wasn't bad by any means. In my opinion a fantastic film.

"Avatar" 10 day box office is $617 million! At least the $300 million they spent was all on the screen. Anyone who hasn't seen this in 3D yet, YOU MUST! Not in IMAX, just regular 3D. It's so in obtrusive and subtle.

I finally saw this.  Great movie, I'll be reviewing it on my podcast.  WOW!

I kinda feel like I'm the only geek on the planet who didn't think the film was great - visually stunning, but it was all fur coat and tiny knickers. I really don't think the animals (horse things mainly) moved very well, there was just something... off about them.

Maybe I should hand back my geek card.

Finally got to see this.. saw it in DPL 3D.. I have one word.. EPIC!!!!! Such a beautiful movie, but also had a great story. Loved the world of Pandora, we got the really know the Navi... loved that. It was truly a wonderful movie experience.

I did see this in 3D but still think they film still would have been epic in 2D.

I plan to see it at least one more time and next time it will be IMAX 3D

I was worried about sales on this on DVD/Bluray.. but I have no doubt this will do great on DVD as well.

[Bryancd]

I saw it in 2D after seeing it in 3D and it was still wonderful, but the 3D version is so much more immersive and engaging. I'm also planning one more trip to IMAX 3D before it's gone, which may not be for a while!
