Avatar: Go see it

[hurstshifter]

Just got back from seeing Avatar...


The Good
------------

• -Fantastic visual effects.
  -The flow of the story almost never hits a dull note.
  -Wicked cool space marine technology!
  -Wicked cool extra-terrestrial alien lifeforms!
  -EXPLOSIONS!!!!
  -Love...awwww
  -That guy who played JP in Grandma's Boy in a pseudo-serious role.

The Bad (Or not so good)
-----------

• -No major twists or turns in the story. Relatively predictable.
  -Characters are pretty one-dimensional.
  -No full frontal blue space alien nudity?(If only for the sake of another item on the bad list, this thing is pretty short)

All in all I fucking loved this movie, it really has a little bit for everyone to enjoy. Quite possibly the best movie of this decade (I can't think of a better one at this moment). While the plot certainly isn't anything groundbreaking (it's pretty much Dances with Wolves in the future), Cameron's world of Pandora in Avatar has claimed a spot in my brain right in between Tatooine and Middle-Earth. Truly breathtaking. My advice to you would be to get out and see this in IMAX 3d while and if you can.

Yeah, I'll have to see it. At first I didn't want to, because the whole blue people thing sort of turned me away, but EVERYONE keeps saying it was amazing.

[GroundUpEngine]

I've seen it and I gotta say the effects are fucking crazy!

imo the blue guys are more funny than off putting

Freaking great movie! I caught it on the 18th.

Does Mo'at creep anyone else out, or is that just me?

Saw it and also thought it was fantastic.

My favorite parts were just seeing the main character roam around the Alien jungle. Seriously, the visual effects and sheer overwhelming creativity of the landscape made the movie. I would really like to look to their terrain for some inspiration on Elysian Shadows.

Oh, and Sigourney Weaver is, and always will be a fucking badass. Perfect person for that role.

Just watched it and it really is a great movie.

I did not like the fact that after the first 60 minutes the plot becomes more and more like from a Disney family movie.

[Sanshin77]

Watched it a few days ago. Amazing, I've talked to friends and family and everyone enjoyed it, even my mom (who doesn't like sci-fi).

Yeah, definitely Go see it.

It was a really good movie, and I was reminded of the play "Custer's Last Stand" and the movie "Dances With Wolves" time and time again.

Agree with ALL points by hurstshifter, especially about being predictable. Overall, I would recommend seeing it

[Jabza]

Seen it and despite being a bit to long, it's really epic... Just as long as you ignore the whole 'tentacle animal mounting system' they have.

[dandymcgee]

Excellent movie. I loved it.

[OmegaGDS]

I saw it, loved it. Yes, the visual effects were amazing.

We talked about this movie in AP Psychology. Apparently there are certain characters and everything that has to be there to make a movie great, and this one had everything. Someone did say it was predictable, and I say that yes, it followed the same general storyline that all other great movies are made of . Its one that I will definitely buy, cant wait to watch it again.
I didn't get to see it in 3D

[hurstshifter]

Did not win best picture

oh well

[K-Bal]

lol Maybe they did not invest enough money?
