10/10

Just watched it tonight in 3D in a large cinema.

Pretty damm amazing.

   Visually, its kinda a masterpiece, imo. The world, and the creatures inhabiting it, is very, very well done, as he took his time. The 3D adds to this, and makes it wonderfully immersive, though during the action scenes, its a bit of a pain as there is a lot going on, and it forces your eyes to focus on the nearer stuff (minor quibble).

   As it has been pointed out before, the plot and story isn't anything new. However it is very, very well told, and in my opinion, the actions of the characters,were realistic. The cultures of the races show in the movie, while borrowed from our own world, are beautifully laid out, conceptually, and are on par with the visual affects everyone raves about.

  As for the acting, well, most of the story, is told through the Avatar, so it would normally be a moot point; however, they have invested lots of money and time, attempting to make them look realistic, and I feel it did succeed. The lead marine is pretty good, as is the villain; and of course there is Sigourney Weaver.

   As it has been pointed out, its a long movie, almost three hours. I tried to prepare for this, by going to the men's room just beforehand, but I also bought a coke to drink. I drank the coke, and felt the need to go an hour in. Someone had told me that there was an interval half-way through (which there was at his cinema, but not mine!), and I decided I would go then. Over an hour and a half later, when the movie finished, I was still bursting to go. Why?, because a. I didn't want to go and miss something, and b. its that good a movie, that its worth the suffering!

Do watch this. Do watch it in 3D where possible, and Do watch it in a Cinema; as watching it on a laptop, or other small screen doesn't do it justice.

Hmm, kinda as I expected. Technical excellent movie, but... I think it was kinda "dull" apart from the visuals.

What was always great about Cameron was that he had a great script combined with top notch visuals, this time it was just the visuals. I don't even mind the simple setup (bad corp against good natives), if  only there was any interesting interaction between the two factions. But instead it's just the hero/avatar exploring the world for the first half of the movie, then there's the big attack in the end. It's so fucking straightforward, simple and uninspired.

Nice watch, but that's kinda it.

9/10 One of the best movies i've seen in my life.               I was afraid to be disappointed with the end battle, because i knew i was expecting too much epicness. But is was THAT Epic. Shame the helicopter chick died though, i loved her (and her tits, my god they could have added some extra 3D to those). But i'll agree on what all of the others say 100% go see it in 3D!

Pretty to watch, however 3d at the movie was not that great. Maybe they didnt use its full potential, first movie I saw as 3d anyway. Not much to comment about characters since their actions were very predictable and the design was boring. If you can get over the bad character design and the story flaws, you have OK movie. Which I guess most can... transformers seems to be quite popular movie  :'(

Just watched it today, was an awesome film imo definately worth a watch. I saw it in 3d and wouldnt recommend it over 2d there wasnt much need for it apart from the odd leaf floating about

Shankski did you see it in 2d aswell?

I would really not recommend watching it in 2d if you have a chance of seeing it in 3d.

The depth of the images is so much better, it might not be like in disneyland where you have stuff coming out of the screen towards you but it definately works.

I was amazed by the images but as mentioned earlier the story didnt bring anything new.

Dances with wolves + Pocahontas + starwars.

8/10

Amazing movie, 9/10 seen in Real3D, very well told story, amazing cinematography, typical Cameron.  3D was well used imo, it wasn't in your face like in The Final Destination, it added an immersive effect.

Felt like a fantasy version of Dancing With Wolves. But a very well executed and beautiful one. I saw it in Real3D and while it was cool and all it still felt like a gimmick. I believe you need goggles to get full experience with shit coming out of the screen etc.

8.5/10

Looking forward to the smurf sex scene on Blu-ray! ;)

is real3d without goggles?

I watched it with goggles, you cant really make the 3d effect without goggles.
