If you are gonna go see this movie, try to see it in 3-D if you can. What a stunningly beautiful, impressive, visualy effective self-righteous load of BS propaganda. If you are a liberal tree hugger you will absolutely love the movie. For everyone else, it's like starring at a giant image of Al Gore for 2 hours. I have loved some of James Cameron's movies in the past, Aliens, The Terminator, The Abyss (not the Special Edition), he has always seemed to write anti-corporate/anti-military themes, but he seems to cross the line with this movie into a crazed wildman, hell bent on jihad against the western civilized world, which has made him a multi-millionare (irony?). I'm not saying don't go see it, it's worth a one time look, atleast to pass a few hours.

Visually the movie is appealing. There's a lot that could of been done with the technology he was using. Story wise, won't say it was bad, just redundant. We've seen it before. Worth a watch not the hype. People keep asking me and all I can say is it's Titanic with big blue people.

Saw it this morning in 3d. Good film, glad I saw it for free. The visuals are great, the story is lacking. It's much like a slew of Disney movies with more cursing and alot of violence. Overall it's entertaining also visually pleasing. Some points you completely forget it's mostly CG.

If you can afford it, see it in 3d. The movie was developed specifically for 3d and they used a specially made technology for it. The quality is huge for CG. Again, the story has been done time and time again.

I really, really, really, really wanted to see this movie in 3D, but I'm stuck in another country where the last English-language showing in 3D is in 45 minutes, and I don't have the 10€ to spare.

I must've watched a bootlegged version of this film. I only saw a bit of the golden globes but the moments I did catch this movie won awards. It's probably going to win a few SAG awards too. Maybe even a couple Oscars. I must've watched a bootlegged version of this film. Checked some numbers and it's number two in highest grossing films of all time. Second to his other film Titanic. I got robbed; I must've watched a bootlegged version of this film.

I saw it in 2D (Didn't see IMAX since it was more of a spur of the moment thing.)

However, the story/plot of the film seems a bit overdone, a lot of the elements are almost identical to those of Pocahontas (history).

I felt the scene transitions were a bit quick too, like you didn't know if it was the same person because the scenes switched so quickly.

The characters themselves weren't all that memorable, you probably couldn't remember their names after seeing the film. Although their personalities were memorable, but not at the levels of say Star Wars characters (who can forget Darth Vader, Luke, etc)

The CGI in the movie was amazing, effects were great, I really loved the various landscapes of Pandora and how beautiful everything was.

Some things weren't really explained well, like how exactly some of the Sci-Fi stuffed actually worked (won't go into much detail for spoilers.)

Despite this I still cried about 2 times in the movie, one where the big fight is and people die, the other at the very end.

Overall despite the fact that it's horribly mainstream, I'd still highly recommend the movie, since it means different things to different people.

I utterly despised this move. utterly.

The 3D gave me a splitting headache and was entirely unneeded. it made the visuals blurry like a jason bourne fight, so you couldn't tell what was going on. There would be a giant Robot shooting a smurf and I couldn't tell whther it was shooting it or breakdancing. Even still, I barely noticed anythign that seemed to pop out. maybe it was the pain throbbing from my forehead. I don't know. special effects and cGI were good but honestly, If I wanted to watch mindless special effects I would watch the first transformers movie. Horribly commericial but it knows what it is, mindless fun. Avatar is not mindless fun. it is a train wreck.

Almost all of the charchters were complete jag-bags so It was fundamentally hard to feel any connection to Mr. Baldy Meathead. The only charcters I liked both died and were swiftly forgotton (because smurfs have the attention spans of mosquitos).


but the story is what really pissed me off. not only was in un-original and predictable, it was horribly cheezy. it was like an angsty pre-teen version of a disney movie. utterly wretched. but what pissed me off the most was when all of the Iraq war compairisons came in. Now before I complain even more, note I'm a about as far-left as one can be without being a violent moron. People started to say "oh those 50 foot smurf things are like the Iraqis oh noez!" Despite being highly absurd (more on that later) to my understand that was James Cameron's point partially.

Let me tell you one thing, I don't know the real situation but from what I watch on the plethora of European News channels I watch daily it's a lot more gray than what Cammeron's pea brain sets it out to be. There are people fighting against the occupation, there are people fighting for teh occupation, there are some who just want the nightmare to end. the movie is a horribly black and white story. Sahme on anyone who wants deep meaning in that.

and even if he did it well, it's such a cowardly and shameless cop out ( if that was his entire point) it simply cannot be respected. If you really wanted to stab at it, make a real movie and directly attack it. grow a pair.


Other fiction takes real events and simply is inspired by them. It does not base at least 80% of the logic behind it. try again cammeron.

(also on antoher note, it seems he has taken from teh Ayn rand school of naming things. I swear I groaned when I heard "unobtainium". I'm now ta a toss up what is worse, wesley mooch or unobtainium.)
