:p To ALL the Judgemental (And Wrong) people and doubters LOOK at the reviews are STELLAR AS HELL!!!

I'm really letdown with the CGI... I mean, it's not bad by any means, but I was expecting it to be as revolutionary as the supposed 3D elements are going to be.

Still really looking forward to this simply because of Cameron. I think it will be a slight flop in that it won't get nearly as much money as they think it will, however. Most of my friends aren't even remotely interested in it.

The fact there are no early reviews of this before release worries me seriously, this could be one hell of a christmas turkey.
And an early review from someone who's seen the film says its plot is almost non-existent, but it's like the biggest first-person shooter ever. And:

What we have is: Boy meets alien through marines, boy loses aliens and marines, boy fights marines and gets girl. And I was also told that despite all the trappings of special effects, blue people and CGI skies, Sigourney Weaver still manages to register strongly with warmth and a commanding presence.

I am sure we all know what happens but just incase more peeps complain :p

More CG? :x
So.. guys.

Just out of curiosity..

What happens if this is a three hour long bomb?

The same thing as a 1.5 hour long bomb except twice as much.
Am I the only one that thinks that this movie doesn't look good? And if the leaked plot is right, that doesn't make it look any better.
Meh. Doesn't really look that impressive - atleast not to the level its been hyped up to be.

I was reading several reviews and most of the reviewers seem to have gone into the theater wanting to hate it, but they all came out gushing about it. Even those who felt the plot was thin had a lot of other nice things to say about it.

thats hillarious :D

Im still crying :D Seriously - that was hilarious :D

But on a more serious note - highly recommend interview with Cameron about Avatar and.. *khem* some of the 14 years in making :D Also explains the revolutionary part, which i have to agree is quite groundbreaking from what hes saying.

I sure hope then whenever dvd and bluray comes out thers ****loads of extras, as i could listen to him for hours.

Looks like another mediocre film from a director who didn't know when to quit while he was ahead. I predict you'll see 'Avatar' action figures overflowing in the clearance bins of stores by february.

When have you actually seen sole movie successfully launching a toy series that actually has legs to withstand the test of time? I maybe a bit out of the age when toys were interesting, but seriously now. No movie alone unless its made based on some franchise with huge legacy like the ones from Marvel, DC or Hasbro can make it. Well, unless its those sideshow collectibles $$$ busts.

I have no idea how the public will respond to this film. I don't think anyone does.

Because that's the best he can do, apparently. He almost behaves like a crazy Mac fanatic.

Really, I think people are just too sad & judgemental!!! That's the Problem with humanity! I will NEVER go out and judge some **** I don't know enough about yet I see people do it all the time like they are expert. *SIGH*

"OMG this movie looks like a Video game!!!"

Yeah have you ever in your life even played a Video game?

"OMG CGI MUST equal SUCK! NO Plot and Bad Acting I am sure!!!"

So you think Terminator 2 sucked? Or Lord Of The rings?

Yeah, you must really have POOR taste in movies, then.

There are ALWAYS people doubting, or judge movies like this... Senselessly!

Thank GOD these critics are very positive about this movie!!!

And movie is grabbing awards already!!!

Some people need LEARN they shouldn't be so judgemental and really know what you are talking about.

Like, there are NO video games gameplay graphics quality comparable to CGI of these movies, period. So, saying that it looks like a Video Game complete make you look stupid from all the gamers who actually has PLAYED games!!!

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
