James Cameron's Avatar in 3D


Recommended Posts

I wonder how does George Lucas think about Avatar?

"Creating a universe is daunting,? George Lucas said. ?I?m glad Jim is doing it?there are only a few people in the world who are nuts enough to. I did it with ?Star Wars,? and now he?s trying to challenge that. It?s a lot of work. I do believe Jim will take this further out than anyone?s ever conceived of.?

- George Lucas

thought i'd come see people's opinions on the movie (real people not critics) and all i get is pages and pages of jedix spamming worthless info and blatant fanboyism. Pretty excited to see this, mainly because i've never seen a 3d movie, wanna see if it's actually worth wearing glasses for if ya know what I mean. Hopefully it completely blows me away but my guts telling me i'm gonna be left disappointed

So I heard this movie is a 3D version of a Pokemon movie with just Mudkips on screen. It sounds like its worth seeing, but I feel a bit uneasy spending $10 on a ticket for the 3D version of the movie.

It better be of a higher quality than Pokemon.

Just got back from seeing this movie in a staff screening at the Cinema where I work. All I can really say is that it is not just a movie but an experience. My jaw has never spent so much time on the floor. Amazing and beautiful from start to finish, everything from CGI, animations to scenery to the smallest details just amaze. It is clear that alot of thought and care has gone into this movie and that everything you see is meaningful and intentional. I had very very few miniature gripes but those are nothing but nitpicks to what has to be the most amazing movie experience in as long as I can remember. I cannot possibly recommend this any more highly! A definite 9.8/10 from me (Y)
Even though I watched it for free I can tell you it will absolutely be worth the money. If anything just to see the amazing world he has created. It is simply breathtaking!
Sorry for late reply I had to eventually get some sleep. Yeah we watched it in 3D, it was very good, it was one of those instances where it doesn't go over board trying to be all action but uses it to immerse you in the experience. 3D glasses in general annoy the crap out of me and my eyes react very negatively after I take them off but that has nothing to do with the film itself.

thats my opinion if it helps, although that does come off a bit fanboyish but its honestly only because I have very very little bad to say about it and I went in with no prior expectations (Y)

Woah posting clips and trailers on here is definitely not spamming! :rolleyes:

Again, like I said, critics are usually the HARSHEST on movies LIKE this kind. So with them majority say good things about it, I really couldn't see how so many average people would find it less better? That would be like defying the prior history.

Other than prejudice from people misjudging this movie without seeing it. And some may refusing to check it out due to that cause, being stubborn.

Anybody can explain the hype to me? looks quite mundane for me

Agreed. Other than the oh-golly-gee-whiz cutting edge CGI...what are people saying about it? I have no idea how the plot is, the story, nothing. Just people droning on and on about how neato the graphics are.

*edit*

And...karl_87 answers my query as I post. Ironic.

I'll wait for the blu-ray, regardless.

I mean, the BIGGEST attraction for me personally is Pandora, a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL Alien Planet... with tons of adventures. Absolutely AMAZING Sci-Fi/Fantasy world!!!

I absolutely also loved that aspect with Star Wars too. Hopping from planet to planet to do missions, having adventures!

My mind... I can tell you have a lot of Imagination and these things just very compatible with how my brain think!

Some of my favorite video games are in this genre (Mass Effect, Space Quest, Every Star Wars games) so I am always into this sort of stuff!

What about you? Does that interest you?

If that's not your cup of tea, well, then I can see it's just not something you are interested in a lot.

And If that's not enough. I am sure Acting is great! Action is great too! Director is probably one of the BEST of ALL time as well. There are SO MANY reasons this movie has the hype.

Only people who don't get the hype, IMO are the ones just NOT very much into Space Sci-Fi much in the 1st place.

Read what I said above!

If a very Gorgeous alien planet with promising adventures does NOT interest you a bit, then sure I can see why you are not excited.

Of course, this movie isn't for everyone. Just like Atonement/No country for Old man/Slumdog Millionare isn't for everyone either, and TBH I would prefer a Space sci-fi over a Earthly love story/Western/Comedy anytime regardless of the strength of plot, and acting.

This got me interested. So it's a movie that feels like these games? More than a simple world it's an universe? Maybe it would be a good popcorn flick, I LOVED the first three star wars movies as that

btw, curiously I'm replaying Mass Effect for the third time (Y)

I'm sure I'll sound like a broken record where reviews on this movie stand: I thought it was the most visually incredible movie I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I am going to have to see it several more times before I remotely begin to catch the things I saw. The 3d was very well done, I did get to watch in a state of the art IMAX facility, so that is sure to have made it more pleasant. This is absolutely a must in a good theater. I have no doubt in my mind this is the example that will be looked back upon for years to come.

That all being said, the story was pretty generic rubbish. That hardly seemed to matter though considering the scope of this thing. I really felt this was a true theater experience. Im sure some of the....simple minded.... :whistle: people will see it as something more than that.

Go and enjoy. Well worth the price of admission.

OMG I AM TOTALLY

SPEECHLESS!!!

Going back at 11:30!!! :o :o :o :o :o

Note the color - This movie is a MUST have experience for your Merry Christmas!!! Again, A MUST!!! :D

YOU (NOT me, NOT us) will be the one missing out if you don't go! :p

The story is A LOT better than some people give it credit for.

It's WAY better than Transformers or stupid crap like Night Of The Museum 2, etc!!!

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
