James Cameron's Avatar in 3D


Recommended Posts

Well, I was about to see the movie, but JediXAngel killed all my interest. No movie should be hyped this much, not even Mel Brooks' films (which are the best movies ever made).

yeah I think the over hype is killing it for me, it's everywhere at least with Star Trek it wasn't over hyped and I loved it.

I was just listening to Mark Kermode review it in which people called it "Fern Gully in 3D" :rofl:

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.

I love Sci-Fi, Movies and TV like Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar, (hell, i'll even throw in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century :D) Sci-Fi Games, Books, Graphic Novels etc.

But I'm not hyped for this Movie at all, I'm going to go see it, and I hope it will be good, but I don't see why its going to be the next coming of sliced bread. :p

And I understand you like it, but please calm down with the giant fonts etc, it doesn't help your cause at all.

Just got back from Watching it, did not see it in 3D because the theatre didn't start 3d untill 3:30 pm, anyway Im not impressed in the least.

Super cool effects YES.

Lots of action, YES.

Industry changing film, NO.

Did it make me really feel for the characters or invoke some level of emotion, YES.

Is it an original story that will stand the test of time, NO. It's cowboys and indians in space (or rather space age) for cripes sake, John Wayne would be proud but i've seen this core story to many times to count in films.

Will i buy this film on blu-ray, well MAYBE, I may buy the blu-ray 3D version once i upgrade to a 3D capable TV however like alot of people say 3D really is a gimmick.

I am now looking forward to Tron legacy and IronMan 2 even more than i was before since this film did not meet my expectations, which is rare, usually i am blown away.

I opted out of Avatar and went and saw The Princess and the Frog. Money well spent.

I don't follow the hype, and the hype for Avatar is too insane.

The "industry changing film" was ALL ABOUT THE 3D.... Maybe you should have waited until 3:30 pm to see it in 3D.

I think you have mistaken the 3D (As in polarized 3D glasses) for the 3D CGI Visual effects what was supposed to be "Industry changing", yes those 3D CGI is by far ahead of any movie to date, but not enough to "Change the Industry"

nothing about how the film will be displayed in 3D in theaters digital or not is new, in fact the technology has existed and been in use for quite some time.

EDIT:

Ok I take that back it was shot with new stereoscopic cameras, still not really that industry changing, i will wait till after the 18th and go see it in IMAX 3D, but i don't think my opinion will change

*SIGH* Sounds like some of you really need to GROW up, NOT me!

"I will hate this movie a lot just cuz JediXAngel is Hyping it"??? WOW!!

If that's the whole mentality of you guys for you honestly not liking this movie... Sounds so 3rd grade-ish with this ridiculous attitude! :no: :no: :no:

:no::no::no::no::no::no::no:

Just correcting Jedi's post, he was missing a few more smilies.

Here's a visual explanation to most of your posts. Can you guess which one you are? and who everyone else is?

:huh::huh::huh::huh::jump::huh::huh::huh::huh:

I just got back from watching it. This movie is great! One of the most visually stunning movies i have seen. The story is good, better in my opinion than a lot give credit for; however i will say that the story does not make this movie amazing. The characters and the believability of pandora is what makes this movie amazing. Reading the emotion off of their faces, their smiles. It all was natural and believable. Not once did i sit and think that they were generated.

I will also say that i haven't been to many 3d movies (maybe 1 back in 96) but this was simply a joy to see in 3d. Many scenes left me with a smile on my face and multiple times had me panning my head to look around at what was in the room, or in the forest as if i were there.

I would recommend that everyone see this if they get a chance, it's a really fun movie.

I wonder if Black people going to watch this movie will notice that the girl is acted by a Black actress, if they didn't already knew?

They might think it's a white actress because Sam Worthington is white.

Great acting by Zoe Saldana she is one of the BEST Black actresses now, Halle Berry MOVE OVER!!!

Fern Gully in 3D? I sure hope not. :D

I think the movie has been over hyped as well. Even on here. :D

Just came back from seeing it. If you do not watch this in 3D, it'll probably be another movie. However, watching this thing in 3D was just absolutely amazing. The most visually stunning movie I have ever seen. I would say 100% of the movie is in 3D. Even the sub-texts were freaking in 3D, amazing.

This storyline has probably played before. However, it's not about the plotline, but the creation of Pandora which is the star. Cameron makes this visually aesthetic and stunning masterpiece. I would say this is more stunning than LOTR series. The environment and the animals are a joy to watch.

Overally, I would give this a 4.5/5. Definitely worth watching. But watch in on the IMAX, you're jaw will drop.

I bet you it will.

Just out of curiosity (I haven't seen anyone mention this, or don't remember seeing anyone mention this), but to see this movie in 3D, does it require 3D glasses? I wear normal glasses and I took my younger sister to see Up in 3D over the summer, and it was really uncomfortable sitting there for an hour and 10-20mins with glasses on top of glasses. It'd be torture to do it for almost 3hrs lol.

If you go to a digital 3D theater they have "over the glasses 3D glasses" you know like those big haunkin black granny glasses or safety glasses, except they are flat of course.

Im sure they diminish the 3D effect some though

    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
