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

    • 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.
