James Cameron's Avatar in 3D


Recommended Posts

Well saw it today, normal, no 3-d, wasn't mindblowing, But it kept me entertained for 2 hours and 40 minutes i'd say... As a movie i'd rate it 7/10. Maybe when I see it with the "mind blowing 3-d effects" it will be an 8... I will nitpick however, on how at sometimes the CGI looks REALLY BAD, seconds maybe, but enough to make it noticeable, that bad part of this is, for the most part the movie has very good CGI, so little scenes with bad CGI take away good credit...

But seriously people, go see it, I had low, really low expectations when I first saw the trailers. :)

Anyway... my 2cents, I just saw it cause there was nothing else to watch and came out, satisfied :)

Edit: And yup, it definitely is overhyped :)

Anyone like some more Neytiri pics? :D

I am NOT saying she is Hot just say she is very believable CG in the movie very real!

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)

+100. I was pulled into the movie's action so much that I couldn't bring myself to get up from my seat for anything! I normally go for a soda refill during slower scenes in many films, but I just couldn't with this one. I came out of the movie wishing that the planet Pandora really existed and that I could live there! That was pure epicness!! :)

LOL I LOVE the movie so much, but paint yourself blue is a bit too crazy!

Visually stunning, but the story is a bit lame, basically a Cowboys and Indians film, except these Indians are blue and 10 foot tall, oh and the Indians win (don't think I'm spoiling the plot there, it's obvious that's the outcome before you've seen the film). But still a film worth seeing.

Ok. Im usually dont follow the hype but with this, because cameron (terminator 2 AND aliens, nothing more) I went to the teather. Well, and that was me, watching for about 3 hours in "3D" (note the quotes) a sad cartoon. If is this the upcomming cameron, well, he will be dead for me. Looks like he takes all his old "good" memories/moments and makes them bigger. Meaning, the ships from alines and terminator here are bigger (the bigger, the better?, of course not) and at least to me are a lot less elaborated that were in the old times (because they were real, and not an stupid CGI). The helicopters are simple ridiculous, the "lost" chick acts like she knows, bad. Weaver is getting even worse in her acting. In general the acting is really bad. But the have they excuse that are watching (for a few moments, because the movie is a cartoon and the real ppl is not there most of the time) a BIG green screen. And you note that.

The story is flat, predictable and lame. The characters are flat too.

If you sum all of that (the "3D" thing (note the quotes), the lame story, the bad acting/characters) what you get?. A really and expensive movie. But because is a cameron movie, this would be the best making money movie of the history. I could bet that. The ppl go to the teather like zombies, because of the hype.

And for sure you will cry, like me, because they wont give you your money back (this time I couldnt fight that much, because were a lot of the ppl waiting in the line).

I rather Ice age (which is was bad).

Only good if you are 12 years old (or if you are mentally in that age)

Under your Avatar

From: Hell

Indeed...

This must be TOO Beautiful, too Heavenly of a movie for you to like since you are from HELL appearantly. :p

I bet you want to see a HELL-like Pandora that's all zombies and demons and lifeless trees and plants! :p

BTW, aren't you also the one say Lost sucks?

Avatar was imo a truly stunningly beautiful movie and no movie thus far has come even close to the amount of CG character/world detail(a close 2'nd is Beowulf) and really makes you believe that the world is alive just full of life. My ONLY issue with the movie was that did the Navi people even know that the Avatar's were not truly Navi people? Maybe I missed that part but to me it did not seem that they were even aware that they were not truly real. Other then that it was flawless and I am DEFIANTLY going to see it again, this time on an IMAX!

Not everyone has to like the movie just because you've gone overboard with it.

don't worry about Jedi... he overrates every movie that the media overhypes. i.e Transformers, Heroes.. etc.

I am sorry don't judge when you don't know what you are talking about, but I DO really think Avatar is MUCH BETTER in terms Quality than Transformers and Heroes are!!!

I Love Transformers for the fact that it's very action packed and FX with the Transformers are really Cool, but nothing about the Drama is anywhere close to this Avatar movie!

Drama, acting, plot, suspense is certainly WAY better here in Avatar than Transformers!

So, of course I am NOT putting Avatar and Transformers in the same boat that's just NOT true!

And Heroes, I also never said that was a masterpiece either. In fact, I always believed LOST is better... so both judgements are WRONG!!!

It only matters if Stanley Kubrick shares his opinion, and good luck with that.

So far I've heard that Avatar is just Pocahontas but with CG.

And your post in Movie Ratings

Avatar is a boring movie. The effects are beautiful, the rest sucks. I fell asleep.

The only good movie JC has done is Terminator 2.

Please STOP trolling! :|

WOM on facebook and twitter is INSANELY good. Women especially love it.

go to facebook and search Avatar on the top right search , then on menu on left choose Posts by Everyone and it streams every status with the word avatar. 30-40 statuses a second and its like 1000 to 1 Awesome to Bad ratio

you are clearly trolling here. First you say that you have heard Avatar is like pocahontas in 3D but 2 hours before in movie ratings you write that you fell asleep. Mods please.

I think they did, hell they kinda have 5 fingers instead of the navi's 4 lol. The chief mentioned he was a "dream walker". Obviously the entire clan doesn't know of the process; only the head people. Becuase it was a more recent activity. Thats why there was a translation at the end becuase only certain people of the navi would speak english. And if you noticed Tsu mentioned he was a demon in a false body.

They knew. Gracie was there teaching in that body for awhile also.

Definatly see it in IMAX 3d. I heard it will have a 3 month or so run. I plan on seeing it again.

And its fern gully people get it right ;)

Enough with comparing this movie to other movies...

Originality these days are very very rare, almost nothing is original anymore. EVERY movie borrows some from other ideas be it movies, books, or culture references.

James Cameron need to not tell you something originial in order to be Awesome. He just need to use references to create something NEW that's Masterpiece worthy.

Like in College, the essay you write get an A++, SAME principle, I mean it's not original but your OWN version of what you referenced from other sources.

It's TRUE though what I say...

Even Lost, the BEST TV show I consider with mind-blowing plots it borrows from other resources to make up the plot for the show's Awesomeness!!!

It's not orginal, but how it combines other resources to make up the plot is done completely in MIND-BLOWING fashion!

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
