James Cameron's Avatar in 3D


Recommended Posts

This film just goes on. I watched the 3D version but like other 3D films it lets down badly. The plot was okay and it was a decent film, but it certainly wasn't anything special let alone anything as good as it was hyped up to be. Recommend to watch the 2D version only.

I don't mean to sound like some people here, BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT? I mean, other than probable eye problems, that might stand in way of full experience.

7 out of 10. Predictable story, but could've been far worse. Graphics were unbelievable. You couldn't tell you were looking at CG humans, and it didn't feel like it was over two and a half hours. I definitely recommend seeing it on the big screen, and if possible, 3D. Seeing it on anything else doesn't it do it justice visually.

I typically would not comment or add my opinion or review of any movie, however after seeing this in IMAX 3D on Friday evening I feel compelled to add to the hype of just how good this movie is.

To be almost immediately pulled INTO the movie from the initial first few minutes enough to make me forget the turmoil of day to day living, bills, work, etc, etc and not let me come back down to reality until the credits started rolling was a quite amazing.

Typically you watch a movie and lot of times things happen that you either relate to in real life or it makes you think about something similar in your life.... this movie did none of that, it draws you in and gives you front row seats as everything unfolds. I was literally consumed by what was happening in the movie to even think about anything else other than what was happening.

The storyline was very good and though not so unpredictable at moments, it was how those predictable moments were played out and the detail of how it was done.

This movie was over the top and in one word.. in my own opinion - STUNNING

I will pay to see it again and will even say that this is by far probably the BEST movie I have ever seen. That is a far fetch but I stand by it.

Go see it and you wont be dissapointed even if you think you wont like it. It is quite simply just that good

Jedi, as much as I agree with you about this movie... you need to let people say what they want. That's why this forum is here, and it's best not to get worked up over them saying things you disagree with.

I've seen this twice already and I will likely finally be seeing it in IMAX this week. I can't wait :D

Cheaper?

Well, yes. But then again its like going to Disneyland just to have few cones of ice-cream and a drink. Price difference shouldn't be that big to keep you away from 3d version of movie that has been built as one from ground up.

Just saw it tonight, have to say its the best film I have seen all year, even tops Transformers and Star Trek for me! 3D was epic :D

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!!!

I never compared Avatar to Transformers or Heroes. I was saying that you go overboard everytime there is a hyped movie or show out. You completely freak out dude. lol Calm down as other people have said.

We all know Transformers movie has much less plots.

It's a movie based on Toys.. I mean, how deep could the plot be?

Transformers did EXACTLY what it's suposed to do. Have Great FX and Action, aided by 'Decent' (NOT Great, NOT Oscar-worthy, NOT Mortal Kombat 2 like either) acting.

No one sane is going to say it's a great movie in terms of being Oscar-worthy like this movie IS.

And, GOD I just can't stop thinking about Avatar!!! The NEW Star Wars for me indeed! :o

Yeah, but I am REALLY happy females are loving it! :wub: :D

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes.

MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction.
