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

    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • 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.
