James Cameron's Avatar in 3D


Recommended Posts

just got back from our second viewing, my wife wants to see it yet again :D

Saw it 3 times!!! SINK TITANIC!!! :D

Mediocre plot/acting. The art direction for human stuff (ships, planes etc.) is average. But Pandora art direction is top notch. CGI is amazing. Watch it in 3D at least. If youremvoe the CGI, there is nothingmuch in it.

What about the Love story?

Seems like a LOT of females are packing the theaters now!

Unlike Titanic, this is a movie I can actually GO with them!!! :woot:

Watched it last night. 3D and the visuals were absolutely breathtaking. But the story was ... meh. The first one and a half hours was yawn-inducing. The Na'vi seemed to be exactly like what we call elves in fantasy literature. Even "The Hometree" (or whatever it was called) looked like Galadriel's (LOTR) empire. And the plot was seen many many times in the past ... as recently as Terminator 4 (if you focus on the story from Sam Worthington's point of view). The ending seemed forced, with the white tentacled uber-tree sending hordes of dinosaur-dragon hybrids just when they were needed - it was just too co-incidental, and very unsatisfying.

Overall, enjoyed watching it but only because of the visuals. Now that the novelty factor of the 3D and visuals have worn off, won't watch it for a second time.

i saw it recently and it was the first 3D movie i had ever seen. i didn't really know what to expect. as soon as it began i started smiling and thinking to myself 'woaahh this is cool.' twas friggin awesome. and pandora is beautiful. my eyes had orgasms. i would totally see it again. and again. only problem is.. after seeing it in 3D, i don't know if i could stand to watch it on dvd or something. meh.

i want more movies with 3D this delicious.

Damn, I went saw this evening. I found the plot and effects (3D) to be fantastic!

I rate the overall movie 5/5 and judging by the amount of cheering and applause at the end I am pretty sure I am NOT the only one who thinks that!

Haha yea, that was funny. A few ppl clapped at the end and everyone, and I mean everyone, laughed. But yea, 3d is great. I think it is the first film that I've ever seen a full cinema and I go after the "busy" hours.

Yesssss! I enjoyed the few little Real3d into's that were in 3d like the dog etc, that was pretty cool. I can't wait for it to be released. I'm guessing you need one of those special 3d TV's to display Real3d? The 3d is awesome! Much better than anything else I have ever seen although Imax comes to a close second with those major face masks they used to hand out.

I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed sitting through the movie. Sure it was great but the 3d glasses are annoying, they made them for big headed people (at least in Australia). Those with an average sized head suffered because the glasses were quite uncomfortable and weren't suited for the correct head size. After I sat down on the way back home, I realised how much I enjoyed the movie and how much I enjoyed the plot, the characters and the little bit of romance that goes on throughout the film.

All in all 4.5, maybe 5 out of 5.

I went to watch it in 3D last night. Money well spent! The plot was better than I was expecting after reading about people finding it bland. The 3D effects, CGI detail and the eye candy of Pandora was astonishing. My only criticisim was it was a bit too long. They could have cut some of the stuff from the first half of the movie to try and get it to 2 hours IMO.

Overall 9/10 from me (nobody gets a 10!)

Just got back from watching Avatar in 3D on the IMAX. I pretty much crapped bricks. Absolutely amazing from start to finish, going to see it again ASAP!

lol me too.

I watched it last week and was blown away.

Im glad to see the 3D was used to give the film depth and perception, with no cheap gimmicks of objects flying at you!

Im off to watch it again next week!

Just to add another point, I'm not sure how good this film would be without the 3D to be honest.

Close one eye (with glasses on) and you will see in 2D. Before doing this, close both eyes for about a minute so as to prevent your eye from interpolating.

The multiplex I watched in had both 2D and 3D shows. While I was waiting for the 3D show to start, I snuck into the 2D screen and watched for about 30 seconds. It looked good, until I saw the 3D one. Probably will miss 3D for every movie I see till good 3D experience becomes the norm in cinemas.

The glasses were a real pain, though. Gave me a bad headache.

I saw it yesterday. It's probably one of the best movies I ever seen. The plot is nothing new and the acting won't win any awards but the world Cameron created is just awesome and the special effects are out of this world. A definite 9.5/10.

Where do you go get the signature like 24, Lost, Firefly from?

On Topic - but I think the acting from Zoe Saldana IS really award winning worthy!

Just came back from watching it, the plot is utterly, totally, definitively, absolutely, constantly CRAP

The production is top notch, but I couldn't even enjoy that because the plot and the character development was just so damn stupid.

    • Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.
    • Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?
    • Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
