KoL Veteran Posted January 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 24, 2010 Finally watched the movie and I enjoyed it. I thought there were not going to be a lot of people watching it but it was full. The plot is not the best one, same with the acting but visually is stunning. Not sure it really deserve that Golden Globe. Still enjoyed it and going to get it on Blu-Ray. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/801052-james-camerons-avatar-in-3d/page/26/#findComment-592150704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 So I went and saw it for a second time, this time 3d... I didn't feel any "innovative" 3d experience, the commercials for "3d cinema, put your glasses on now" felt much more "wow"... Visuals were nice though 3d or not CGI was good :) Though I wouldn't recommend anyone to go watch it strictly based on visual as acting and plot are meh...

Roger H. Veteran Posted January 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2010 I saw it twice and after seeing the videos above i'm even more stoked. I just loved how Zoey did a great job and the whole capture the emotion of their faces and put that on. You can see their eyes twinkle and all that, you can almost feel the love between the CGI characters. The part when she found out Jake already knew about the coming doom was just classic. Zoey definitely rocked that part too and it translated perfectly to the CGI character.

max84 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I saw it a third time last Friday, and it was just as exciting and emotional as the first time. This film is simply great in every aspect. It's truly a perfect experience. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/801052-james-camerons-avatar-in-3d/page/26/#findComment-592152664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted January 25, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 25, 2010 If I've looked right, it's taken $200m in the last 3 days. I reckon there's a slight delay between the public lists like the Wikipedia one and http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ , so I say it's already done it. At this pace, it'll do $2bn no problem.

max84 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yes, it looks like this will be the first movie ever to cross $2 billion. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/801052-james-camerons-avatar-in-3d/page/26/#findComment-592152744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, Mrs. Doubtfire is at slot 99 on that list! :) But I agree, Avatar will break $2 billion, because it's not slowing down that much and still has a lot of time left in the box office.

Growled Member Posted January 25, 2010 Member Share Posted January 25, 2010 If you go back to some of the earlier posts in this thread most of us was hyped about the movie but we had no idea if it would do good commercially or not. I don't any of us would have dreamed it would make $2 billion.

I was really impressed with her role in the film.

Lqv2015 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Quoting a few post from members I thought was funny. Has Jedi serve some of you your delicious plate of crows yet? PS I'm only doing this for fun. Don't kill me. :rofl: Victor Rambo This movie will surpass Titanic in worldwide box-office. Minifig No.. it won't. If you ask me, Cameron's suffering from Lucasitus. He's doing way too much CGI to cover up for the lack of story. Look closely and you'll see Jar Jar Binks in a couple of frames. Xero I think the movie is going to blow harder than Paris Hilton.. ..sorry jedi Rappy I really do hope this movie isn't all about hype and then fails at the cinema! Growled I may be wrong, and often am, but I think this might either be one of the biggest game changing films in history, or one of it's biggest duds. I don't think there will be any middle ground. .KICK Why do I have the feeling that this movie will not meet expectations both critics and sales wise! DeathSniper Not really feeling this movie at all, full of 3D Gimmicks. I'm still holding out for a real 3D film that uses 3D to push the story, not exploit it. kawasabi Blow my mind the old fashioned way. If you need to do it in 3D you failed imo. Orange Do you guys think this or 2012 will get biggest money from box office? MindTrickz So far this movie has cost $500 million Dollars to make. I'm not too sure it can make all that money back and also having watched the trailers, i just don't see 500 million dollars worth of production. Cameron's Titanic cost $250 million dollars and made 1.8 billion so i i guess we'll have to wait and see. excalpius Jim is reinventing cinema. He doesn't care about the money. +warwagon I showed my mom and my dad that new trailer. They both said it looks stupid, it just looks like a video game. Minifig So.. guys. Just out of curiosity.. What happens if this is a three hour long bomb? Rappy It will do well but making its money back might not happen, but it won't bomb bomb Ayepecks I'm really letdown with the CGI... I mean, it's not bad by any means, but I was expecting it to be as revolutionary as the supposed 3D elements are going to be. Still really looking forward to this simply because of Cameron. I think it will be a slight flop in that it won't get nearly as much money as they think it will, however. Most of my friends aren't even remotely interested in it. guru Avatar = FAIL http://www.trustedreviews.com/editorial/2009/12/13/Avatar-Fails-to-Sell-3D/p1 +Anarkii I have no interest in this movie what so ever. Ever since True Lies, Cameron hasn't made a movie worth watching at all. Dr. Gonzo Looks like another mediocre film from a director who didn't know when to quit while he was ahead. I predict you'll see 'Avatar' action figures overflowing in the clearance bins of stores by february. ShamRocker1 I will not be watching this. Same Hollywood crap thrown on unsuspecting movie goers. I'll wait for the DVD version. neudera This movie fails. +Phantom Helix™ This movie cost $240 million to make lol :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/801052-james-camerons-avatar-in-3d/page/26/#findComment-592154772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted January 25, 2010 Member Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) I least I got the game changing part right. :D It's now surpassed Dark Knight as the #2 movie of all time here in the US and is definitely headed toward Titanic. It was #1 for the 6th straight week and made $36 million last week.It also needs only 2 million to surpass Titanic worldwide.

KiHu Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Watched it this weekend in 3D. Unfortunately(or fortunately hurr hurr) I did not pay much attention to the story, since I was more interested in the visuals and the 3d, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting the 3D to be worse, but it overshot my expectations (who wasn't very high to begin with). But yeah, since I'm going to go watch it another time this week (in 3d aswell) ill be paying more attention to the movie. Unless I get too distracted by my female colleague that im bringing with me. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/801052-james-camerons-avatar-in-3d/page/26/#findComment-592156300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
