:p To ALL the Judgemental (And Wrong) people and doubters LOOK at the reviews are STELLAR AS HELL!!!

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.

The fact there are no early reviews of this before release worries me seriously, this could be one hell of a christmas turkey.
And an early review from someone who's seen the film says its plot is almost non-existent, but it's like the biggest first-person shooter ever. And:

What we have is: Boy meets alien through marines, boy loses aliens and marines, boy fights marines and gets girl. And I was also told that despite all the trappings of special effects, blue people and CGI skies, Sigourney Weaver still manages to register strongly with warmth and a commanding presence.

I am sure we all know what happens but just incase more peeps complain :p

More CG? :x
So.. guys.

Just out of curiosity..

What happens if this is a three hour long bomb?

The same thing as a 1.5 hour long bomb except twice as much.
Am I the only one that thinks that this movie doesn't look good? And if the leaked plot is right, that doesn't make it look any better.
Meh. Doesn't really look that impressive - atleast not to the level its been hyped up to be.

I was reading several reviews and most of the reviewers seem to have gone into the theater wanting to hate it, but they all came out gushing about it. Even those who felt the plot was thin had a lot of other nice things to say about it.

thats hillarious :D

Im still crying :D Seriously - that was hilarious :D

But on a more serious note - highly recommend interview with Cameron about Avatar and.. *khem* some of the 14 years in making :D Also explains the revolutionary part, which i have to agree is quite groundbreaking from what hes saying.

I sure hope then whenever dvd and bluray comes out thers ****loads of extras, as i could listen to him for hours.

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.

When have you actually seen sole movie successfully launching a toy series that actually has legs to withstand the test of time? I maybe a bit out of the age when toys were interesting, but seriously now. No movie alone unless its made based on some franchise with huge legacy like the ones from Marvel, DC or Hasbro can make it. Well, unless its those sideshow collectibles $$$ busts.

I have no idea how the public will respond to this film. I don't think anyone does.

Because that's the best he can do, apparently. He almost behaves like a crazy Mac fanatic.

Really, I think people are just too sad & judgemental!!! That's the Problem with humanity! I will NEVER go out and judge some **** I don't know enough about yet I see people do it all the time like they are expert. *SIGH*

"OMG this movie looks like a Video game!!!"

Yeah have you ever in your life even played a Video game?

"OMG CGI MUST equal SUCK! NO Plot and Bad Acting I am sure!!!"

So you think Terminator 2 sucked? Or Lord Of The rings?

Yeah, you must really have POOR taste in movies, then.

There are ALWAYS people doubting, or judge movies like this... Senselessly!

Thank GOD these critics are very positive about this movie!!!

And movie is grabbing awards already!!!

Some people need LEARN they shouldn't be so judgemental and really know what you are talking about.

Like, there are NO video games gameplay graphics quality comparable to CGI of these movies, period. So, saying that it looks like a Video Game complete make you look stupid from all the gamers who actually has PLAYED games!!!

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
