    Default Avatar Movie

    I will but it bluntly, the best movie I have ever seen in my life.
    It's the most visually beautiful movie made to date. Looking at the forest is like looking at real life... or a life we all wish we had.
    The people look so real it's as if they are all actors.
    The story line is pretty predictable but that's not the point, there wasn't 10 seconds of boredom at one time for the entire movie and I cannot say that about any LOTR, Star Wars, Star Trek or any Johnny Depp movie have seen. If you have not seen this movie or are on the wall about seeing it I would say go. I saw it in IMAX 3D which is wonderful, it shows great depth and you get to see how Alice and Wonderland will look (looks so sick in 3D).
    Anyone else seen it and have comments?

    Made a deal with my boyfriend that we wouldn't see it until the weekend. The story isn't what I would call attractive, but the visuals, oh wow. The trailer gets me pretty excited.

    A few of my friends have been able to see it and they essentially summed it up as they shat themselves. Story wise I really think most ideas have been played out so that doesn't bother me, can't wait to see it myself.

    The 3D version is the ONLY VERSION you should see. The whole concept of immersion is so well achieved with the absolutely stunning level of this movie, that you get totally absorbed into it. I went with a group of friends and NONE of us had even touched out drinks when we walked out of the cinema. We FORGOT to eat our M&Ms and popcorn. That's how amazing this movie is.

    Agreed, story-wise it has major cliches. And a lot of concepts are translated into something WE (the audience) can easily understand. Things that apply to our experience here on earth anno 2009/2010. But the level of DETAIL, not just in the animation but also in all the movements, expressions, step-by-step actions that made the actors look like they were FROM that place. They took all the detail that much further than all science-fiction films so far!



    In fact it makes me want to draw again...
    (haven't drawn in nearly 2 years)

    You forgot District 9, which was also great.


    I don't know the exact premise of Avatar. I thought it was some video game/movie adaptation and the commercials were saying it was as great as Titanic... But I will say this does look interesting.

    It just looks too predictable to me.

    Though if someone wanted me to go with them, I probably would.

    Kenshin I gotta admit I kinda felt the same way after, I just cannot believe how beautiful the landscape was, these are those type of movies you are happy they make long (unlike some that are long because they have to follow a book). I don't know if people should go to this expecting a great story, I thought the story was beautiful in how it was told but of course the one down side anyone can find (reviewers) is that the story is to common, but what would one expect? 90% of movies that are made now adays have plainly obvious storylines. This movie just makes you think, which is weird for me to do after an "action" movie.
