If you haven't seen Avatar yet...

What the heck are you waiting for???

Went with the wife to see it last night, and I was completely blown away. A good story, with absolutely amazing visuals. I thought the whole 3d thing was going to be a little hokey, but I was amazed by how nice it was.

I would definitely recommend that you see this movie if you are even "kinda sorta" thinking about it. You won't be disappointed!

Looks pretty cool, but I don't usually pay for movies. Will happily DL in 4-6 months!!

I'm big into 3d graphics, I can't wait till this comes out on bluray... I hate movie theaters, I can't sit still long enough to watch a whole movie I usually have to pause half way through and get up for a few minutes so theaters don't really accommodate my needs. Can't wait to see this though!

Just watched this last night on the 'puter. OMG! It is an awesome movie. The graphics were incredible, and the colors. This movie is one I'd buy to add to a collection and watch over and over. Each new viewing you see something different.

Saw this in imax 3d, and it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Absolutely amazing, amazing story, as well as the visuals being beatiful. I would recommend seeing this in theaters, not dling a crappy quality copy on the net. I'm gonna have to see it again, given the choice of seeing anything in the movies, or avatar for the 2nd or third time I would go see avatar.

 

[AngusATAT]

I agree. It blew me away. I've definitely got to see it in the theater again.

 

[DinosaurVapor]

Well, you've convinced me, I'll take the parents there tomorrow night =]

Avatar needs to be seen in 3D. The story is good, but it is the way it is filmed in 3D. It pulls you in. It puts you in the movie. Go see it. The movie is magic.

Would it be worth seeing without the 3D? I've got only one eye, so no 3D for me!

 

[bladeangel87]

It would still be better than the other movies playing w/out 3D. Going to watch it again tomorrow with a few friends.

To be honest with you, I was so immersed in the graphics that I paid no attention at all to the 3D. Sometimes I removed the goggles to make sure there was 3D. Really great movie.

And that's the opinion I wanted to hear about paying extra to go the IMAX route. Thank you for that.

well, it was 3D but on a regular screen, not IMAX. Maybe that is why the 3D did not get me. The point is this movie is quite awesome, no matter the format.

 

[bladeangel87]

Saw it for the 2nd time last night with a few friends who hadn't seen it, it really is a beautiful movie. Also it wasn't the usual stuff jumps out and pretends to kick you in the face type of 3D like someone above said, but I want to say the 3D helped make everything so aesthetically pleasing.

 

[MHR7331]

Wow, had no idea it was in 3d... may have to check it out now.

Thanks for the update. I'm probably going to see it this weekend, barring snow keeps the mother-in-law from flying home the 25th.

I like the IMAX because along with the bigger screen, they tune the sound to the theater.

IMAX is definitely the best route, I watched it opening night at the 12:01 viewing, (the first viewing)

It was the shix, Hands down great movie. Definitely go IMAX go big or go home.

I finally got the MIL shipped back home, and got a chance to go see it (apparently with everyone else around here), IMAX was freaking sold out for the next 2 showings. But even with the standard 3D, all I can say is WOW! JC has really knocked one out of the park with this one. Even the wife is willing to shell out more to go see it again in IMAX. The CG work in this is truly remarkable.

I loved Avatar !

I saw this last night, but not in 3D. I bet that was pretty cool. I forgot they offered it in 3D, but I did say to my husband that it probably was, considering some of the scenes -classic 3D action.

The story was basically "Dances with Wolves" on another planet, but the world itself was a huge part of the story visually. I was a little disappointed with the lack of creativity with the creatures - the film maker had the whole universe to choose from and he basically made creatures that mirrored earth creatures, but with lots of fangs and really big. I would have thought he would talk to biologists and scientists knowledgable in evolution to come up with some really unique lifeforms for another planet! But, it was still a lot of fun to watch!!
