Saw the movie last night, very worth seeing. Yes, the plot isnt hard to guess but the effects and james-cameron-no-bull-scenes was well worth my time

Run time was somewhat over 2,5 hours, but i enjoyed every moment of it

Mark Kermode he say .... "Wow!"

His film of the week too.

I see you!

You need to see this movie in 3D, it is simply astonishing.

The plot may just be Dances With Wolves in space, but Cameron totally manages to pull it off - awesome.

Indeed!

Saw it on Friday night in 3D at the London IMAX.  Visually stunning, and utterly unlike anything you may have seen before.

The plot is basically Dances with Wolves in space, as mentioned here already, but that is in no way a bad thing.

Staggering - just don't leave it so long next time, please Jim.

I have to say, I went to see it in 2D on Thursday and then 3D on Saturday to see what the difference was and I actually preferred the 2D version. To be more specific, there were lots of points in the 3D version where the object the cameras were focused on was not the closest thing in the scene (the most obvious example to me was one of the scenes when he was talking to his video log camera). In 2D this is fine, as your eyes are actually focused on the flat screen. In 3D, I found my eyes kept trying to focus on the object closest to me. Only briefly, just to check it out and then move back to what the director wanted me to focus on, but the fact that even when I 'focused' on the close object it was all blurry gave me a mild headache throughout the first 2/3 of the film. I'm not sure whether the last third just didn't involve such drastic up close differences or whether my brain had finally got used to the 3D view, but I didn't actually notice much 3D-ness at all for the last 1/3. If i'm not noticing it as particularly more impressive than the 2D version when it's 'working right', what's the point?

Loved the film though. Was really weird how much the Avatars looked like the real actors, which is apparently to do with the way they did the CGI. Instead of being fully computer generated, they took scans of the actual actors bodies and then applied certain distoring and stretching algorithms to create the alien shape. Though to add extra oddity to that, the woman who played the main female alien (Zoe Saldana, she played Uhura in the new Star Trek as well) is not someone who I personally find attractive, but I thought Neytiri was hot :dribble:.

Also, Sigourney Weaver. I'm sure I shouldn't think someone old enough to be my mother is smoking hot. But she is.

saw it last night in 3D...... WOW !!

my first experience of a full length 3d movie and was totally blown away.

simple breathtaking :blink:

Indeed, its a 10/10 film for me. Simply amazing worth the 10 year production time and the 1/4 billion price tag.

I'm off to Brum on the 23rd to watch it in 3D at the imax, I think my brain might melt.

Watched it twice now. though a bit of the magic is gone the 2nd time (maybe because it was only 2.5 weeks ago), nonetheless awesome movie, not because of its story (which is pretty ordinairy) but even more the whole fantasy world and how everything moves etc.

First time I watched it in 3d in a regular movie theater, the 2nd time at an IMAX theater, with a huge screen, better sound and more realistic glasses (they don't have a red/green glasses, but one with special glass which allows you to see sharper (each glass give a 3d effect, rather then the combination of both colloured glasses)

I thought all 3D cinemas these days used polarised lenses or whatever rather than red/green. Haven't seen different coloured for each eye in about 10 years.

Welcome to Holland, we get all the good stuff, years later.

Unless you count in the sex drugs and rock(and roll), that we have plenty of, and we are very progressive in that. As now 10 years later, even states in America is going to legalise it (and listen to it again).

absolutely stunning, 11/10 from me
