Question: Was it a visual orgasm?

btw the "bad" guy with the white hair and the kickass attitude would be a fine candidate if they ever made a starcraft movie. He is so like a marine going into a goliath

Seeing it soon.
Visually, my expectations are very high.
not so much for story though. I'm hoping for an "Abyss Light"

Just went to see it. Visually, it just blew me away. The first 3 minutes it took some getting used to, after that it just felt normal but damn did those graphics blow me away. The world is insanely beautifull, and I was very pleased and surprised at how smoothe they made it all feel. When the halftime pause came in I was absolutely thrilled, the characters were a bit lame, the story was hella-predictable and there were some terrible one-liners, but I happily forgave it all because of the graphics.

Second half however, I couldnt forgive anymore. The predictability, the horrible dialogues, and some really, REALLY lame things (a mech warrior pulling a huge knife after losing its gun?) just had me facepalming, and no amount of visual splendour could compensate. In the end, I think everyone should just go and watch it for the insane visuals, its really worth it. If you can I think you should leave during the pause so you keep that "HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME" feeling, altho ofcourse no1 will manage that ^^ Stunning display of what's possible, but with the storyline of Pocahontas and quotes that could come from Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness it did leave me a bit dissapointed.
I'm a man of my word, and that word is "unreliable".

Such a good movie, especially visually. The predictability sucked, but it was still a fun story and super entertaining in my books. I agree with inc, would watch that for 10 hours.

Just saw it on a big IMAX screen (Pathé Arena for the Dutchies) in 3D. Holy shit this might've been the best cinema experience in my life.

Awesome awesome graphics and I liked the whole story as well. I hardly take notice on those things people always criticize like most of the stuff Promises mentioned (unless it's super obvious of course) so I enjoyed it. I definitely felt for the characters, especially the actress that played Neytiri, I think she delivered a really good performance.

Just saw it. I was blown away by the visuals, like everybody else. I thought Cameron did a nice job making the impressive 3-D effects seamless (as in it wasn't forced).

Story spoiler:

As for the story, I thought it was Dance with Wolves meets Dinotopia. Certainly a huge liberal bias, and as a result of that, I think it's not going to live up to the expectations of critics and general populace alike. If they had a story that was more sympathetic to humans (like Aliens), then I think people would identify with it a lot better.

Just saw it in 3d

you know what ? this is the Concord of the movies - as a movie its fucked up and flawed. But as a concept, its brilliant, its fresh, its revolutionary

I think identifying is not really a problem in this movie because the Na'vi are so much alike the humans. They're just bigger and they are blue. Apart from that they have the same kind of emotions and all that.

The plot doesnt really matter.

Avatar is a technical achievement - it opened the door and showed the way. It will inspire so many movies in the years to come and thats all that matter. The very fact that Avatar was made is a triumph of mankind. It takes the cinematic experience to a whole new level and from now on, Avatar will be the benchmark, when it comes to visual effects and entertainment.

This movie is beyond what we thought was possible before, and just because of this , you should go and watch it in 3d
