EPTDid anyone see the South Park episode that basically spoiled the plot a month ago? (Plot wasn't much but still)
Instead of mingling with tall blue people Cartman mingles with smurfs.

As people have said above, visually it is fucking rad. As a narrative, I think it has its moments but the context humanity is in is too ambiguous for me to call the plot anything but 'morally confused'. | ||

I just saw it aswell and it just had everything for me. The visuals im just at a loss for words, it was incredible. This may sound weird, but when the main guy was giving the speach to get the other Na Vi to go to war I got like these tingles all over my body like it was an orgasm or something. 10/10 for me. Also at the end our theatre gave it a standing ovation. | ||

Great storytelling+++ Great music+++ Great special FX+++ Great pace/flow, never gets boring! Plot is kinda superficial and makes it a little predictable with the steps the hero undertakes to stop the greedy villains.. also some parts could be a little bit more in depth. The world they created is beautiful though. I'm not very educated on this but I don't think any books were involved right? In that case thumbs up to the director for actually creating a pretty complete world  It gave enough info to actually make me want to know more about flora & fauna.For all the times you guys have been wondering why companies like Blizzard can make such awesome cinematics but nobody ever produces a full movie (next to the FF flukes) like it, it has now been done. | ||

It's good. Recommended definitely. Plot-wise, + Show Spoiler + it was a little cliche. It was also fairly predictable for me as the movie progresses (aka I could tell something was going to happen 5-10 minutes before it happened) but I missed a few twists. Still pretty good though. Reminded me of the Matrix, with the avatar shifts and all. CG is fantastic. The sense of detail they put into some of the lifeforms and landscapes is really surprising. Like, if I could give you one reason to see this movie, it's to see how stunning the film is. | ||

The graphics were the best i've ever seen ever. Easily the most immersive and grand movie experience of my life, and probably anyone who has seen it. The movie is absolutely gorgeous and will absolutely change film-making. After seeing that, seeing 2d is simply boring. One thing I loved was the detail that went into the movie. Just imagine all the work that went into designing dozens of creatures and plant life, alongside all the human technology and creating a whole language. I can't imagine a movie with more detail put in it than this one. Worth watching so you can sit back years from now and say "i saw this technology when it was new!" | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.viruscomix.com/kalideiamafkuk.jpg) That said, I am a fan of CG so I may go see this movie even if the plot / etc may be overcooked garbage and sounds like it's from an FPS game. | ||
