Just go watch it without any expectations, with a clean slate. I find it ridiculous how people keep criticizing everything excluding the visuals. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + From the heli-chick rebelling to him riding the big beasty, the final fight with the major, to the bigger storyline where he makes it as a member of the society, him falling in love, fighting with the group he set out to explore Everything was "to be expected", and altho I do agree the acting isnt bad, the dialogue is just horrible. Combine that with some other cheese and I'd say those are some fairly valid notes for this movie. Wether or not that makes the movie still worth watching or not is an entirely different debate. (and one that I would answer with yes) | ||

I wouldn't shut up about it the whole movie and at the end amazingly, credits roll, in association with Dune Entertainment. dont care if they dont actually have anything to do with Dune, im satisfied. Wow, that's cool.. I didn't know this before but now that you mention it, it's a very similar story. But it doesn't have all the intrigue that goes on between the houses and assassination attempts which was a good side plot. It was a pretty good movie though.. I'm going to see it again since the 3d was sold out today  the only part that really made me cringe was "unobtainium" which sounded like a placeholder name they forgot to replace later.. seriously, they went to the trouble of making a whole language for the blue people, and they couldn't bother to come up with a word that was already used? Seriously, it's like naming your main character "Protagonist"  | ||

They're like some weird cross between night elves and protoss. The one battle near the end with the colonel in the robot was like a marine fighting a zealot with no shields or psi blades, heh | ||

And I'm pretty sure the whole point was to use that word, don't get so hung up on something so trivial. | ||

Look, the story is not that good, really, if you've seen Dances with Wolves and many other movies, or even if you haven't... you'll still know whats going to happen, there's no big revelation, everything in this movie is very very predicable. But the visuals... omg the visuals :-) I recommend watching the movie in 3D to anyone! How he explores the wildlife... it really feels like you're the one walking in that strange planet. Infact, I'd probably rather watch it as a national geographic fantasy planet exploration without a big story... :-) Ya, I like that some others are making the connections to other similar story-line movies, like "Dances with Wolves", "Fern Gully" or even "The Last Samurai".. All about 1 civilization about to be destroyed and it's ppl, being less-capable of surviving it, going on a 1 big last ditch effort to fight back etc.. However, I just got done watching it over the internet and the quality wasn't that great, but I actually liked it overall.. Took me a bit to get into the whole 9-10 ft. tall characters, seemingly looking half human and half cat-like.. but the worlds, colors, effects, overall play of the movie was good! Was quite skeptical about it and didn't think i'd like it.. Turns out i'll prolly be owning it when it comes out =) | ||

The CGI is top notch that is for sure since James Cameron did wait about 10 years to make this movie. What kinda bugged me is how uncreative the designers were for this movie. You would think that the planet Pandora would be exotic (which it is sort of), but it had way too many animals similar to Earth's. I understand that it is kinda hard to make a unique creature, but at least try a little besides taking a lion and just change the face or whatever. I am the type of person that likes long movies, but the pacing of "Avatar" was kinda dull until near the end. Not because of the action, but it just felt like the purpose of the main character was finally happening. Overall the movie will be an instant buy when it comes out on blu-ray for me. | ||
