EPTI hear people saying this is an awesome movie or the best movie they've seen, that is just ridiculous in my opinion.

No..Not really. Then who's going to do it? Until we've actually done such a thing, we wouldn't know how much utility it would have for the film industry. Where would film be if nobody thought that adding sound to The Jazz Singer was a good thing? I view the film as one huge brochure for the different aspects of 3D filming and digital cinematography. I respect that you wouldn't want to pay 10, 11 even 12 dollars to watch a technology demonstration, but many people would. | ||

All in all I give the movie this: Visuals: 10/10 - Amazing visuals all-around, great production values. Audio: 8.5/10 - Audio was solid however some of the balancing of the music/character voices/sound effects seemed a little off for me. Overall good audio, weapon fire is loud and clear, for the most part the sound works well. Story: 6/10 - A fairly interesting take on a story-type that has been told many, many times. A lot of similarities to many different films, but I wouldn't say Cameron out-right copied anyone in particular. Acting 7/10 - The acting was convincing, but definitely not anything note-worthy. I gave a 7 instead of a 5.5 or a 6 simply because there was no poorly acted parts, albeit only a few of the actors performances could be considered truly good. Overall - 7.5/10 - I give it an 7.5/10 because I liked the movie and while I do enjoy seeing great acting from time to time, I'm quite simply not picky enough to spend my viewing time picking out every thing that was wrong with a movie that isn't one of the best 25 movies of all-time, as not all movies can be 'the best'. | ||

Most people would call you overly picky when it comes to movie choices, it might not be the revolutionary / life changing film it was hyped out to be, but it wasn't the worst thing to come out of Hollywood in the past 10 years (far from it in fact). However, I'm not going to try and change people's opinions here, if it wasn't your thing that's perfectly fine, but its not necessary to try and convince others of your view by posting something as inane and childish as 'Avatar = Epic Failure'. | ||

The only difference is no argumentation this time. Wait, OPINIONS can be COUNTERED now? I'm definitely behind the times. Oh, and I was really disappointed by the use of Titanic music XD | ||

I'm not even going to get started on the literature, it's like half of those sci fi writers with a big name just recycle same plot and idea feeding it to millions of people as a work of their own. What bastards. I also feel bad for everyone who didn't realize that whole concept was ripped off from a "Yes" album cover.. ![[image loading]](http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/9043/i_dean4.jpg) avatarhasthesameplotaseverything.blogspot.com | ||

Anyhoo, the visuals were nice, but it became obvious that the 3-D was a bit overdone if you saw it in IMAX. There are parts (most noticeably when the little dandelion-seed things start falling) where the 3-D obscures the action and detracts from the scene overall. Good effects (which they damn well better be thanks to the enormous budget), good acting (except perhaps from the main character, he was a bit flat for me), but a shitty story and bad pacing makes me really dislike the movie compared to the hype. | ||
