Avatar has been billed as the Greatest Adventure Ever Told.

Though I think the Greatest CG Ever Seen might be a better description. The CG is certainly impressive and quite crisp. The way the CG characters interacted with each other is pretty incredible.

What is less incredible is when real humans interact with the CG creatures. It is then, especially, one is reminded this is a CG movie.

It is an impressive movie, and I think it has raised the bar (for anyone with a 300 million dollar budget for a movie) but at 2 hours and 45 minutes, it moves way too slow and explains every single thing over so even a baby can understand. Plot turns are telegraphed so far in advance the story tells itself long before it is over.

Many people I know can talk enough about how amazing this movie is, so maybe I shorted myself in seeing it in 2-D.

I heard it was amazing, but I have no motivation to see anything in 3-D

I don't really care for it except maybe as a rental. A lot of other CG movies have been done well, like sky captain and world of tomorrow. Should be a fine movie but the theme doesn't really interest me right now.

Alot of my friends are saying that it is the greatest movie ever but i think that they are getting caught up in the visuals and ignoring the story which is un-original and yes mmm i could tell the ending within the first 10-20 minutes.

I'll watch the movie, but not in 3-D. I think 3-D is more for children. I don't appreciate it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes on DVD release.

My sense is if you are not going to see it in a theater and in 3-D, I would probably skip it altogether.

It's the difference between riding on a roller coaster or watching a video of someone riding on a roller coaster.

Well, the critics are praising it a lot. Maybe there's more to it than just newest CGI.

That's just your opinion. Inglorious Basterds is a movie only for Tarantino fans. It has no meaninful plot, just nice dialogues and some fantasy of Tarantino. Nothing special. It's a decent movie and has a lot of jewish propaganda.

Now, Transformers is a great movie, the 1st was. The 2nd did get a bit worse because of the high demand of CGI and special effects. It actually wasa masterpiece of CGI. The story wasn't anything good because it's not part of the main storyline. Just wait for the new Transformer movies which include Unicron Battles, those are the real shit. They will need a lot more budget than Avatar for that.

3D movies look odd on 2D, give you some sort of awkward feeling. I still prefer 2D over 3D though.

im gonna see it at the IMAX - 20-26 meter screen full 3d with a couple of thousand watt soundsystem - and im gonna be a little wasted too, to make sure its more imersive

get in

can't wait!
