Most. Beautiful. Sc-fi. Movie. Ever.

I absolutely loved this movie. I agree With RocknRollRadio that the story line wasn't original, but nothing is anymore. With that said, however, the storyline is moving. The CG was nothing less then stunning! You could actually see this world being real (I told my husband I wanted to move there).

Would I go see this movie again? My dad and I are going next week.

WOWWWWWWWWW.....

considering my eye issues, I dunno how a 3D glasses would work with me...so I opted for a 2D movie.

all I can say about this movie: I will see it again!

We just saw it Tuesday night. It was fantastic. Best movie I've seen in quite awhile.

I saw it... loved it. Great movie and the visuals were amazing!!! Not sure if I'd have liked it as much if it was 2D though. I pretty much knew the whole story line already... and I thought parts of it dragged a bit... but wow, the visuals had my eyes doing backflips. And in 3D? It felt like you were standing right there. This has been the fourth film I've seen in 3D since it became "the thing to do" and it is most certainly the best as far as that goes. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly made it feel so life like where the 3D in other films was meh... There were parts where the characters looked like they were sitting right there in front of you. Like you were just looking through a window. Nothing really popped "out" of the screen but there was A LOT of depth created. The flying scenes, and scenes where they're on cliffs or way up high or whatever... looked fantastic.

And the creatures?!? I haven't been this floored by creatures in a movie since Jurassic Park. They breathed and moved and everything like living creatures. On the computer they did not look that impressive. But on the big screen? Wow! They looked like they were actual creatures used and didn't feel CG at all. Particularly liked that one scene where Jake gets to ride his first "horse" creature and the camera just kind of pans over it. It was fantastic looking! And the plants!! All those plants are CGI but they felt so life like and I just wanted to reach out and touch them. And then all the glowing colors at night? Wow, just made everything look more amazing.

See if man's imagination can be this fantastic, I can't even begin to imagine what God has in store for us in heaven.

That is a truly AWESOME description. I have to ask,was yours a Digital 3-D experience or an IMAX 3-D experience?
Because a friend and I may see it Friday and digital 3-D is all that is the best available to us. I'm so hoping this is what we can expect.

I saw the I-max version and it was awesome. So good I've seen it 4 times.

About the story, couple of bits didnt make sence, but then its got aliens, guns, aliens riding aliens and mechs in it, whats not to love?

Oh, you really should see it in the theater! It's just such an amazing movie and seeing it so big really adds to the experience!

I too wondered about my eye issues and the 3D glasses, but they turned out to work just fine. I've seen both Avatar and Up in 3D, and greatly enjoyed how much they added to the movie-going experience. Give it a shot!

I'm kinda blind in the right eye and I wear glasses. dunno if wearing 3D glasses would work as they require the eyes to focus. I can't focus that way. *sigh*

Ok, I just saw it this evening in RealD 3-D and it was awesome! I loved the 3-D even though it made me dizzy at the beginning and whenever everyone was at ground level and like you were there,I felt disoriented,but it still felt cool,LOL! I did not appreciate the cursing,especially the frequent use of the Lord's name being used in vain.
My son who is 39 liked the 3-D but wasn't crazy about the story.

3- D bugs me but.... I LOVED THIS

ThepassinStorm · Jan 26, 2010

any movie that overthrows titanic as the number 1 movie has to be good but this one..... this was something AMAZING

blazearmstrong · Jan 26, 2010

Avatar is the most awesomest movie I have ever seen in my life!! I kid you not. Watch it in 3d and you'll know what I mean. Great dialogue, great cinematography, great story.

I-can-see · Jan 28, 2010

It was good.

Moonstruck4U · Feb 2, 2010

Up for an Oscar!

corvus_corax · Feb 15, 2010

Great visuals!
The 3D was really good (spectacular in some places)

However I don't understand how this is a record breaking movie.
Yes, it was worth the price of admission. Yes the glasses were worth the extra money for the 3D experience.

But the story?
Yes it was good, but it's been overdone to death. Cameron did not do a horrible job with it, but dang, I expected SO MUCH more, especially considering the RAVE reviews this movie is getting, and the money it's raking in (expected to beat Titanic as the overall best grossing movie of all time)

SPOILER!! Do NOT highlight the rest of my post if you don't want to know the plot of this movie!!

Spoiler begins here-

This is pretty much Ferngully with gunships, with Dances With Wolves thrown in for good measure.

End spoiler

corvus_corax · Feb 15, 2010

Apparently, some idiots take this movie far too close to heart.
"Waaaaggh! I wanna live there, but I can't so I wanna kill myself ."

Seriously?
SERIOUSLY?!?

The movie was really good, but NOT that good (especially considering the fact that the storyline has been done before more than once).

Apparently some people need to avoid fiction.

I still haven't seen this yet, but I've been hearing a lot about humorless liberals and humorless conservatives trashing it for some reason or another.
