Oh boy, I'm now able to discuss it/throw in my opinions.

Acting: Top notch
Story: It sucked. :| Sorry, but the story has been done so many times before, and now it's just become stale.

Wait, what?
Story stinks to you yet the acting is top notch?
I'm mindintercourse ed.

Anyways, I kinda liked it; It was pretty cool in some area's but as most people, the main thing I hate is the plot. The plot's motivation is my main problem with that. Ok, some people from the US go in to get money from the tree's? Great. The people want there land safe? Wait; They don't even say that. Now they want to blow up everything with no plotline? Uh... And the moral of the story is completely hypocritical to the whole peace thing? Wait, what?

Yeah, not my kinda motivation.

I really enjoyed Avatar. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and I liked it a whole lot more than most pretty much all '09 movies. The story is very similar to Distric 9. Alien and human relationships that both place the human race on the "bad side".

They wanted the large stockpile unobtainium, a very valuable mineral, under the native's village/ big tree thing. The natives won't move because they share a bond with nature that is biological as well as spiritual. That's pretty much the reason for the attack on the na'vi.

I don't ever recall peace between the races as a very prominent theme in the movie either, but then again some people think the movie had a hidden theme that attacks Bush's time in office... The biggest theme I found from the movie was to not kill nature and stuff.

Unobtainium? Wait what? You shhould be able to come up with a more original name than that.

"lol its unobtainable so lets call unobtainium"

It doesn't even emphasize on that. They just blow poop up near the end instead of even getting it. Yeah, the beginning made sense, but then it went into a total poopfest.

I just saw it today and I loved it.
I, for one, did not expect it to live up to the hype that it has received, but it surpassed any expectations I had for it.

EDIT: How weird... Three consecutive sentences beginning with "I".

Anyway, I wanted to go to Pandora after watching the movie as well.

I quite liked it...and I really wanted to go to Pandora.
Or at least get a cool tail. ;_;

I saw it last weekend in 3D. It was good, but I thought it was a little long and the plot has been done many times. Graphics were nice, though.

I was simply comparing the majority of the film to the crappy story it had. The acting certainly wasn't the best I've ever seen, but it made what little the movie had believable and added to the world of Pandora. Plus, it's Sigourney Weaver. Can't go wrong with her.

But instead of wasting your money on this, GO SEE UP IN THE AIR.

Ok, I'm pretty late to discuss this. I just went to see Avatar today and what I thought on a scale of 1- 10 it would be on is a 9.

Ok, let me break it down here. The beginning of this movie was a little confusing at first. I saw it in 3D IMAX and yet they were right about the graphics having a mind blowing effect on people. I generally don't listen to the media but they were right about this. Also, the action of this movie would keep you on the edge of your seat quiet a bit. There was one con i noticed. The plot of the story like a lot of you said in here is pretty unoriginal. It had somewhat of a Pocahontas theme going on in it if any of you noticed. The theme has been used in soo many movies that it was easy enough to foreshadow what was going to happen. Yet, even though it had an unoriginal theme, the story itself was written out pretty well. The actors were ok and fit pretty well into the story. I think people see this as a big step higher into graphic animation in movies and can be built off of it.

care to explain how some pretty CG but no story warrants a 9/10?

BOREDFOREVER · February 16, 2010, 09:39:24 AM

I thought it was alright. Were the 3d effects good? Yeah. Did they blow me out of my seat? No. The story was an oft recycled one, and the characters acted in predictable ways, with some characters seemingly crowbarred in, such as the latino chopper pilot.

After a few conversations, though, I think that people walked away from that movie either wanting to drive a mech or wanting to have an avatar. My wife and I both wanted Mechs. WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE?
