The chick from Fast and the Furious, she painted her face and chopper with war paint before she got killed.

MUCH better known as Anna Lucia from LOST! And she kicked ass in this movie. Too bad she didn't hurt the General more than she did....

I thought she was utterly useless in the movie

[LudwigVan]

She did have some big guns. )P

I can't say I understand why someone would pay out the ass to see a movie in theaters more than once.  Just buy it when it comes out on DVD!

Because I will probably never be rich enough to have my own movie theater and it looked amazing on the big screen, and I'd like to be able to see it once more like that before that opportunity is gone forever.

that too

Yeah, some movies are 100x more entertaining on a big screen than just in your home. For example, Cloverfield was a perfect roller-coaster ride in the theater and was well-worth watching again that environment. But at home on a regular TV, it loses much of its appeal

Just ordered Imax 3D tickets for Wednesday Morning. Round #5.

OK Chino, someone needs to stage an intervention

[Chino]

Hello everyone. My name is Chino, and I am an Avatar addict. I find myself seeing avatar two times a week. I find that I am usually bored with life, and going to see the movie Avatar in Imax 3D helps me escape from that. While I am in the theater, everything in life is suddenly good. Once I leave the theater, life goes back to the way it was, and I get even more depressed that I will never be able to live in Pandora. I find myself having to go back for more. It's a viscous cycle.

Saw it today in 3D. The story, honestly, nothing special. There were times where I was saying "James Cameron, you are boring me. I'm gonna fall asleep..." but as soon as the battle scenes started, that's when it got interesting. To me, there were many unnecessary characters; just fillers... (the friendly humans -except Sigourney- the "find me a diplomatic solution" guy and that nav'ii cousin of that navi whatever whatever.)

Parker is in charge of the company and the brains behind the operation? How do you describe him as filler?

I really don't understand your comment at all. Why do you need less characters? The movie was still very straight forward and there was certainly not an abundance of characters.

Either you expand or elaborate the characters or you get them out of the picture. Parker said, what, six lines in the movie? He was the boss (like a boss!) of the whole thing but he sure as hell didn't look like it.

I don't need less characters. I just need characters that are worth being in the movie. Not even Michelle Rodriguez convinces you why she's on the good side. "I didn't sign for this"... Err, OK? How the hell was I suppose to know that? Did your character had anything that made me imply that in a convincing way?

Jake Sully's friend. He seems mad that Jake is naturally good at doing what he does... but he then just accepts it. I mean, that's it? Are you sure you are worth being a character in this movie?

[ariich]

I'm guessing you hate 99% of films emin?

[shadowfex]

Wow, I disagree with all those points.

- I thought it was plainly obvious that Parker was in charge of the whole operation

- Michelle Rodriguez was the pilot for the science geeks and naturally felt compassion for their plight. She understood the importance of the tree they were blowing up and that the Navi were not just savages.

- Norm had studied his ass off and Jake had just turned up with no idea what he was doing and he was accepted into the Navi tribe. I think Norm's initial reaction of jealousy was appropriate. He eventually came around but it wasn't instantaneous like you are implying.

[faemir]

It's a viscous cycle.

I found it quite a slick cycle myself.

Anyone else laugh at Giovanni Ribisi's bad Ari Gold impression? They should've just cast Piven if that's the angle they were going for.

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

This movie was a major disappointment for me. I won't expound, but I will just leave a sentence.
The plot was too predictable and unoriginal.

[MetalManiac666]

Just saw this movie in 2D last night.  I have only two complaints against this movie; #1 is the generic plot, but it was told in such a way that it didn't detract from the movie too much, and #2 is that the last ~30 minutes kind of felt like they were rushed.  Overall, great movie, and the CGI was definitely awesome in this film. 9/10

[Scurvy!Dreams]

Just saw this movie in 2D last night.

Why?

[MetalManiac666]

Because the movie theater I went to doesn't do 3D...

I wouldnt be suprised if Chino got a thank you card from James Cameron himself

Hey, if you got sold by the way this movie was told, I'm glad for James Cameron.

I did enjoy the battle scenes. Really, really cool. As my first 3D experience, a nice enjoyable treat. But with this amount of dedication, I honestly expected something better.

I'm guessing you hate 99% of films emin?

Nah, I hate movies with high expectations going this low. And even if I really didn't like it that much, I was thinking when the movie was ending: "objectively, this is a 4/5 movie". My problem was that I was expecting it to be a 5/5 or 6/5 movie. *Shrugs*

[bout to crash]

Well, the height of the expectations are kind of chosen by you. I didn't go into this expecting or knowing too much and I loved it. I try to go in that way with most movies because people always kill them with hype.

While I am in the theater, everything in life is suddenly good. Once I leave the theater, life goes back to the way it was, and I get even more depressed that I will never be able to live in Pandora.

Wow. Dunno if you're joking, but that's literally the way I felt when I saw it. I think that was what was so cool about the movie for me; I really wanted it to be real. And it makes me sad that it never will be. They managed to create a really cool world. Plot and acting aside, no other movie has ever really made me feel like that before, so personally I praise them for that.

I'm not crazy, btw.

That is exactly how I felt. I thought walking out of the theater "wow, Earth is gay."  This movie struck me somewhere. I don't really know how to describe it. I got a sense of something I never got from watching a movie before. I know that sounds weird.

I agree except for the "gay" part. Although I guess I had more of a feeling like "Wow, I wish most humans felt the same love and connection for our planet, then maybe we wouldn't be in the situation we are today." It made me kind of sad.

I can't wait to see what the "uncut/director's cut" of this movie is going to be like.

Wait, a 4/5 movie is bad? I consider it a 4-star movie as well, which is extremely good as far as I'm concerned. It was obviously going to be predictable and I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from the script, by now I know what to expect from James Cameron. And it delivered.

If you expected something different, that's your own fault really, though 4/5 is still very good surely?

[emindead]

Well, objectively it is good. Mixed feelings, if you may. I dunno. Right now "I'm too much in the sun".

[Chino]

I can't wait to see this movie tomorrow. I haven't watched it in 6 days.

After tomorrow, $72.75 on myself, $39.75 on the 3 girls I have brought.

[Dr. SeaWolf]

Was it worth it though?

3 girls

Of course it was
