Well, I'm sure getting hit in the head with the end of a gun still hurts a hell of a lot.

But yeah, as pistol-whip sounds like something Indiana Jones would use.

I can't explain why I want to watch this movie all the time. Something about it puts me in a positive mental state unlike anything else in my life. I'm not saying I use the movie to escape from reality, but every time I know I am going to see it, I am in an awesome mood and can't wait to do it again.

What are the thoughts on the score? I know it was Oscar nominated but I can't help but feel that it was going to nominated just because. I can't for the life of me remember anything about it let alone if there was a main theme or anything. It'd be a shame if it won.

The score is really good in the movie. Since I have seen it so many times, I no longer have to pay attention to the characters, plot, etc.. I just take everything in. When I went the other night I paid extra attention to the score. The final minute of the movie is pure gold. I can't say whether I think it should win seeing as I haven't seen most of the other movies, but it definitely deserved the nomination.

I thought it was really good. Not quite what I'd call great as there wasn't anything particularly memorable in it, but it added immensely to the feel of the film, which is the most important thing when it comes to scores.

As far as the score goes, it's my favorite of the year.  A few words though:

The score doesn't really get many moments during the flick.  Narration "gets in the way" and for the most part it's not in your face (for better and for worse).  The CD, on the other hand, is phenomenal.  The album covers just about all the high points of the movie and is a fantastic audio journey of discovery, enchantment, tragedy and finally action.  There isn't a weak track on the album.  It's that good.

The only really competition it has for best score is Up, an equally impressive score.  Up should probably win as it's more original, but I prefer Avatar because it's an epic.

It was a pretty slow year as far as scores go and I know nominating Avatar for best score might seem like a "just do it because it's the big money maker" move, but the score deserves it.

 Prior to seeing this movie I had my issues. I suspected it to be another cgi-garbage as in Transformers. The plot seemed so generic and cliched. Plus I really really dislike michelle rodgriguez.

After seeing it I have to give a major major  :tup.  Pandora and the Nav'i where so well done that I quickly felt at home with them.  Yes the plot is gnereic and predictable nevertheless i was touched at every turn.  Fantastic acting on all sides, amazing cgi, and believable characters makes this one of the most enjoyable films I've seen since lord of the rings.  Plus michelle rodriguez redeemed herslef.

I really want to see this again, not for the movie's sake. I really do miss Pandora and the Nav'i, as if they were completely real.  I haven't felt this way since seeing Tatooine in episode 1.  

Cameron and the gang did an amazing job. Props for sure!  :hefdaddy

It was actually, especially for CGI, the Nav'i princess in particular.

New topic:  CGI winning best actor at Oscars.  I mean for future movies, because one thing Avatar clearly showed was the future of filmmaking. Thoughts?
