So am I the only who thought Avatar had pretty weak FX and that Pandora was a pretty lame looking planet?

You're a lame looking planet....

At least MY planet has things like walmarts and malls. All Pandora had was some plants. Borrrrring.

- I would take a bioluminecent planet over a walmart any day.
- You could control any animal you catch...
- The Na'vi don't pay taxes.
- We have yet to see the ocean life of Pandora.
- All Pandora had was plants? FLOATING FUCKING MOUNTAINS!

zzzzzzz BORING!

Floating mountains that screwed up computers.

No computer = no DTF.

You lose.

You used walmart as an example of one of the crowning achievements of earth?

Umm...

We also have McDonalds. Suck on that.

Avatar is my second-favourite version of Fern Gully!

Since I clearly don't get that, care to explain the reference?

They're Space Marines from Warhammer 40k, a tabletop/video game series.

He sends the big red guy away after they defeat the humans, so he probably would have gone back to riding his original one. Unless it died fighting or something.

[Dimitrius]

He DOES send it away?

Doesn't Avatar end after Jake defeats the guy and then does the "soul exchange" or whatever to stay in his N'avi? Is it shown in the movie that he sends it away? I don't remember.

[Volk9]

Did it died?

[AcidLameLTE]

Bought this on blu-ray from Amazon so I could finally watch it.

It does look amazing in 1080p.

Oh, so the fact that it was a Pandora-style one-night stand makes it okay?

[Adami]

Yea, isn't the big red bird now only attached to him? So he's basically a bird polygamist.

So Pandora supports either polygamy or cheating on your mate. Either way, IT'S IMMORAL!

Pandora: it's the new Utah.

Next time a bunch of aliens try to take over your planet, you can be the judge of what is and isn't acceptable to help unify the people in retaliation.

[rumborak]

I thought watching Avatar was like staring into a streetlight for 2 hours. No subtlety at all, but that's jot new with CGI movies.

I'm still confused as to why the big bad humans felt the need to start some massive (and clearly bloody) ground war with the Navi. If they have the capability for interstellar travel I'm sure they have the ability to bomb the living shit out of any target from orbit.

Oh wait, there wouldn't be a movie if they did that.

Maybe it would have harmed the unobtanium or whatever, maybe then they could renamed it nonexistium.

[MetalManiac666]

Bombing the shit out of the planet would destroy the Untfkjhghlkjhj;lkjnium though...

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[Sigz]

Maybem, though I'm not saying you need to turn the planet into a crater, but it's way safer to take out the hometree with a few missiles from space then some massive frontal assault.  Either way, the unobtanium is just a rock, and it has to be mined out anyways, so I'm assuming it would be OK as it's in the ground already. And if not, there's always chemical weapons or napalm. It just seems very nonsensical that their only option was to try to fight on such skewed terms like that.

[TheVoxyn]

Still haven't seen this movie. But something called unobtanium is pretty lame.

The guys in charge loved fighting. They probably did it for that reason. It was probably more about fighting for them than it was getting the job done.

Pandora is a six year journey away from Earth, and most likely an expensive one. The RDA corporation probably figured the largest scale military operation they'd have to execute was something like the attack on Hometree. If you're not planning on conducting an orbital bombardment, why spend the money shipping the material light years away?

I never knew I was a ninja. Or that bosk was a little asian girl.

As lame as it may sound, isn't it just a scientific term?

It's not a scientific term, it's just a placeholder name whenever you're talking about some nonexistent element. I guess it kind of makes sense that when humans did discover it they'd call it that, as if I remember it correctly the unobtanium in Avatar is a room temperatute superconducter, which is basically be a holy grail in modern physics.

[Manolito Mystiq]

I meant that it's an existing term, and it's being used in (real) science. How dull the term may sound, we're using it.

[Sigz]

Not really.

The concept of unobtainium is often applied flippantly or humorously
