Oh hey, look, more Avatar

I think that's an actual military term for a material/substance.

But yeah, so, so generic. That's why I always say it's not a "proper" film - you could sketch it out on a napkin. More like a tech demo. Kinda wish I'd seen it in 3D at the cinema now because then I might have appreciated it a bit more.

Finally managed to sit through the whole thing and... it's OK, I can't offer anything more positive than that. The story is just so incredibly generic. I would have thought with all the development time involved, JC could have come up with a better script. Fucking Unobtanium indeed, that's just insulting.
I will say the environment is visually spectacular, far moreso than anything else you'll see but the film dies on it's arse at the start when it's confined to the barracks.

Clearly he's making a rain angel, but it doesn't work if you're a cripple. I do like the guy filming him on his mobile, though.

I just realized (while watching the trailer) that I like Sam's voice. It's pleasant to listen to. No, I'm not gay. I just wanted to say something positive about Avatar.

Also, one scene with Sam lying on the ground (I guess the photo above is from that scene) and looking somewhere should be taken care of because it looks like Sam is stoned. Or maybe he just saw all the unobtanium the film had delivered.

Saw the movie once, and that was enough. Not exactly a deep story that requires repeat viewing -- and without the "gee, golly!" of seeing those special effects in 3D on the mega-screen, I'm not sure what more it really has to offer me.

I suppose nerds and slash-fiction writing fatties will love the chance for more Pandora, those of us that thought it was "...alright" can shrug and wait for Inception.

Avatar - It's alright.
That's a quote I never saw. It wasn't the most shit film ever, neither was it the most awesome.
It was "alright", I expected more from Cameron. Even "True Lies" was better, and that didn't cost so much money.

So, when's the 3D version going to come out? And how many different versions of that one?

Jeez, Kirsty - I'm sick of people like you coming on here with all your sexist comments. Way to lower the tone...

Whispers *I liked it well enough. JakeSully is hot.*

"...maybe if I caught it from the start I would have been more interested."

No, you wouldn't.

I've actually seen some of Avator now. A section in the middle starting from where he punched some flying dragon thing in the face up until the point he punched some digger in the face.

It looked quite nice on my TV, but Icouldn't be bothered to watch any more than that - maybe if I caught it from the start I would have been more interested.

My children like it though.

I only watched Avatar because some chick wanted to watch it over at my place. I did not end up having sexual relations with her that evening.
I hate Avatar.

Alright, Mr Cameron, you can have my money for this. Now get to work on that future war Terminator film I want (the one Salvation should've been)

I've tried to watch Avatar twice now, both times I ended up turning it off after 30 minutes because it made me want to punch myself in the face. The Bluray from Lovefilm has been sitting on my desk for the last 2 weeks, I'd like to watch it so I can actually fully justify my hatred but I'm seriously considering sending it back. Most shockingly, I was disappointed with the visuals. It's nowhere near as impressive as I've been told.
