i love james cameron's work but this looks stupid.

Looks a little meh. Don't like the faces they animated. Looks too corny and fake.

The Last Airbender?!?!

I Thought that movie was about a kid who could bend air, are there really two movies coming out named avatar set on fantasy worlds?

One is Avatar and one is The Last Airbender.

bennyhillifier

terrible american ripoff of japanese animation. now sure to be a terrible live action movie.

Let me ask you this: Have you seen every episode of the Avatar: The Last Airbender?

Avatar: The Last Airbender was my favorite show for about a month two years ago.

The last episode was so anti-climactic but the build up was pretty sweet.

Avatar looks like a ripp off of Halo

This movie got rave reviews in the 3d London screening. Apparently it is the most expensive film ever made and is a "huge step" in film making. Thinking about checking it out.. Hopefully the cgi actually does something for me.

Props and puppets>cgi

James Cameron should make the sickest Berenstein Bears movie ever.

berenstain*
I thought they were Jewish bears, too.

Well they do enjoy fresh lox:

I am absolutely sure that i will have the time of my life at this movie... mainly because i'm gonna eat a Kush-Cookie and drop a ten strip of acid before i go.

Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventure that's beyond compare, they are the gummi bears.

I think you'll be too busy looking through the fabrics of time and space to pay attention to the movie.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I'm not gonna pay attention to the plot. But i will look at all the pretty CGI and imagine myself drumming in this mystical fantasy world.

Only show out of that whole line-up that I could stomach. My little brother would sit glued to the whole damn thing (Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, fucking Goof Troop, Darkwing fucking Duck), but I could only deal with the Gummi Bears (and occasionally a clever Rescue Rangers).

The NES games based on all of the above were, however, universally fucking awesome. LOVED that goddamn Ducktales game, and the RR one was pretty much Super Mario Brothers 2 part 2.

Gay movie looks gay.

Darkwing Duvk was alright.
Gummi Bears was cool because it was fantasy based.
David the Gnome takes the cake though. Outside of Heman or Conan the Adventurer, that is.

Read my recipe for a happy movie... i bet you'd enjoy it if you came with me... you wanna? It'll be district 9 cubed!

Jim, see the thread I'm about to bump, and my answer to that = yes.

hehe

haha- RTTP is not only the top Gewgle hit for "FIGHT HIM OR YOU'RE A PUSSY" - we're the ONLY HITS. LOLOLOLOLOL

hilarious

Anyone see this communist film yet?

meh. nothing special. at least 3 hours FLYS by.

I enjoyed it. watched the 3d version. good movie to watch stoned.

I'll wait for dvd. Fuck sitting in a theater for 3 fucking hours. Actually the acid thing sounds interesting, but then again, it would probably result in me standing on a chair, screaming at the audience and then getting arrested.

They did a really good job filming this film in 3D. I was watching an interview with james cameron and he was talking about how most 3D movies use it as a gimmick to throw shit at your face. With avatar they use the 3D to actually immerse you in the world and it does a pretty damn good job doing that. He also made a point that soon a lot of movies and games will be made to utilize 3D not to be a gimmick but to actually make the world come out and feel as if you're in it.

Home 3D is coming as Sony, LG, Phillips and others are already testing home 3D products. I can't wait to play the next halo in my living room and actually feel as if i'm there with master chief.

3D Modern Warfare.....

Hell yea. Imagine how freaking awesome if would be to play a lot of video games in that type of environment.

Fuck 3d.

I think about this. Fuck getting a new TV for a long time though. I just got an HD and use the HDMI port on the Xbox360 and I think that looks crazy good. I can only imagine what it will look like with a 3DTV.

I hear this movie has an underlying political theme, hence the communist comment. Is it true? I hope not. Distrct 9 was ruined by its PC backdrop.

You can make that comment about every movie.

True, but some are more up front about it.

yeeeeea nigga i wants ta get down on dat xbox shit fo real yo. my dawg gotz mad 3D shit you need summa dat shit lemme know niggaaaaaaaaaaa.

-MCs iz only known fo' they flows, im WORLDWIDE for the bitches that i turn into HOES

Not a commie movie.

Also commie is far to often a misused word.

Avatar. Abit cheesy sometimes but fucking awesome is what it is.
I loved it.

Entertaining, vivid imagery and animation... BUT horrible voice acting, cheesy one liners in the dialogue, the eyes on the aliens look fake, it was a little too predictable and just plain political.
I'd see it again but it's definitely not the greatest movie of all time. It's like watching fern gully with aliens and explosions.

I'd give it a B, but with lots of rewatch value.

So why do some of the aliens sound like they're from
Africa? Again, this an district 9 with their damn african aliens.

That being said, I'd totally hit that female alien

Politics I agree with. Any so called "heathen" should agree.

If you're looking for heathens, you're in the wrong scene.

I'd rather watch fern gully.

racits against aliens

Instead of investing 300mil to make this movie, why don't they invest that into saving the real rainforests? I'm hoping James Cameron puts some of the money towards that, rather than profit off of unoriginal ideas and exploitation of stuff that really goes on.

Good point. Hope he does.

or he shoulda just did T3 and T4 instead

lol.

*phew* ok good aril likes the movie.

I liked it but left feeling disappointed.

Looking back, had it not had the animation and effects it had, it would be similar to a mediorce Disney cartoon.

Animation and effects aren't everything.

And also, GET YOUR PC MESSAGES OUT OF SCIFI YOU HOLLYWOOD SCUM

LOL

YA BUT IT DID.

Come on, you had this whole plot figured out by the time you saw the first 30 second trailer. This movie was about getting sweet ass special effects shot into your brain for 3 hours. And it delivered.

One last disappointing thing: no props.

The reason why the lotr movies were awesome is because they went hybrid and combined both cgi and real props. This movie was cgi overload with little to no props involved. CGI is great and all with today's technology, but let us not forget the art of a good fucking prop or costume.

Neverending story > avatar

Mike, of course I did. I was hoping to story was a little better and less cliche but it failed. This movie was like most hot blonde chicks: great to look at but completely empty inside.

aril ITT: "it was an alright movie, but it sucked, but I liked it, but it was crappy, but it was pretty good, but I hated it"

its nice to know that one person can play the roles of both waldorf and statler


<3

;)

LOTR > Avamatar in every aspect without question.

this movie looks gay

But you believe in climate change, so your opinion is irrelevant.

??? yea ice ages never happened

On a serial note, on the note of CGI, I think it should only be used when you can't do without it, which is why I am excited that my nigga Guillermo del torro is doing the Hobbit. His philosophy is to use cgi only for things costumes, puppets, and makeup can't do.

fucking animatronic Smaugs and such.

CGI is part of the reason I hated the new star wars, I mean, ammaright the originals looked way better.

CGI has no soul. so much hard work went into making Star Wars look incredible, and 30+ years later it still looks better than a lot of movies. few movies have wowed me with CGI, Jurassic Park, T2 and LOTR to name a few. and an animatronic Smaug would be amazing, but think of the dimension they can bring with some CGI.

I hope this guy is in there

Anybody who seriously believes the ice ages really happened needs to get a clue.

Avatar = Dances with Wolves in the future with aliens.

NEVAR FORGET

I want to go see this in 3D at 2:45, but carina isn't getting back to me.

this movie was awesome. There were a couple "brave heart" things, but still it was beautiful. Some scenes had too much going on in them.
The only thing that sucked was the end of the movie. They ended with a song that sucked.

Yeah, it took a lot of restraint (Mostly because of the "I know what you're going to do and please please PLEASE DON'T do it" looks I was getting from my friend) not to yell out "YOU MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE............OUR FREEDOM!"

Someone have that as their avatar on another board?

I made that my avatar on another board. Har har har.

i saw it blazed as fuck and non-3d and i thought it was an enjoyable movie. the CG for the "blue people" was awesomeawesomeawesome. plot was mad predictable, but it was still good.

Ferngully = waaay better

My friend's main selling point was that the cgi and live action melded together so well that it was revolutionary...

didn't they do that in LOTR? or with 300? I'm pretty sure 90 percent of 300 was green screen

but in this movie, they used blue screen.

Where the fuck is this actually playing in 3d?

Someone had to say it.

I saw it in newington. They have it in 2 theatres there.

you almsot can't see this not in 3d in Albany, its retarded

Imax in Saco, ME. Amazing visuals.

Anywhere in MA?

They need a list of WHERE IT IS playing. I understand I may need to drive a bit, but I'm not going to sit on their site guessing zip codes to fond a theater.

you need to see this in 3D arrow. its an experience.

I didn't see it in 3d. But there's other movies out right now I'd rather see first before I watch this crap again

Why wouldn't it be playing in Natick @ Jordans Imax????

I can't imagine what someone on mushrooms/acid would experience when seeing this in Imax 3D. hahaha.

http://www.jordansimax.com/

I should specify: digital 3D. I can't do Imax, it makes me puke.

if your puke is that of your sauce, I'd still eat it free of charge.

Caving in and checking this out tonight. Looking forward to regretingt the 2 hrs and 40 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

regretingt?

Saw this yesterday, cool tech but weak plot.

Also it felt like the whole thing was some creepy hentai/cos-play fantasy.

Wait hentai? So I can expect CGI nudity? With that revelation, things look more promising than ever!

If this has less than 5 minutes of tentacle rape footage, I'm demanding my money back.

i have the same problem. well i've never actually puked from it, but after like 10 minutes of a 3D ocean program i felt like i was going to. my head was all screwed up for the rest of the day.

apparently it's the highest grossing movie of all time.

i haven't seen it but being a pop sci-fi movie it borrows from everything. the "life tree" or whatever else is in the movie...please.

the best sci-fi material has already been written and everything new that comes out has to steal ideas somewhere. i can't believe the hype this thing gets. f this movie.

Ark. Couldn't have said it better myself. I fapped to total recall last night.

"Hustler is making a porn parody of Avatar … Anyone have title suggestions?"

Still have to subject myself to this. I'm not feeling suicidal lately, so hopefully this will just barely get me to normal.

This movie was almost as bad as district 9 and avatar combined.

Check this out. The movie is disney for adults.

http://failblog.org/2010/01/10/avatar-plot-fail/

yep. as stated previously, fern gully was a better movie

just watched a high quality bootleg of this. really enjoyed it actually. def increase my hatred for the human race.

It's not new news that the plot was similar to multiple other storylines. However, none of those movies were even REMOTELY as visually stunning as Avatar.

haha, that's awesome. Avatar was still awesome either way.

If it wasnt in 3D it would have been, meh...but it was really cool in 3D plus the theater served beer.

God this movie was really mundane. Why the hell are people going batshit for it?!

It somewhat angers me that it was nominated for other awards besides special effects.
Movie was no better than any other Disney movie.
In fact Id rather watch the Little Mermaid over this movie. Still got the VHS with the penis on the cover ftw.

I think my favorite part was where the main character is swinging around on the bulldozers and they use pretty much the exact same series of camera angles/dialog as the scene in FernGully with bulldozers.

Yes we know, this movie is a direct rip off of Dances with Wolves, Ferngully and Pocahontas. It's to the point where people think they're geniuses for pointing that out even though they probably haven't seen any of them. Again, none of those movies were even REMOTELY as visually stunning as Avatar, especially in Imax 3D.

Visually stunning does not constitute a great movie. But whatever, obviously it does; it's the highest grossing movie of all time.

A clever and original script > stunning CGI any day.

that's what "good" movies are now. shit plot with amazing graphics. the success of Transformers is a prime example. an optimus prime example, if you will.

Even though the plot is similar it's still at least a 'solid' plot, based of three other relatively successful movies...tried/true if you will...What is so shit about the plot??? Because it's not mind blowingly technical and difficult for all to comprehend? I personally prefer more violence in movies but I blame that on my parents letting me watch Predator over and over when I was 7. haha.

DON'T YOU DARE TALK SHIT ABOUT FERNGULLY

It was so cliche and predictible.
It seriously could have been a kids movie.

Now that it's officially the highest grossing movie of all time..

actually, i will not.

A cliche and predictable response.

So are you defending Avatars story? It was ok but was the weakest part of the movie by far.
The point I'm making is visuals do not always constitute a great movie; just like graphics with video games.
Avatar was entertaining but was empty and unoriginal, outside of the animation.

I think society is caught up in a tech/graphics phase right now. People care more about what things look like rather than what things really matter.

In other words, where's the cream filling?

I never said it was most amazing and original story, BUT it was solid (plot lines based off previously tried & true movies) and had enough original elements to keep it entertaining on top of the amazing visuals. I don't see how anyone could find it to be a terrible movie, then again people find something to complain about in everything ever.

blah blah. whiney whine whine.

I do like a great mindfuck of a movie but sometimes it's nice to watch a movie that you're not required to do the equivalent of calculating equations.

Comparable to listening to instrumental music instead of someone who needs someone spewing lyrics all over the place. Also kinda like going to see the same band multiple times. What newew band these days is completely original? None.

Where's the cream filling?

In my dong.

Predictible and cliched response, haha

...but still effective.

Yep. Like Avatar. Story was good enough but didn't quite make the movie.

lol suuued

bahahaha

Avatar Galactica.

I feel like the visuals weren't even that impressive; it's like the whole planet was a mashup of Phantom Menace-era Naboo and the back aisle of a Spencer's Gifts with all the blacklight lamps.
