Watch it. NOW. Seriously, it’s without a doubt the best movie of the year (dethroning 500 Days of Summer). It’s probably the best movie I’ve ever seen that’s aimed at a large audience. That’s not to say it’s perfect. There are some weaknesses, especially one character and her dialogue. However, it’s still incredible and I think it really will be the change to film and cinema that it was claimed to be. The CGI is, without a doubt, the best that’s been created at this point, and the world Cameron brings to life through it is breathtaking.
To anyone who assumed this was just another boring action flick because of the trailer, I assure you that it is NOT. Action isn’t even the main focus of the movie (although what’s there is some of the best action you’ll see). My ex-gf (who I remain close friends with for those of you who haven’t pieced together this part of my social life through various blogs) didn’t really want to see it, calling the trailer “silly.” Still, she came along because I needed someone to see it with (for a second time, haha, but this time at IMAX). We were joking in line about how half the reason I was so excited was to prove her wrong. She told me, “You know this means I have to call it shit as we walk out, no matter what I think. I can’t let you be right.” When the credits role, there’s a minutes worth of extra footage of the alien world, Pandora, and she took off her 3D glasses as if getting ready to go. Then, she hesitated for a moment, her hand with the glasses going down and then back to her head, till I finally said “Just do it, you know you want to.” She laughed and put them back on, and enjoyed the rest of the credits footage. As we walked out, she tells me, “That was actually pretty amazing. Thanks for forcing me to see it.”
Edit: Don’t wait for it to become available on DVD or torrent. If there was ever a movie you need to see in theaters, this is it. Oh, and watch it at IMAX if it’s possible.

For some reason I’m not surprised.
Also, how in the world can you grind in MS as much as you do if you can’t sit through a 2 hour and 40 minute movie?
Dude i already knew i would love it before i even watched it. then Conners texted me throughut her watching it and she said EVERYONE MUST WATCH! only losars would think it was only an action flick =l
It was fairly good, but I mean, some scenes were weak. You couldn’t feel the emotion when whatever that female Navi said to er, was his name John? idk, to leave when he “betrayed” the village, blablabla.
Also, watch it in IMAX, I watched it in Real 3D and it was good, but not as good supposedly as IMAX, but then again, IMAX is too loud for me. >.>;

I’ve watched it twice, and I’ll have to disagree with you on that scene in particular. I thought it was pretty well done. The frantic nature of the situation really came out in Neytiri’s voice. She’s pretty dumbfounded/shocked by all the things happening (won’t spoil it anymore).
Note: Please put spoilers around anything that could ruin parts of the story.
Meh…wasn’t awesomely spectacular but pretty good. The pretty girl next to me had me distracted a bit tho xp
I thought the dropships or whatever the hell they’re called look like Hornets from Halo
dropship thingy from Avatar
Halo Hornet
Avatar’s ship works with a fan-helicopter sorta thing though, while Halo’s go vroom with fiyah.
SPOILER ALERT
I LOVED the movie. I thought it was just gonna be a dumb action movie like Armageddon, but the acting, the look of the movie, the ambience were all wonderfully well done. There were some moments that I felt were so epic that I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen, like the part where Jake rides in on the giant red dragon. I almost shat my pants how awesome the was.Dest1 said: Should I go see it in IMAX or 3D?IMAX is in 3D.
@Lithium: That scene is amazing. It was hilarious; the second time I watched it, I knew it was coming, and listened to people’s reactions. There was this one resounding “HOLY SHI-” throughout the theater.
@Arly: Plus, Avatar was created in 1994. Halo was a bit later.
I @#%)ing LOVED Avatar. The entire plot is rather simple really, OUTER SPACE ALIENS FIGHT FOR THEIR LAAAAND, but James Cameron took that simple idea and made it into this kick-ass movie that I cannot get out of my head.
I’m satisfied with the actors chosen, such as the person for Jake Sully. I read that the director was specifically looking for a fresh face that wasn’t all that well known…and I’m glad he did. Sam Worthington did a great job for someone who had never done any major movies. And the chick that played Trudy, Michelle Rodriguez? Completely fit the personality of the character.
My eyes were glistening for the entire last hour of the movie.@Lithy: Zomg. That part I had chills. I’m getting chills remember it too 😮 When Jake rides in on the Toruk, all the Na’vi are like “HOLY SHIT” and all the audience in the theater were like “HOLY SHIT”
And yuh. Avatar was supposed to have been released in 1999, but Cameron wanted technology to catch up. And when it did 10 years later..SHABLAMF KICK-ASS MOVIE!!!~
Good thing he waited too, because I’d have been 3 years old and the graphics would be little stick people colored blue.
