I guess all of u are familiar with the Avatar movie thats about to come out, anyways just found out that the movie's budged was over 300 million?

Cameron’s Avatar, due in December, could be the thing that forces theaters to convert to digital. Spielberg predicts it will be the biggest 3-D live-action film ever. More than a thousand people have worked on it, at a cost in excess of $300 million, and it represents digital filmmaking’s bleeding edge.

    The film is set in the future, and most of the action takes place on a mythical planet, Pandora. The actors work in an empty studio; Pandora’s lush jungle-aquatic environment is computer-generated in New Zealand by Jackson’s special-effects company, Weta Digital, and added later.

    I couldn’t tell what was real and what was animated–even knowing that the 9-ft.-tall blue, dappled dude couldn’t possibly be real. The scenes were so startling and absorbing that the following morning, I had the peculiar sensation of wanting to return there, as if Pandora were real.

    Cameron wasn’t surprised. One theory, he says, is that 3-D viewing “is so close to a real experience that it actually triggers memory creation in a way that 2-D viewing doesn’t.” His own theory is that stereoscopic viewing uses more neurons. That’s possible. After watching all that 3-D, I was a bit wiped out. I was also totally entertained.


anyways what do u think do u think the movie is gonna be a big hit? or a big disappointment? good story? bad story?

Waiting to see what people say about it.

It'll either be great, or terribad.

Hopefully good plot instead of relying on the effects

Ah.

Now without doing any additional research, that trailer makes everything a lot clearer (cause the first one left me going "wut"...).

Interesting..

Yeah didn't have you pegged as a leader anyway.  Listen to the crowds, they always know!

Movie looks awesome, plotline sounds awesome.  One of the few movies I've been looking forward to.

I bet it's gonna suck balls.  Reminds me of how people were acting about Star Wars EP1 when it was announced and trailers released. 


Remember how that turned out.

Not a single mention of the new trippy arsed cameras Cameron helped develop to give a 2D screen the impression of depth.

I saw the trailer for this when I went to see 2012, it looks really good, in a far fetched way. Looking forward to it.

As long as this movie doesn't have a Jar Jar Binks, it may have a fighting chance.

To be honest, the CGI looks too polished, movement is too smooth and the colors are IMHO lame. Remember SW Ep 2 or 3, Ewan McGregor riding on a bright green whatthefuckthatsstupid lizard? Reminds me of that. Now compare with Aliens, that shit still rocks, and it's from 1986.

I want my Sci-Fi action dirty, not looking like a Final Fantasy game. E.g. District 9, that was pretty damn cool. Also, if it has to be 3D to be regarded as good, doesn't that tell one something about the actual story?

I'll wait for the reviews to come in, watch it in 2D when it's on DVD and them maybe change my opinion. Until then, It's nothing I'm looking forward to.
I need around tree fiddy.

Trailer looks great, story looks great. Looks fabulous. Throw it in 3D and it will be that much more entertaining. I hope the English theater gets it here in 3D otherwise I'll have to go twice: once in English and again in German for the 3D.

My guess is that its going to be very entertaining. Even if it turns out that the story and plot is mediocre, its still going to be worth the money. Just don't have the expectation that its going to be an Oscar worth drama that will change the way you view life and stuff like that.

I was watching Law Abiding Citizen in "Artis" few days ago and they were advertising that they switched to digital and will be showing Avatar in 3D.
