BF2S Forums Avatar - Who's seen it?

I thought the Smurf and Dances With Wolves references would have worn off by now. Shouldn't rely on the Internet to know when a horse carcass is thoroughly flogged.

Watched it yesterday and I don't understand what you found in it. It was cheesy and predictable and just plain shit. 3 whole hours of cheese.

I ate mushrooms and saw this last night in 3d, by far the best experience EVER

Do you remember the glowing trees, and those flying creatures with the brilliant colors? Imagine that enhanced by mushrooms, it was AWESOME... I will be doing that again!

Towards the middle I actually was absorbed into the world, I felt like I was one of the people and was so worried that one of them might die once I realized that was the reality

And my recent experience with skydiving really made me squeeze back in my seat when they jumped off things and banked really hard... I know exactly what thats like lol so I felt like I was falling with them

Well I saw it Saturday night in 3D, it's absolutely amazing! It took me a while to get used to 3D but once you did you're blown away by the awesome graphics.

The story was great. It seemed just like Dances with Wolves but better

The Na'vi's culture and way of life is awesome, wish I were a Na'vi instead of a human Hell they have that carbon stuff reinforcing their bones

Spoiler (highlight to read):
My only let down of the entire movie is that Trudy dies. I can't think of a single movie I've seen her in where she doesn't die but this time was a little too far.

She dies in Fast and furious 4.

Try watching a movie from the 50's or 60's if you think Avatar is boring..

There is a big difference between watching a film on TV and in a cinema.
That and the playstation generations has such short attention spans films have to be endless mindless action to hold their concentration.....

it reminded me a lot of Fern Gully, you know the tree hugging propaganda bullshit they force fed us in grade school.

It's a shame the public can't sit around for more then 2 hours without moaning 'tl;dr.' If only Cameron made Project 880 in to a 4-5 hour (or more) epic with the same technology as Avatar. He's said that he wrote enough material for 3 movies, but that seems only a reference to the length, as Avatar seems to have covered most of the bases.

Even without everyone bitching about tl;dr, 4+ hours is way too fucking much for any movie, and I sat through King Kong without any trouble.  The way Avatar was made streamlined the plot and characters in a way that kept the movie from dragging, but still kept it reasonable and managed to pack just about everything important.  No one wants to watch Sully run away from everything on Pandora for 20 minutes.
