Quoted from Dreamscale
I had tears in my eyes at several times during the movie.


Maybe cuz you just blew $40 to take your gal to it as I did. Seriously, Do we need fucken popcorn and ju ju bees everytime we go to the movies???

It was a visual experience for me that was unparalleled. I saw it in a brand new theater here. Digital "Christie" projectors. 3D as it should be seen.

I just didn't like the idea that man is always the antagonist in films like this. Felt an environmental message in it... Too cliche in Hollywood these days.

How the Navi were one with their world and we just consume ours. I know JC. Twas explained in the Matrix bettter.

All in all, gotta say I enjoyed the ride though. Was worth the Dinero.

I didn't cry though... Jeff, you big puss

Funny, James...very funny!  You guys are all cracking me up today.

Nah, actually saw it by myself...not too crowded even, as I waited a few weeks after its release.  No actual crying but tears for sure, more than once.  Very powerful for me...maybe I agree with the message and actually am against "mankind"...I don't know.  I do like rooting for the underdog, though...that's for sure.

Changing the subject here for a moment...almost done with Cabin in the Woods.  What a complete pile of fucking shit!  I'm appalled if this script is for real.  I honestly think it's a joke being played on us by with a fake "leak" in the script.  No way Whedon can actually write like this.  If I didn't know better, I'd honestly say this was written by a young kid with minimal writing skills, and even less script writing talent. Absolutely terrible!

Seems like he's having to try a bit too hard to come up with things to talk about on the Avatar one. TPM one was quite informative, this is quite good in a comedic sketch show sense, but it feels like he's just made it because Avatar is famous and he doesn't really have the passion to tear it apart.

Got to say it starts to get absurdly desperate in Part 2....

A miss on this one...needs to go back to the tone of the first one.

What I've grown increasingly tired of in later years are self aggrandizing reviewers like this guy. It's not enough anymore to "just" review the movie, you now have to act out these ridiculous quasi-autoerotic rants in the hope that your fifteen minutes of fame will last sixteen minutes. Grow the fuck up.

Hey Sniper,

I removed the post. I wasn’t trying to piss people off. I thought it was funny. Sorry. It’s gone.

My post was not meant as a shot at you, Bre. Sorry if it came across like that. It just seem that a lot of these internet reviewers are doing it for all the wrong reasons.

I saw a poster in my cinema saying that Avatar will be coming back late August for another limited 3D theatrical run with extended footage. I will need to catch it this time on the big screen to see what all the fuss is about.

Watched this earlier this evening on a borrowed ( Thank God) Blu-Ray and I have to say it was well made, and had decent special effects. I cant for the life of me understand the hype, or how it cost half a trillion but maybe it was the 3D cinema effect gimmick?
I dunno. Can't say I was moved by the emotional music that attempts to make you feel emotional for the sake of it. It was like watching 2012 at points.

I enjoyed it to an extent. It dragged like hell at times. Maybe I'm missing something but what makes this film so amazing?
The visuals were great - the story was just damp.

All in all, I did like it, and so did those around me so that's a plus.  I'd give it a 6/10.  But best movie ever? Crazy talk.

I also liked 2012.  Both movies were so much better than Inception.

3D baby. It's half the film in 2D...just Pocahontas really.

In 3D you get to walk on another planet.

You thought 2012 was much better than Inception? My head just exploded. Surely not?

Back on topic, Avatar is definitely returning to cinemas with unseen footage in 3D at the end of August (27th I think). Worth mentioning for the people who missed the experience first time around (like me!).

Yes, I'd have to say 2012 was much more entertaining, had much better characters and story than Inception.

The "extra" footage on Avatar will also be released on the new Blu Ray DVD that is supposedly coming out in September.  They made it clear that they were going to double dip on the DVD release, but so many people just had to go out and buy the inferior version immediately.  It will be shocking how many DVD's they end up selling on this.  Amazing!!

had much better characters

What movie were you watching, Jeff? And - more importantly - what were you smoking?
