Avatar (2009)

I've been hearing about this one for a while, and wasn't too interested, but I just saw a commercial a little while ago and it looks pretty sweet. This is one I'm gonna have to check out.

It'll be released in theaters December 18th.

Is that off of that cartoon with the Airbender and whatnot?

No.

Ah. ok.

There is thread in the Sci-Fi forum...

dang it, bobbeh

I thought I posted a topic of this too, haha. Guess not.

Known about this for a while, heard about it ironically at the same time as The Last Airbender.

I'd like to see this. It seems that they put alot of work into it.

I saw the video game, a couple of weeks ago at an expo. It was in 3-Freakin'-D (granted you had to use glasses, and granted I've seen a 3-D on a TV without glasses).
The game looked okay (for a shooter), apparently only so many versions of that game are going to have the 3-d mode.

Film doesn't interest me after readin about it.

SAY, HAIN'T YOU ONE O' THE BOYS WHO BEEN WHACKIN' IN MAH TOOL SHED?

Also, I concur. Movie seemed meh to start with, but I'm starting to be interested in it. I hear a lot of conceptual legwork went into it, it could end up being another great.

Im interested in the movie yes, and i allso happend to know that the producers of the game and the movie have help each-other out on several ocations, that makes the movie interesting for me.

I watched it last night (opening night) with the 3D glasses and everything. Pretty cool movie. It's really a world-building movie; there's tonnes of wacky crazy rainforest stuff everywhere. Also, the mechanics of the planet remind me of Final Fantasy VII a lot, and we had a discussion about how similar it is.

Not gonna see it. I hear it's just a left-wing diatribe about evil corporations, man-made global warming, and Iraq. I get enough of that from watching.....well, everything else, I guess.

Yeah, the preachy stuff is pretty ham-handed. Nothing specific in terms of how humans ruined planets, though; they don't mention climate change or Iraq. Still, a pretty movie to look at.

As soon as people told me it reminded them of Ferngully, I was out.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I thoroughly enjoyed it :/

A+

I'm going to see it pretty soon.

I've seen better movies. I predicted Avatar's entire plotline within the first 10-15 minutes. I even managed to call out a few certain scenes.


Basically, don't expect anything new outside of the CG-I. If you've seen Fern Gully and Dances with Wolves, then you'll pretty much know what'll happen in the movie.

It's pretty, but if "pretty" is what made a movie, then I have to do nothing but laugh at all the people who said "Pretty doesn't make a movie" about Star Wars: episode 1 and Water World.

Didn't everyone hate Waterworld?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I'll see it eventually, but Sherlock Holmes is first and foremost on my list of holiday-time movies to see.
