Also the Colonel has a great crowning moment of awesome when [spoiler]he kicks open the door to the exterior helipad, causing deadly gas to rush into the control room. He shoots a rifle dry into the escaping helicopter. And then unloads his pistol into the helicopter. And then, some guy bring him a mask and he's all like "Okay, fine. I guess I need to breathe."[/spoiler]

Not much? They go for a more subtle 3D effect; there's only one scene I can remember where they kick stuff in your face.

Thanks for answering that Ace, though I should have been more spacific I ment use of 3D in movies at large. The only movie that I'd reaaly like to see in 3D is Coraline.

Haven't seen the film yet, will catch the 3D viewing.

This, however, I found hilarious:

MOD NOTE: Remember, guys, we're talking Avatar. We're done with any other discussion. ;)

(Some posts removed for no longer making sense. And by some, I just mean one. :p )

I don't plan to ask a grinning bobcat anything.

CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE WIND

...Huh? Oh. I got distracted there for a second. Anyway...

We plan to give Avatar a watch soon. Apparently, my family wished to let me know that it was REALLY GOOD.

...Well, this is also the same family that thought Derailed was a good movie, but...eh.

I saw Avatar. It was definitely a notch above most Hollywood, but I rather disliked the 3D. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wasn't in love with it.

Saw it yesterday IN THE THIRD DEMENSION. Yes, the plot was a bit predictable and in parts there was a blunt allegory of the Iraq War*. But the world-building of everything involved was simply incredible and very immersive, the character development was great, and the ending was epic in every sense of the word.

*[spoiler]To quote the Colonel: "A Pre-emptive strike is our only chance for security! We must fight TERROR WITH TERROR!"[/spoiler]
