OMG...
What an amazing experience!
If you only see one movie this year blah blah blah
I rarely see a movie in the theatre and almost never see this type of movie. Usually I stick to comedies, unless it's Michael Moore or something along those lines.
Avatar was definitely the best movie that I've ever seen. Visually incredible, pretty decent plot and turns out to be a beautiful love story!
Well worth $15.(American). I saw the deluxe 3D version and can't imagine that the Imax one could be any better. It was sold out for the next few days.
I heard that it cost 300 million $ to make but I must say that it didn't look to me that they spent more than 295... |

I've seen Avatar, albeit in 2D only, and while much of the plot had some familiar elements, the appearance and texture of it was, in a word, breathtaking.
The forests of Pandora were lush and beautiful creations filled with bizarre yet credible creatures, and the futuristic human military hardware was (to this gun nerd/military buff at least) totally believable. |

I saw it in 3D, booked out in a lot of places in Sydney.
The setting/landscape of Pandora makes up for pretty much any plot short-comings. |

Seen two times the IMAX version. Totally worthed
The plot have huge holes in it, but I'm guessing that they had to make the movie at manageable length not to give headaches to 3d viewers. |

Is it kid friendly? My 8 year old has been begging to be taken to the movies lately.
The Sherlock Holmes flick is off the radar because it is totally against (from what the previews show) the traditional Holmes, well that and semi nude scenes. |

@badgerbait - it's not very kid-friendly I'm affraid - decent amount of killing, not much gore though plus one sexual scene ( with tall blue guys )
@Craig007 think of it as the story for conquring the West in USA.. the story is the same. |

Badgerbait- Haban1336 is correct. It's got a lot of violence and overall is way too intense for a child. I was happy to not have had my 11 year old come along.
Craig007- I also dislike sci-fi movies and books. Initially when my husband mentioned going to see Avatar, on a date, I wasn't very interested. I decided to go with an open mind and see what all the fuss was about. I was blown away immediately by the beauty and detail. It was like seeing Star Wars for the 1st time way back when. Definitely something to see on the big screen. |

I haven't seen it but probably will. My wife is a sci-fi buff.
I thought David Letterman had an interesting take. To paraphrase, James Cameron managed to create a process to project images onto a screen and make them look like real live people! |

Thanks for the heads up Fartina and Haban!! I figure we'll just go rent Paranormal Activity and watch it right before bedtime .
No, I'm not that mean...though I did inadvertantly introduce her to Krumpus (Krampus?) this Christmas in an attempt to promote cultural comparison. |

I'm a shameless pirate in a backward country. Followed all the hype, curious about it, but I'll see it when it leaches on the net. I can't be bothered to travel 60 Km and pay a quarter of my weekly wage to see it, no matter the rumours about how good it is. |

Yes, but it was meant to be phrased as: No I haven´t seen it, this is the reason why, and I will not be seeing it in the future, either.
Claro?
I will try this film if I have time - I´ll take your word to go in with an open mind. |

when i saw it i was blown away by the visual shiny effects. They were great. But i was just disapointed about the obvious overtold story.
The only difference between avatar and ferngully is that in ferngully the excuse is magic. In avatar the excuse is technology. Oh and Robin Williams doesn't play a bat in avatar. But , shiny visual effects.
I also saw it in the normal version because i hate how gimmicky they always make the 3d movies. They get anything pointy up in your face just to be able to point out that the movie is 3D... I heard the 3D version is actually not that bad. |

Actually in IMAX version the 3D is "dialed back". It's not as in usual IMAX movies, because Avatar is 2 and a half hours and if they make every scene 3D, everyone will get splitting headache.
An as far as magic is concerned, allow me to quote one of my favorite writers, Arthur C. Clarke:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" |

Nope and I don't plan to either. Mainly because of the obvious political propaganda in the film.
Not gonna speak any more of that issue but that is why I refuse to see it. |

Pure idea theft and mixing.
I am a Sci-Fi maniac, and read a lot of books.
So far Avatar seems to me like a medley of Frank Herbert's Pandora from "Destination: Void" series and Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Word for World Is Forest"; with a mix of Disney's Pocahontas and R. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers".
Nothing original. Maybe a novelty for the many ones who did not read the novels it was derived from, or watched Pocahontas. |

I saw it with a 9yo and a 15 yo, both boys, and it was GREAT! The 3D effect was very good.
As a botanist/agronomist, I loved the idea of interconnectivity of living this, which is more of the model of biology that biologists are looking at now.
Great movie! |

@ dr stephen williams
That idea was taken from Frank Herbert; I wonder if his estate received copyrights from whoever financed the movie. |

I loved it, went with 5 friends and we were all blown away. The 3D was awesome we hadn't seen any before but next 3D film and we'll be back!
Wonder if one could develop a modality from the idea? Exchange Old Body for n

I live too far from any movie theaters that would show this film,
so I will have to wait for the DVD version.
I understand that the main appeal of the film is not the story,
but the computer animation and special effects.

Actually a lot of Sci-Fi authors are taking ideas from each other. Just check proliferation of "orcs", invented from Tolkien.
But as far as Avatar goes, Russian Sci-Fi writhers Strugatski brothers were describing jungle world, called Pandora, on which two sentient races live together. The dominant race is dog-like and there is a human, that started to live among them... |

Nearly a necro, but we have to allow for later release dates in the real world.....
I saw the 3D version last night, and was quite blown away by the FX, especially when they were doing sparks and ash etc. I was like that the first time I saw colour TV though.
I was quite impressed walking back to my car that the cinema car park was in colour, HD and 3D. Funny how we take it for granted all the time.
The movie was a bit cowboys and indians, except the indians won for a change. The moral seems to be that its not OK to use overwhelming force to acquire natural resources, despite the fact that that's how we got them all. Magic trees sem to be a great help though. |

The review I received was, "Dances With Wolves: In Space."
Is this a fair statement?
Some who over-heard the conversation added:
"Pocahontas: In Space"
"Ferngully: In Space" |
