Avatar

Has anyone went to see this movie and what did you think about it. I went and saw it in 3-D.

It would be polite when starting such a thread to tell us what you thought of it.

I've watched a cam. I liked some of it's message.

I thought it was a great movie. It will be one that I will buy in the future when it comes out on DVD. I went and saw it in 3-D. The whole movie was in 3-D and that was surprising to me.

I really enjoyed it the other night. I saw the 3D version and I plan to see it again while it's still in theaters.

I saw it in 3D at an IMAX theater while on my honeymoon and it was awesome. I'll see it again sometime soon, but unfortunately there aren't any IMAX theaters near where I am now

I saw in 3D IMAX too and loved it.
I didn't knew anything about the movie and for the 10 first minuts i though it was going to suck. But it didn't!

I've been to see it five times so far, and it's always fresh. I see new things in every viewing as the movie has incredibly subtle details which only draw attention to themselves on repeat screenings. The nuances of the digital acting are so finessed that it's hard to believe those creatures on screen aren't real and ONLY exist in a hard drive somewhere...
I'd heartily recommend it.

I liked the movie. Follow your heart that was the message for me. Do the right thing although you are in shit.

I only watch it once. Been waiting for a proper copy for download in torrent. Next movie for me to watch in 3 D is Alice in Wonderland.

Haven't seen in. Have no intention of seeing it.
Alice in Wonderland, OTOH, I'll go see on opening day.

Hi!

First of all, the visual effects alone are worth watching it. It is really amazing how far virtual computer-generated movies have come since the "Final Fantasy" movie.

The Story is sort of a "Dance With Wolves"-Plot in a sci-fi setting and makes you think "Humans? Bunch of assholes that should be kicked at every opportunity, shame that I am one of'em"... Other than that, it is about as Hollywood as it gets, Military types are brainless jocks high on testosterone, scientists always want to save the world, project managers would sell their grandmothers and in the end the Hero gets the girl... But still, the amazing visuals more than make up for it and it is a graet movie to watch.

Also, I recommend watching it in 3D. Even if the effects are not THAT mind-boggling, it does add a lot of atmosphere, and other than in "normal" movies, here I do reccomend sitting in the front rows, all the better to be immersed in the experience although it makes catching the whole pictura all at once a bit difficult.
One other thing I noticed about 3D is: As the movie-makers still played with ****ming and focussing, my visual cortex rebelled at first as this puts constraints on picking out your own focus as you would naturally do in threedimensional environments, and "forcibly" getting your eyes ripped away from what you were just watching was a bit disconcerting for me at first and made for a bit of "motion sickness"... I had to learn to let myself be led around by the camera, which took me some half an hour...

Well. My 2 cents.

The thing to remember is that even in a TRADITIONAL movie, the director will rack focus on you to show you what you SHOULD be looking at.
3D is not adding anything new to that except the fact that some items APPEAR to be closer to you than others.
I am booked in for my sixth viewing next tuesday...

Sorry, but it's not allowed to share music. See rule no. 13.

I had a very similar experience and have spoken to other friends, some of whom also made similar comments.
The first time I saw Avatar 3D, after about 30 mins or so I had a weird sensation of unease and a mild headache, so I tootk the glasses off for a minute or two and the sensation went away and I was able to watch the rest of the movie in 3D with no trouble. The second time I saw it, I had no trouble either. I was wondering if the fact that you still get some peripheral normal vision from the corners of the glasses might somehow.
I don't normally wear glasses, if that could be anything to do with it.

You don't watch a movie like Avatar from a bootleg cam.

When i saw the movie for the first time, i was watching the 3d commercials before the main event, and about 5 minutes into the trailers, i developed a BLINDING headache. It got worse and worse(I thought i was about to have a stroke), until it just went away on it's own just before the movie started...
I think the REALD 3D technology, with the circularly polarising lenses take your brain a short time to get used to.
