    Avatar Movie - bought the hype!

    I took the mini-knights to see it last night. Visually stunning, plot-wise lame and predictable. Still worth the watch and I'd suggest IMAX if you can.

    Anyone else see it yet?

    Agreed.

    It was the first 3D movie i've seen where my mind was able to lose the gimmick of a "3D experience" and just go with it.

    It was amazing.

    I saw a bootleg of it the other day, even with the shity quality it was enjoyable, though you knew from the beginning where it was all headed. So yea, plot was shit. And the ending was predictable too. But it was still entertaining. I give it a B-

    Saw the midnight show in normal cinema.
    Sister saw it later on Sunday in 3D.
    I envy her.

    i saw it in 3D. 3D makes my eyes water something chronic, so when i leave the cinema i look like i've been crying.

    As the movie finished, the guy sitting next to us made a comment to the guys behind us about talking through the movie, and one of them punched him! That was a bit scary.

    Anyway, i really liked the movie. I'll have to see it again with my husband now

    Saw it a few weeks back in 3D. It was okay. Not stunning, but not bad either. Markus liked it.

    Yeah, the plot is very derivative, as is the plot to Pocahontas. Still good watchin' though.
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    I'd rather see 15 minutes of highlights in 3D than watch the whole tiresome thing.
