Just got back from seeing Avatar

[Nostalgiabuff]

i went and saw it a second time yesterday with my wife. She had no interest in it and is not a big Sci-fi fan but I told her she had to see it. You know what, she loved it and wants to go see it again. 3D does not add a lot to the movie, but it does add to the experience. It was so cool sitting in the theater as they are walking through the jungle and you see the insects flying around your head and the fern branches coming out around you while the camera follows them.

just read in entertainment weekly that the DVD will have at least 40 minutes additional footage put in and that there will be a sequel.

I really hate CGI but I loved this film. I just saw it this morning, on IMAX 3D (still sold out!), so luckily we got our tickets online. What a fabulous feast for the eyes. I want to see it again.

I guess you don't anymore...lol.

But seriously...CGI done right...can be fantastic.

It just passed SW for third all time. but is it fair since imax tickets are expensive?

The list is very different if it's adjusted for inflation...

I like that list.

I think it is representative of colonialism throughout history. For example, the same thing happened here with Aboriginal people.

Great movie and I would also love to see it again at the IMAX in 3D.

Yea. Same thing happened here (US). After reading various synopsis of the movie and the reviews of people I trust, Avatar sounds like a movie I've seen a number of times and quite honestly, I don't know if I want to see that movie again. Amazing technical achievements aside, couldn't I just watch A Man Called Horse again and call it good?
