This is the next miestone for the director James Cameroon after the movie Titanic. Avatar movie is the excellent and technologically developed movie which should be viewed by everyone without failing.
There HAD to be some unexplained elements in the movie, they just don't matter that much. I don't really care what Unobtanium does, I'm just a spectator, watching from a distance. It could be used to build massive buildings, it could be used to make space craft, I really don't care. It's there, it's valuable, it's a plot device, that's all it really needs to be.
The Na'vi's universal USB? Pretty damn cool and innovative I say. It's a good way to show how intune they are with nature, that they can literally jack into it.
Also, how the Eywa (the great tree) seeds are moved, I think Neytiri says that Eywa doesn't take sides, but is dedicated to the balance of life. It makes sense that they'd be attracted to Jake, since he's the only one who had the idea of summoning the other tribes to fend off the Company.
There are other bits as well that are unexplained, but they don't matter dammit! I walked out of the cinema thinking;
"Damn that was awesome!" The plot was old, but it was presented amazingly, and I don't just mean in terms of the CG. It was just brilliant, and I can't put my finger on why. I didn't want all of the details laied out on paper like I was an idiot, if the details are there then you need to find them.
One minor gripe I had was that some of the Foilage was never seen again, like that orange plant that retracted on touch. I assume it was meant to catch whoever touched it and digest that part. I think it would've been awesome to see a soldier tread on that when the Na'vi lead a counter attack charge. But whatever.

Don't mind me guys, just being a sci-fi cliché.
Unobtanium... get it? unobtainable?
other than the name of that bloody rock that movie was the best I have ever seen. Something as creative as Pandora and he can't think up a serious name for the rock that's the reason for the whole movie.
You know, it really seems that if you hype something long enough before it's released, everyone ends up thinking it's a big steaming pile of rat feces handed to you on a sandwich with bread made out of rotting dog tongues.
Anyway, the only real part that was bothersome to me is why they decided to not build a gun INTO the mech's arm and WHY WOULD YOU GIVE IT A COMBAT KNIFE?!

because then it's cool like evangelion
Saw this yesterday, absolutely fantastic. Best film I've watched in ages. The scenery was just beautiful all the time. If you haven't watched it go watch it now!
i've seen the 2D version
definately did not live up to the hype.
it was OK but 2012 was better
impressive work on the development of the alien race and culture ; but its so obviously ripped from the Native Americans

I sincerely apologise for having an opinion.

Already done and done.
Ah, damnit. Had it all planned out tonight, but turns out my local cinema is not showing the movie. Tomorrow it is then.

So you had it all planned out, but your plan didn't include checking the cinema?
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;19098772]So you had it all planned out, but your plan didn't include checking the cinema?[/QUOTE]
Exactly. It has been running several times a day since Friday, then when I looked in the newspaper I was rather dissapointed.
I watched. All i can say is IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. When i first saw the game i was like narh i wouldnt buy it but watching the movie makes me wanna buy it a little. NUMBER 2 PLZ
Change in plans. It's showing here after all.
Meanwhile, Asian and European film makers continue to laugh at American "cinema".
Watched this 2 days ago in 3D. Best film I've seen probably in about 2 years.
For me it beats Iron Man, Wolverine, and everything else I can remember watching recently.

It doesn't sound like you've seen very good films.

Iron Man kicked ass.
But wolverine sucked.
[QUOTE=Majache;19088178]Well how can you not root for the Na'vi? The marines were blundering stupid murderers with explosives and the Na'vi were peaceful magic blue elf cats who loved nature and peace and shit.
The colonel might as well have had a black curly mustache and a cape.[/QUOTE]
Fucking [i]this[/i].
I felt like I was watching an episode of the fucking Smurfs, and the Na'vi were the Smurfs and the humans were all that evil dude who kept trying to eat the Smurfs.
The humans were so fucking one-dimensional. I don't care if he wants to cast the Marines as the villains, but the least he could have done was give them complex personalities and motivations.

[QUOTE=TunnelSnake;19079515]It was a Maguffin, like the suitcase in Pulp Fiction[/QUOTE]
And an embarrassingly obvious and stupid one, too.
This movie was too busy making a political statement about how the big bad Americans (Marines) are always trying to rape and fuck up the 3rd world nations (Na'vi) than in trying to actually have any [i]science[/i] in its science fiction.
What's that? The whole plot revolves around people trying to get some specific mineral? Why do they want it and what does it do? Oh who cares, let's just add another sequence of bullshit magical forests and big-eyed blue cat-people.

I feel the same way. I kinda felt like I was watching a cartoon with how shallow the human characters were.

ITT: geeks argue over a movie and try and win confidence over the internet.
Yesterday I watched it.
The CGI was not that good, and I expected the 3D to be more 3D.
The general plot was Pocahontas in space, as expected, but enough details were changed. It was good I guess.
