James Cameron's Avatar - General

It's even worst when it's dubbed, because everybody almost sounds the same, and just imagine the main character going into a swear rampage in French. "PUTAIN DE MERDE D'ENFANT DE CHIENNE J'VAI TE FAIRE LA PEAU HURR DURR"

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;19362361]The English they speak in the film is pretty perfect, but with a strong accent (apparently blue aliens that take 6 years to reach sound like they are from Morocco).[/QUOTE] lmao

[QUOTE=Carne;19285765]Stephen Lang [url]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002332/[/url][/QUOTE] Stephen Lang is awesome. In Public Enemies he plays the guy who shoots John Dillinger and he also played Stonewall Jackson in some Civil War movie. The guy is epic. Even if in Avatar he played an ass,he was still epic.

James Camron is going to make two more movies if the first avatar is successful and they wont take as long as the first because they have figured CG out. Wow thanks for rating bad spelling when this sentence was spell checked....

Avatar is such an awesome movie in Imax 3D. Just saw it today and didn't regret paying the extra money for it.

Going to go watch it in IMAX 3D in about an hour. Jizzing my pants already.

[QUOTE=Zeltrax;19366457]James Camron is going to make two more movies if the first avatar is successful and they wont take as long as the first because they have figured CG out.[/QUOTE] It's already grossed over $760,000,000...I'd say that's pretty successful.

[QUOTE=Beafman;19350880]Yeah I was thinking the same. They said the journey took 5 years from Earth to Pandora. Pandora is located in Alpha Centuri if you look on the avatar wikipedia. Alpha Centuri is 4,37 light years away, which would mean they were travelling at nearly the speed of light, since it only took them 5 years and not 50,000 years like it would do with conventional speeds. Out from the ships massive size I would be guessing the engines were running on either fusion power or Anti-matter, since those would be the only possible ways of getting toward that speed. Although with the plot device of Unobtanium which is a super-conducter of energy that might be the source of fuel as well. You would have to make a suspension of disbelief when it comes to the speed of the ship, since the forces of that speed would very likely rip the ship apart unless it was made of an indestructable compound.[/QUOTE] Either they're using some kind of non-conventional travel like Star Trek's warp drive, or they were going quite a but slower than light speed, since a 5 at near light speeds year trip from an outside perspective would seem quick from an inside one.

Think it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but i'll just post this link, it's about the "sex" scene: [url]http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=16277[/url] Is this really necessary?

The movie explained: [sp] Steven hawkins arrives at pandora's box and has a nap in a spas box. He then awakes as a giant freaking smurf! He gets amazed, has spirit sex with some other smurf, they fight they win, yay. Big epic fight scene with general shephard (lol) then he lies dead under big tree of bull schlucken. Then opens his eyes and cuts to black like mw2/pirates of caribbean. [/sp] :smug:

I'm sure this has already been discussed but was it really critical to the film to include a cliche spewing tough chick?

Yes. Yes it was.

Saw it last night, fantastic. I like what they've done with the alien races, linking to eachother and sharing information and how [sp]the whole planet is like a brain.[/sp]. It's good that the deity the Na'vi worship is [sp]real, but not in a stupid spiritual magical way, they're talking to the planet brain. I also like how they go near to the tree and the whole ground is link-capable, and how they all get in rings and link up to the ground when they give an instruction to the planet brain, to give it more weight. I like how when they're losing to the humans, all the species of the world team up for just a minute against the humans, that gave me a nice feelgood feeling.[/sp] Some of the dialogue was disappointing though, like when the scientist tells the project leader guy about the [sp]planet brain and how the trees with the pink dangly willow branches let you link to it[/sp] and he just laughs and says "it's a fucking tree". That didn't make me think "oh what an evil character, he's going to destroy it anyway", made me think "no you stupid prick, it's an alien tree, maybe it's not as insignificant as the trees back home. What a boring character" The story and stuff is nice though, not innovative or incredibly new but it's a nice feelgood film and it really draws you in and makes the planet, its wildlife and the culture of the Na'vi seem real.

Yes. Well if you didn't like her, at least she [sp]exploded in a big ball of flame plenty before the end of the film[/sp].

Colonel Quartich was without a doubt the most hardcore grey haired person I've ever seen, motherfucker held his breath [i]after[/i] kicking the door open and proceeded to shoot the hell out of the helicopter thingy. Equally he was a two dimensional character, whose primary purpose was to be a colossal wankface to everybody.

I just got back from seeing it. It was pretty good, but I thought it was all a bit silly really, and I found it hard to feel at all sorry for the blue guys, they looked too goofy, as did the marines and the robot things. It's like how something like Killzone (the game) is awesome just because the characters all look so badass, but it's the opposite with this. It's just that most of the characters weren't really likeable at all. I also found it annoying how everything they touched on the planet seemed to glow. It was a good film and all but it's not as great as people are making it out to be.
