Title: AVATAR....
Post by: average on December 20, 2009, 11:43:37 AM
I'm not big on spending a bunch of money at the movies but I am a HUGE movie buff so I had to see what all the hoopla was about. But from the moment I saw the first the trailer, I knew that I was going to have head downtown and check this out in IMAX. And to make matters even better they decided to offer it only in 3D in IMAX. All I can say is if you haven't see a movie in 3D/IMAX3D than this movie is the cherry popper for you!! Not a dull moment, special effects were definetly on point....enough said...post your views here.  O0

i'm waiting for the 700 mb AVI to hit the torrents, re-encode it for my phone, then i'll watch it at work on the ahem, very small screen. :)

i hear it's pretty cool though. imax + 3d = wow.

Not a fan of 3D, but the movie was amazing.

Too much hippie/liberal B.S. for me and way too long.  While not the best 3D it was interesting.

saw it last night, I thought the 3d was really cool and the movie was much better than I was expecting.

ok, instead of my favorite format (700Mb avi) i had to settle for a dvd rip... and it sucked. the rip was nearly flawless, reencoded to something i prefer, but the movie just sucked.

ok, i can't really say it sucked, cause i only watched 2/3rths of it. fell asleep towards the end.

maybe there is a awy to stay awake through an entire movie that was made after 1983, but i doubt it.

Saw it in IMAX 3D and it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. This changes filmmaking forever, the special effects were absolutely unbelievable and I for one completely enjoyed the story. 3D may finally catch on because it was absolutely spot on in this movie, it usually feels so forced.
By the end of the movie I had forgotten there was anything but what I was watching.
