    It was OK. The plot did enough to keep me watching, but the movie as a whole was lacking in characterization to make me invest in what I was watching. The CGI was pretty and all, but it did nothing for me.

    I will also no longer feel the need to waste money on 3D after that.

        Anyone see Avatar in IMAX?

        I was hoping that's what I'd get to see it in but it's not looking good...

        Looks like I'll have to go regular. I'm going with a group of people on Wednesday. Looking forward to it...sounds like the Critics and yahoo users really liked it.

          Avatar is set to be a trilogy so perhaps we'll see more of the other characters going forward.
          Where was this said?

          And it easily could have a sequel that deals with the human reaction to being forcibly shoved off of a planet. But a 3rd?

            Huh...I got to say I am a little surprised to hear you say that. (I assumed you would love it) Seeing your opinion though makes me want to see the movie even less.

                Well you tend to like crappy movies (it was a joke)

                I dunno just an assumption.

                  What a coincidence. That's why I figured you'd love it.

                    Cameron has been working on this for 14 years. He mentioned it at Comicon and it several interviews.

                      I saw it in 3D at the IMAX in Burbank over the weekend. I can't imagine seeing it any other way. At the very least you need to see it in 3D. IMAX just takes it to a whole new level. This movie pretty much transcended anything that's been out in probably 15 years. There really isn't anything that can compare to it. It's completely worth it to spend the extra 5 bucks for IMAX.

                        It's going to change the way movies are made from this point forward.

                          Is that supposed to make me like it more or something? I'm not sure what you were going for with your reply.

                            How the movie was made, doesn't change the overall result. Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean you have to like the story.

                              So...as a person with a biology background I was curious how a colleague of mine would describe things in Avatar. She said while the special effects were good the story was awful (she agreed with the general "Dances with Wolves in space" idea). Also as a scientist it was hard to fully suspend disbelief and that many of the animals were just plain annoying in that there adaptations seemed totally unneccessary IE they made them crazy just to make them crazy. I have a feeling that with my background I too would find it annoying.

                              I also heard that Cameron wrote the entire movie over a 3 day weekend. Yeah. If a movie only takes that long to write its going to be a little short on plot.

                                It was directed at your comment on the CGI and 3D. Meaning, that pretty much all movies in the future will have elements of how this movie was made and produced.
