So much win. I feel vindicated. One of the best theater experiences I've had in a long time. The sense of depth was fantastic to the point where I totally forgot I was wearing the glasses and was just fully immersed into the world Cameron created. Was the story anything new? Not really, but it didn't bother me in the slightest because I bought into everything fully. Some of the best CG I've ever seen. Yeah, I'll be seeing this again in the theater, and I never do that. Also, Ribisi is the perfect new Paul Reiser.

But the question is does it change movie making FOREVER?? Lol. All bs aside I want to see this soon.

[Abraham Smashington]

Change it? No. Never thought it would. But he kinda brought "awe" back in my opinion. Just felt like a kid while watching it, which is nice. Yet it's not a kid's flick. Also, I want to bang a Na'vi.

You didn't say it would change things forever, but Cameron did which is where the backlash for the movie started. That being said it does look like a cool flick and I want to see it soon.

I'm number one in the box office! What a twist!

Seeing James C.'s Avatar this morning with the wifey, as well as Ari and Sarah! Can't wait to see the glory of this film in it's sexy IMAX 3-Dness!!!!

I actually hope that movie is decent. I rather liked the series.

Oh the anima was cool! But how many movies besides Dolph Lundgren's He-Man can we say kicked ass in the anima to live action genre? Haha He-Man the movie.

OK, the wife and I saw this in 3D this afternoon. We both really, really liked it, but felt that it could have easily had 20 minutes knocked out of it. The pace really needed to be picked up throughout the movie (yes, even in the final battle sequence). I'll need to dwell on it a bit more to decide if it's a movie that I ever need to see again, though.

Wow. This movie flew by for me. My only issue was that I wanted it on blu right after we left. The CGI was fucking phenomenal IMO. And this was probably the best use of 3d in a major motion picture yet. It didn't beat you over the head and for some reason I think that may work against it.

[Shit Dickface]

Gonna go see this shit for free on Xmas Day.

I was very happy with the whole film! I wouldn't change shit. The 3D, CG, plot, pace, acting, dialog, and everything else was so well laid out IMO. I do disagree with you Rob I think the strong lack of real violence allows this to be a kids movie as much as Star Wars was for me when I was only 5 years old. Not comparing the two!

The submersive world that Cameron has created feels so real that you never question it. I found myself lost in the moon that they had landed on.

I hope they are working on a franchise here. I could see a whole new universe created from this mold. Fan-fucking-tastic movie! It would be a crime to leave this with just one movie. I demand a Squeakwel!

After watching it for a second time, I found myself really getting emotional

  Spoiler: Huge plot point! 

once the tree goes down. Fuck, the way Cameron captured the loss and pain in that scene absolutely kills me. Plus, the emotion that Neytiri shows is more powerful than most non-cgi actors could conjure up.

The second time flew by just as much as the first time did.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah. I got a bit choked up too. 'twas weird. The more I think about the movie the more I dig on it. I get all of the criticisms that people have but it just didn't bother me.

The one thing that took me outta the movie everytime was the nerd avatar. We just kept picturing him in Grandma's Boy. "I am a robot..."
