No Interest In Avatar Whatsoever!!!

screener copy of it has been out on the web for a few days , not exactly cinema experience but more or less the same as the quality on a dvd release

obviousley you would have to go through illegitimate means to get it :p
 
I took my boys to see Percy Jackson yesterday- forgetting it was half term! By the time we had driven round the car park 5 times to find a space and then queued for 20 minutes for tickets we had missed the start so my eldest son suggested we saw Avatar instead. I must admit the thought of a three hour film (I still have nightmares about Pirates of the Carribean 3...) did not appeal to me plus the cost of the fim and the glasses came to
 
It is a genuinely "Nice!" movie.

I can't remember the last time I left the cinema with a huge grin in all honesty, such an uplifting movie in the end.

It steals from a list of about twenty other movies but that didn't bother me, the execution was a bit numb but the movie itself was very warming.

The star of the movie was Pandora itself though, incredible.
 
Can't disagree more. Titanic was a huge snooze, apart from a minute or two (you can probably guess which scene ;). It's a ship, and it sinks. Massively overhyped and over-the-top panto-like acting. Awful.
 
Just not intersted in this movie at all. Seen the trailers and to me its just looks like a lot of other movie that have been and gone only with blue aliens in it.
 
Totally disagree with the comments about the CGI being unconvincing.

I thought the virtual characters looked not just realistic, but tangible; light years ahead of anything that has been seen before in cinema. I say 'virtual characters' because performance capture is not CGI in the traditional sense, but looks more like actors wearing prosthetics.

Of course if you are looking for faults you are obviously going to find them. I watched Avatar with an open mind and think it is a milestone in modern cinema that the rest of Hollywood will take years to catch up with.
 
Amen.

But unfortunately it doesn't seem to stop us. We love to comment on things we've never seen or heard, people we've never met and issues we haven't got a clue about or, at best, only heard about 5 minutes ago. We can type without thinking and form entire philosophies at the drop of a hat.

We are the new intellectuals. Our motto is "Ignorance is waaay better than bliss".
 
Theres some very touchey people on here.
I think I make a valid point.
I think most films are RUINED by CGI.
It's obvious and lazy.
How many times have we been subjected to a scene that we're supposed to suspend disbelief and kid ourselves that it's real-when it even LOOKS fake.
Well, that just takes me "out of the movie" and ruins it entirely.
Even the new A-Team trailer contains an obviously computer generated OTT scene.
There is a place for CGI in films of course, The Spider man films are a good example,
but i make no apologies for saying that Avatar and the like, look like creative diarrhoea to me.
