great reviews? i saw 2 and a half stars out of 4.

 

This doesn't have near the same draw as Titanic did.

 

It's got 82% positive at Rotten Tomatoes, and 96% among critics. This is one of the few movies I'm going to make a special trip to the theaters to see -- I really want to see this in Imax 3d as opposed to waiting for it on DVD or Blu-Ray.

 

yeah, and the goddam ticket was 13 bucks

 

I like technology and I can't wait to see this movie.

James Cameron turned down a chance to make "Avatar" for Twentieth Century Fox more than a decade ago to wait until technology caught up with his imagination.
Audiences will decide this weekend whether the 3-D science-fiction adventure was worth the delay and the estimated $380 million that News Corp.'s Fox and partners Dune Entertainment and Ingenious Film Partners spent to make and market the movie.
As of Friday, "Avatar" accounted for 87 percent of weekly ticket sales at online vendor Fandango.com. It could generate $75 million in U.S. ticket sales this weekend, according to Gitesh Pandya, editor of New York-based Box Office Guru.

"Avatar" was shot using a dual-camera 3-D system that Cameron, 55, invented with partner Vince Pace after the director's 1997 success with "Titanic," the all-time top-grossing film. Executives at Fox, the studio that backed "Titanic," were willing to start work on "Avatar" almost right away.

howard the duck anyone?

 

I don't really like CG effects. It's always so overdone. A whole damn movie in CG might be a bit too over-the-top. That said, if I find myself headed to the movies in the next few weeks, I'll probably check it out h: Hell, it's gotta be better than that retarded vampire movie

 

 

dammit really? I paid extra for the 3D
