The Navi and their lifestyle is pure awesome.
Hear hear!
Watched Avatar TWICE in IMAX 3D and I know another nut who went TWELVE times.
Anyway... I am going to get that Blu Ray, baby. Apparently it's one of the best visually mastered Blu Ray's to date picture quality wise.
Note that I am not getting the current Blu Ray though.
Fox is milking this franchise out as much as they can, so the only Blu Ray available right now is the movie without any fancy extras. I love extras!
Shame on you Fox!
I am waiting for the real deal when they made enough money on those who couldn't wait and bought this one anyway.

My mates have been telling to go watch it in 3D and only in 3D, Imax if possible. I wonder if it's still on or if I missed my cue..

Another recommendation comes from the censors in Beijing. Apparently they cut its already limited run short to make room for a less popular Confucious glorification drama, and banned it completely from Tibet. I wonder if has to do with the premise of the film being colonial exploitation of peaceful aliens...

I spent the whole movie hoping to see a nipple.

I thought this was a thread on Avatar: the Last Air Bender. They should have renamed this movie to something else. :/

Yeah, a trivial enough story, but I loved the visuals.

What's even more promising, with a beginning like that, Avatar can have many exciting sequels, all based on highlights from American history
Maybe actually make movies about American history.

I was excited when Avatar was released before I heard about the plot.

Never saw it. Will treat it in the same contempt as Titanic.

I'll wait until it appears on the telly.

The important question is - "Would you hump a blue alien?".
Never stopped Captain Kirk.

The story was no different than..

Dances with Wolves (Instead of Avatar, this should should have been called Dances with Blue People)
The Last Samurai
Pocahontas
etc.

There was absolutely no imagination done for the story at all. It was a standard, run of the mill, redone 4 billion times "Big bad company/government/country/whatever going after small local/native/"savage"/whatever". You need look no further than the fact they actually called the mineral they were mining "Unobtanium". Are you serious? That was the best you got?

But, still, I liked the movie. As I liked DwW and Samurai as well. The imagination was in leaps and bounds with regards to the CGI and the world they made, so that somewhat makes up for lack of anything with regard to the story. At least, for me.

Titanic, OTOH, just sucked.
