  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

"I just saw Avatar" Thread

Just saw it. And you know what, my buddy and I were the only people in the theatre to stay through the credits.
 
I was trying to formulate the proper words to describe my experience watching this movie; but after restarting 3 time I'll leave it at this: FANTASTIC!
 
I was stunned, and my wife was literally speechless. As in I couldn't get her to say any words at all for the first 10 minutes of our drive home, then she basically said it was a borderline spiritual experience.

Funny, that was pretty much my experience with The Fountain. This on the other hand, I can't shut up about...

Think people will start learning Na'vi?
 
First movie in a long time where I want to go back and see it again immediately.

Some of the hokey mother nature stuff gets a little heavy handed and the writing is still typical Cameron, but my god literally everything else is just spectacular. It would have been a life-changing experience if someone else wrote the dialogue though.
 
I just watched this in IMAX 3D...OMFG!!!!

It was so good. Even though the story has been done a lot, it was absolutely amazing. The visual effects are crazy good, and the 3D is not gimmicky. It's so subtle that you almost don't even know it's there, but at the same time, without it I think it would take away so much from the film.
 
YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD THIS FILM IS- that is unless uve seen it lol. purly astonishing- mezmerizing i will probably see it 3 times in theaters. normal 3d - imax 3d and normal theater. FRICKIN BEST Ive ever seen. GO SEE IT AND AGAIN!
 
Haven't seen it, but Malick and Cameron in the same breath? Oh dear, I don't think so.
 
While I was watching it, I got the feeling that James might of had a thing for Heavy Metal. With Taarak, Taarna and the Taarakians.

It was a beautiful thing to watch, but without the 3d, the film would have been mediocre.
Lord of the Rings was more of a revolutionary film, great visual effects AND a great story with engaging characters.
 
Want to see it again!

Want to see it again!

I saw it last night as well... very impressive and I was emersed the entire time. I did get a little distracted looking for nipples though.

Ditto! I did catch myself looking for that as well, is that bad?
However, I really just want to go see it again. I found myself just looking around every inch of the screen and the images. Next time, I want to see it on IMAX. Hopefully I will get to see it again next week.:thumbup1:

I saw this on IMAX 3D last night. Far superior to even a huge, standard 3D screen. Sure, you lose a little bit cropped off the sides, but it doesn't matter. It's worth it to get that huge screen filled. The film absolutely holds up on the giant screen. I was looking for pixelization... zero. Avatar is exquisite in IMAX 3D.

People who are saying that this film is not a game-changer don't understand what they have seen. The game is changed.

Just for my own career I was thinking I would jump from my first picture right into an IMAX film if I can. Now there is no doubt in my mind -- that IMAX film will be in 3D.

I bet my last dollar that phonelines around the globe are on fire with conversations between directors, DPs and producers about how to convert their current pre-production projects into 3D -- maybe even some in-production films.

Also, consider the impact of 3D on piracy. Does anyone really want to watch a non-3D, VHS-quality "cam" copy off bit torrent of AVATAR?? No way.
