Title: The movie "Avatar"............
Post by: Mikekoz13 on February 14, 2010, 05:00:45 PM
The Family and I went and saw "Avatar" yesterday. The Mrs. was not too anxious to see it and I was little luke warm from what I had read about it.

But boy were we surprised!! It was a unanimous four "thumbs up" from the Koz Family! I loved this movie! It was classic good vs. bad but I loved the story. The movie was in 3D and was visually stunning and just beautiful to watch.

The movie is 2 hours, 40 minutes long but that was a short 2hr 40 min!!!

Didn't want to see it, I hate the theatres. But, I must say seeing it in 3D at the IMAX was pretty satisfying.

I think I ran over a half a dozen people getting to the washroom after...  O0

I'm not a big fan of theaters either but some movies MUST be seen in the theater (even though I have a 57 inch big screen). This is one of them.... but I will be purchasing it once it hits the stores.

I also saw it in 3D, and it was a major waste of money :Xo!. It definitely wasn't anything special.

I saw it a few weeks ago...wanted to see it in 3D, but made it to the last show of the night and only the 2D version was available...

...still very enjoyable and visually stunning!!! O0

Shame on you.  :)

Avatar was a great movie. I do get tired of the constant  liberal we are killing the planet, corps are evil themes But still it was well done and entertaining, a cowboy and indians movie where the indians win.

My favorite quote. "They killed their mother"

It was a great movie..Lots of people I know thought the story was weak...which, maybe it was. But it was entertaining and everyone I know who has seen it have all mentioned the same thing: You come to a point where you "forget" you aren't on Pandora yourself.

I saw it twice...Tried to see it a third time yesterday, as i'd like to see it in IMAX, but I arrived an hour early and it was already sold out...weeks and weeks after opening!

I know, I know.  My wife makes fun of me all the time about that.  I just get tired of sitting and get up and wait in the lobby or whatever. About 30 to 45 minutes is all I can take.  I just lose interest.  LOL 
What can I say, I get in a dark room in a comfortable chair and it's nite, nite Stephen!

i think avatar was spectacular. James Cameron laid the foundation of future film making with this movie.

We can only hope.

I liked his other movies.
Aliens
Abyss
Titanic
But he did not personnaly create follow ups to those.

Though he did do the second Terminator so there is hope.

I saw this movie on Saturday night in 3D. It completely surpassed any expectations I had about this movie. I was totally blown away by the detail and concepts, it was visually awesome to me. I had heard the story was weak, but I did not find this, if anything the underlying messages were very clear. I loved the idea of riding a flying dragon and using your pony tail as an interface to the dragon's mind, perhaps us bald guys may be at a disadvantage when it comes to dragon flying.
An awesome movie !
