Is really good. If you have the choice see it in 3D. It's amazing.

It was pretty good, but not the cinema changing event that Cameron was saying it was gonna be.
Visually it was amazing, the definition of Scenery Porn, but it was pretty much a standard Humans are Bastards, Magical Natives story.
Still good though.

I saw it today. It was definitely the best CGI I've ever seen.
The plot was v. predictable and not BAD but it wasn't really good either.
But it was just so amazingly pretty that it was worth seeing.

Saw it yesterday in IMAX 3D. I agree with Ket, generally. I was particularly disappointed that there were some really interesting questions that the whole exercise could have posed, that they more or less ignored to make Dances With Smurfs.
Oh well. It was REALLY good-looking.

I liked it, except for the part where the film parallels 500 years of Europeans trying to absolve their guilt for colonization. To this end, I would've loved to see Avatar without Sully...we don't need any more films about white men going tribal and saving indigenous people that apparently can't help themselves.

It would have been a much better movie without Sully.
Or they could have just included Sully, and made different corporations and different PMCs after the ore. One could get the side of the colonists and one could want to wipe them out and we'd end up with a scifi French and Indian war which would have been awesome.
My biggest problem with it was that the characters were all very stereotypical. It's true that the plot was ridden with white guilt and very predictable, but it wasn't a bad plot. It's worked before and it still worked.
But even within that plot they could have made characters that were more human and less cookie cutter.

I watched it last night. I enjoyed it. I found it hilarious after that movie they played a soft song at the credits. Even funnier was the fact that it resembled the song from Titanic xD

I thought it was pretty good as well, I agree it could of gone without sully and his want to join the tribe since his human life sucked. It was entertaining for the full 3 hours at least.
I'm more excited to see the Avatar: The Last Air Bender though.

Yeah, predictable plot, but the special effects make it worth seeing if you can deal with the furries.

Sweet movie. I <3ed it. Makes me sad knowing Humans would never be able to please a 10 ft woman like that without using the whole arm.
