if you have not seen this yet i highly recommend it. there were times in this movie when the entire audience was silenced. a very powerfull movie in many ways.

Fished with Goharley the other day. He refuted your Blue Creek story.
He did however say you rocked the yellow pole.
ps I've got an Abu that won't engage after the cast (push button won't come back out). Something you can fix?

SS am confused about what GH could have refuted. cause the part about being friggen cold was very true.

yes the problematic issue with the abu can fixed. i'll pm you on the options.

He did say you were very cold. Pm sent.

I was planning on it but circumstances have changed. Thanks for the recommendation brewdog! I'll make it a point.

I saw it. Purty graphics.

Other than that it was Dances With Wolves but instead of Sioux it was giant Ewok-Smurfs.

Good use of simile Irie. I liked DWW, so I guess I'll see this too, ewok-smurfs notwithstanding.

irie i told my wife that during the movie too. said it was a scifi DWW.

Excellent Movie! Especially when viewed in 3 D, on the big screen of the Imax theater at the Pacific Science Center.

It has been a long time since I have heard people actually clapping at the end of a movie. I thought it was excellent and would have walked out and bought a ticket for the next showing if I didn't have my kids with me.

It's a spectacle, and I mean that in the good way.

You go to see it because someone dropped $500M, and for a cool $8 (matinee) price, you can enjoy it for 2.5 hours...

Art direction and design is amazing. Underlying technology is undeniably the best-of-breed.

But as a story, it's 1 part Aliens (complete with director and actress) + 1 part Dances with Wolves (agree with Irie on that). If anything I was disappointed that there weren't any new plotlines to be found here.

Unobtanium?

Really?

Come on Cameron. LAME!!!!

Shouldn't it now be Obtainium?



Haven't seen it yet, but that's about the only thing I've heard people complain about. As for the script being weak - who cares.

I hope to see it soon!

when the subject of a plot line is mentioned or lack of. it's 2010 now, how many fresh plot lines are actually left?

"who cares" and "how many fresh polot lines are actually left"...

Me, and an unimaginably large number.

Our local fish wrap critic gave Avatar a 2 outta 5 star rating. Me thinks he would probably dismiss the Grand Canyon as being dry and dusty with little vegetation; basically, a vast emptiness. Four of us saw the movie on Christmas Day and all of us thought we got our money's worth. That's eight thumbs up! Avatar is a genuine spectacle with elements of Dancing with Wolves, Star Wars, District 9, and Lord of the Rings in it. I tried to watch the animated feature "UP" the next day and could hardly stay awake...

Took my dad to see it today, he dosnt see many or like many new movies but we both loved it, a must see in 3d in the theatre.

Just saw it...3D
Could be the Star Wars of this generation.
Beyond awesome effects.

The symbolism was omnipresent.
Rain Forest destruction.
Colonialism.
Little Big Horn.
The gunship with the Chinese dragon nose art.
Sigourney's avatar even had her Alien tee-shirt.

I'm not much of a movie junkie, but might have to see this again.

Oh, and hot Latina chopper pilot

Come on now...

If you are talking plot line it is definetly Fern Gully meets Halo.

Pleeeeease.

Plot line...who said anything about plot line ?
Playoffs??
