CardiffSupra Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 What a film, Amazing in every way. Must see. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdwals Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Saw this Sunday in 3D - visually amazing and deserves to be seen for what they put on the screen. Would not waste my time with the 2D version. As for the storyline - hmmmmm. I take it as James Cameron re-visualises the end of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi but instead of little cute bears and Stormtroopers, he uses tall blue aliens and Marines. Also sprinkled with liberal doses of Dances with Wolves and The Last of the Mohicans. Got bored of it all by the end but would still say go see the eye candy.

Terminator Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Not seen it yet, trying to go tomorrow. Saw an interview with James Cameron, he said he will make all his further films in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdwals Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Forget about his future films - I would love to see one of his past films re-done in 3D - Aliens. "They're coming out of the F'in walls man"! That would be some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Saw Avatar last night, only the 2D version, but was still amazed at the visuals, and also a great story too! The best film I've seen for a while! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend going to see it! I want to see it in 3D next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Have to agree, its an amazing movie. The graphics and the detail and the visual angles, all with 3D...and some very realistic effects, I wouldn't mind paying to see it a 2nd time.

SupraD06 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Went to see Avatar this afternoon in 3D, what a fantastic film, quite possibly the best film ive seen. If you can, try and see it in 3D. You just get sucked in, and the way its made makes you feel like your right there in the film. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Aliens was such a brilliant film. One of my all time faves. I dunno if a new version would be cool.. would be nice to see the original in HD and 3D tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csa Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Went to see it yesterday (3D) and was positively surprised as I had that exact thought too. But it does shine through too much I really fancy seeing it, but a small bit of me is cringing in anticipation that this might have a Titanic style sub-plot that will irritate me and ruin it.

The best film I've seen for a while! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend going to see it! I want to see it in 3D next! Agree with the above 100%. What an amazing movie. Found the following comment on a user review website: "I agree somewhat with a previous comment, describing concerns regarding why the director would create a fictional world yet portray the villains as U.S. American solders." Some interesting and deliberate parallels with the US Action in Iraq / Afghanistan, etc - very interesting. Lets hope it ends in the same way in real life too.

I found it as much as parallel with american history relating to the Indians. Probably more of a paralllel actually with the bow and arrow versus technology.

Probably more of a paralllel actually with the bow and arrow versus technology. Guess they're used to f...king it up for everyone else. Anyway, for those that haven't seen the movie - well worth watching - great plot, amazing special effects and impressive 3D experience.

I think they're over-analysing it. The film is made in Hollywood, everyone (human) in it will be American! Just like all aliens attack America, world disasters happen in America, and all super heroes live in America. America represents the world apparently. They wouldn't want to break the trend!

hadyn Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I fell asleep in parts. I found it visually stunning much in the same vein as Tron in the 80s. However the storyline, plot and characters were tired and dull in terms of ingenuity. Maybe I'm being harsh as I expected a film in the same vein (and quality) of Aliens and Terminator 1 and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I think Cameron has gone soft with all the billions of dollars he has made tbh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I thought it was the best movie I have seen in years - a true masterpiece. well worth watching it again - this time in IMAX 3D and then wait for it on Blu-ray - cant wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Visually, it was stunning. Loved the 3D, dribbled at the CGI and whilst the story and plot were obvious from the off, it didn't spoil a fantastic spectacle. One of the very few films I would happily watch again (and maybe again!). Will probably lose the overall effect on a home system so I'd suggest watching it on the big screen.

Wez Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Went to see this in 3D last night, simply stunning, a rare movie I would go and see again The below comments are funny though, even more so if you take onboard that they are attacking them for the most valuable mineral which happens to be under there home, oil fields of Iraq anyone Found the following comment on a user review website: "I agree somewhat with a previous comment, describing concerns regarding why the director would create a fictional world yet portray the villains as U.S. American solders."

imi Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Will be awesome on the IMAX! Watched this for the 2nd time this past weekend on an IMAX and the 3D experience was so much better than other non IMAX 3d cinemas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
