With all that said, I did have one notable problem with the movie... and that was when Grace died.
I feel I didn't care as much as I probably should have.

I was more affected when the soldier chick died... and I don't even remember her name. lol

lol thats what my friends said. Her name was Trudy. I totally agree with you about the delivery of story they made a recycled story in a way that pulls you into the movie very well. I was sad for like a day and a half because i could not be a na'vi. sad but true.

I went to see this tonight and I thought it was good, as I expected, but not a must see. There is no such thing as a must see for everyone. I would say if you are into crazy mystical nature and stuff like that, then this might be a must see for you. For me, District 9 was a must see.

I guess Nyu would be the best one to answer that question.

I'm usually a person who dislikes 3d, because it's not usually 3d, and it's usually extra money for something that's not really noticeable. Also, I hate really hyped up movies, much like the Dark Knight. And because of that, I was at a dislike to begin with.

HOWEVER.

I fell in love with the movie.

The visuals, how Pandora was made (I'm a HUGE sucker for landscape settings. IT's one of the main things I look for in films/games. If I'm in awe of the landscape, that's a huge plus.).

I agree the story itself was a recycled one. But they managed to keep everyone captivated regardless.

Thing I found that was interesting, was how my friend reacted to it. At first, he was falling asleep, and thought the Neytiri (Main female Na'bi) was ugly, and odd. But as the movie progressed, he went to me "Is this weird? I'm finding her more attractive as the movie goes on" and by the end was fully engrossed into the movie.

This film is easily a favourite. There's been many shit films lately, and this, 'Sherlock Holmes', and 'Law Abiding Citizen' and proven to me that there are still good films out there.

I thought Avatar was really good. I'm the same as Salvanas' friend. At first, I kept looking at my watch thinking this is too slow and they just looked weird. By the end of the film though, I found myself thinking, wow, Neytiri is beautiful and so is the life they were all leading. Only two films have made me look at aliens and feel sorry for them, or feel something powerful for them. That's Avatar, and the other is District 9. I think, because of these two films, 2009 was a great year for movies. But, Avatar isn't the greatest movie of all time

A truly amazing movie. I saw it 2D first then went again 3D and I have to say I was disappointed big time. If you ain't seen it yet 3D isn't worth the + $5 it costs.

I say that, Avatar to this generation is like the Titanic for last generation. I loved the way not only how it looked, but the story line itself. Avatar reminds me of what happened to Native Americans and Africans when they're lands were being taken and treated like "savages" (hate the word), when in truth, they knew more and were more compassionate than they were. It sucks that the human people didn't catch up on their history before doing what they did......

AVATAR ROCKED IT!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS WORTH THE 14 YEARS OF PRODUCTION!!!!
