"Dances With ThunderSmurfs" ???
Re: Is anyone else MASSIVELY excited to see Avatar?
anyone else seen this yet? I went last night and was VERY impressed. TBH it took my eyes a fair while to settle in, and the story was a bit hokey, but it goes allong at a fair old pace and looks absolutely amazing. Might have to find an imax screening to see it again

I'm very not excited by this
fx are a little bit like a very excessive make up: if the girl is already cute, she doesn't need make up anymore

I just answered the question: I'm not excited by seeing it.

Well I went in expecting the worse and pretty much had my socks blown off by the awesomeness of it at IMAX 3D. The bar hath been raised.
You don't even mind the plot because it's such a spectacle.

James Cameron was on Charlie Rose tonight, followed by critics David Denby of the New Yorker and A.O. Scott of the NY Times. These guys are gangters, not my fav (that's Margola Dargis of NYT) but these guys are huge snobs, badasses. They both totally loved it. It's got to be good.

Re: Is anyone else MASSIVELY excited to see Avatar?
i liked how DRM made playback impossible on the preview in some cinemas, as they "didn't got the keys for the playback".
haha. DRM fail.
well, i don't like it so far, much overhype. but, given that i think it's crap, i will be impressed once i get to see it.. if i don't expect much from a movie, then it will impress me more, obviously.
i just hate military-crap movies. so I'm a bit in fear of that. but i will most likely see it. and most likely like it.

I just returned and I have to say I was very impressed.
That was the first 3D movie I have been to without colored glasses, and it had some serious porn going on throughout. During the previews my eyes got sore and I thought it was stupid, but soon realized the previews crams as much candy in as they can, as with sound/light, so its much more strenuous than a whole movie. Lots of gentle subtle stuff to keep the strain down in the actual film.
As for the plot, I was also impressed, perhaps not for the story line but for the fact they made a feel good movie out of something that shouldn't naturally feel good to watch. I think it's a pretty good viral eye opener in some sense too.
I found that a lot of the movies heavily emotive scenes had been poached from real life, was pretty clever. You know those Benny Hinn crusades where he is preaching to millions in another language with a translator going sentence by sentence with him, with both of them fueling off each other? Clever shit.
I reckon see it. Blank out, reset, go along with the sop, feels good man, just don't let people see you crying to alien's being in love..

OMG.
That...
was....
awesome.
I don't even know how to describe, just so well done on so many levels. The 3D aspect blew me away, I had no idea it was going to be that good.

It's a repeat of what happened in the 1950's & 60's when the movie industry was losing its audience to TV. This was the heyday of 3D, cinerama, cinemascope, etc.drako wrote:Well it's a nice way to get people into the cinemas again, worldwide.
Downloading this movie, without 3d glasses has no much use.
This era also brought us director William Castle, who added physical elements to the experience such as having an inflatable, glow-in-the-dark skeleton whisked above the heads of moviegoers in "House On Haunted Hill", or attaching joy-buzzer like devices to the backs of theater seats for "The Tingler" so that select members of the audience would feel their backs crawling!
