Damn this is my most anticipated film of the year!

When? Isn't it gonna be released end of this year?

Great trailer. Can't wait.

Let the hype cool down a little. It wasn't really that awesome.

What I felt missing from the movie was the emotional attachment to the characters. It's very unlike James Cameron who usually comes out with sub-cool action movies with characters that I really care for. After all, the characters are the one that actually breathes life to the movie and not the CGI, they're just the limbs. In this case, the best limbs I've ever seen.

The problem with CGI movies is that they age whether you like it or not. Take away the amazing effects, the movie has nothing to offer. They have action sequences but how many of them are worthy to be in the ranks of the legends? I see where kobe is going with his comments and I actually feel the same. The acting was the problem IMO. I wonder what people see in Sam Worthington? Dull as hell. The effects were outstanding but the acting, dialogue, storyline were subpar. It's like Pocahontas of the 21st century.

The movie (a James Cameron movie, surprisingly) lacks that edge that blows other movies aside the way T2, Alien, True Lies, even The Abyss did. The villains were laughable and my biggest problem is the cast selection. had they got better actors and characters, I'm sure the movie might be a tad better.

Lang to Avatar is like Christoph Waltz is to Basterds. Bad ass? Damn right.

But Giovanni Ribisi was awful and the military look like a team of doofuses.

I'd say they're on the same level. Avatar has nothing original except for the graphics.

Well depends on how you see it. Considering a project in Pandora, I was hoping for a more astute and bad-ass leader. And they got Ribisi.

Bout originality - that's what I meant with graphics. And I agree with satsugai, I cared about Wikus wayyy more than anyone else in Avatar.

The details are amazing and intricate but of course there has to be something "original" somewhere, else it'll be a total rip off

one of the many unexplained/unshown plots in the movie.

But Avatar didn't do it for me. In Star Wars, even the escort of Chewbacca to the prison was suspenseful as hell, the motorbike chase in T2, etc greatly affected the whole movie and the characters. In that aspect, Cameron decides to boast the CGI effects with the beautiful Eywa, the plants, animals, so on and that by itself was amazing. He didn't do much to the characters, everything seem so convenient...

I should be watching it for a second time next week maybe. Let's see if my opinion changes.

Highly doubt it.

It's RM 17. Another RM5 for the glasses.

I watched it for the 2nd time in MV last week, my friend chose the 3rd row from the back, and on the side. Wasn't pleasant at all.
