I wanna see it and probably will when I can afford it, I will if the cinima supports it see in it 3D, I heard it has been in the making for nearly 10 years :P so I hope it's as good as it seems

Wow. You bumped a thread just to whine about no one replying to it??

Threads on forums tend to run in a natural course... and eventually they all die. While some folks really liked Avatar, it seems to me none were as ecstatic and obsessive as you, my friend.

Thanks for the opinion, but I'm mainly trying to rack up posts and make friends, though Avatar was an awesome movie.

I actually saw this thing a second time, to see the 3D. It was impressive, but I'm not sold that it added enough to the movie to have me wear glasses for three hours and walk away with a 3D headache. Happily, it is the kind of movie you can see again and still be entertained.

For the OMG <3 Avatar crowd, you may find info on Cameron's original vision interesting. Seems the original was deeper, had far more realistic characters, explored the science ( like why the mountains float ), and generally gave more plausible reasons for the entire scenario.

Some friends thought "Project 880" would be a far better version, but I'm not sure. I suspect the reason for the movie's appeal is the same reason people pan it; it's stupidly one dimensional, good vs. evil. The original Star Wars was the same and didn't seem to suffer from it.

This Avatar film has really drawn out the ar-tards on the 'net. Lord knows I am propagating stupid nonsense, but there is a thread on the avatar forum helping people cope with the fact the movie is not real.

http://avatar-forums...thread.php?t=43

Quote

Original Poster:

I recently read on the Avatar TypePad Blog, that people are becoming depressed because of the movie. People are realizing that the dream can't actually come true. I was trying to start a thread where people gave ideas on how to cope with it, as in reading Avatar stuff, Writing ( about avatar of course), painting, or whatever.

Person Coping:
After I watched Avatar at the first time, I trully felt depressed as I "wake" up in this world again.
So after few days, I went to cinema and watched it again for the second time to relieve the depression and hopeless feeling.
Now I listen to the soundtrack and share my views in this forum. It really helps.

Person Offering Advice:
Start living like Neytiri: in touch with nature, the environment, and not being greedy and wasteful. Pass on the burger, for something more healthy for you and less cruel to animals. Spend your time on this forum, or volunteering in your free time, instead of getting high or drinking, twiddling your thumbs, being apathetic and complaining about how bad the world is. Don't get swept away by the wave of negativity, live your dream. Your life has only two switches, to shine or not to shine. There is no "apathy" setting. If you're on apathy setting you might as well sign your world away to destruction. When you get discouraged by everyone around you, be courageous like Jake, and jump on the leonopteryx. Be the change you want to see in your world. There are only so many people on this earth, the more of them that are doing positive things, the less of them that are out there doing negative things. It's unfortunate that we live in a world where, just by pulling a trigger or making a corporate decision, one single greedy human being can wipe out the hard works of love of many people. But this is why we need to stop focusing on money and start focusing on our environment. Because we have the intelligence to kill ourselves, but not the wisdom to stop it. What will our money buy, when everything that is worth having is destroyed? The only way you can fill the emptiness you feel after this movie, is to jump on the leonopteryx.

From geekologie


The only difficulty I had coping with in regards to this movie was paying $15 to see it on IMAX 3D.

Wait.. weren't you the one who started the "I hate puppies" thread that was deleted? I figured you would be the last person to let a sleeping dog lie.
Oh crap that was optix212... sorry.
