James Cameron's AVATAR

[Heathen]

And, I'll say it, I was mildly attracted to the blue women.

It was very mild and normal.

Normal.

It was very mild and normal, but I found them sexy despite their pretty different appearance :/
But yeah, me too.

Ohh dude i watched that shit.. so amazingD:

[Bodzilla]

righto any post regarding dane, or any of his posting is now getting deleted.

enough of this high brow shit and dane sometimes things where and are popular for a fucking reason. All this shit about tweeting on the go? scene kids blah blah blah is nothing but projective bullshit and i'm fucking over it.
When i was in the theatre not half an hour ago watching this brilliant movie any cunt that was talking or carrying on with shit was threatened on getting kicked out, because no one wanted to water down the experience for anyone else.

hands down the best movie experience i've seen, visuals, colour, entertainment, audience reaction, sound was great, so before you start making wild accusations and projective bullshit you need to shut the fuck up, leave your opinions at the door and then make up your mind.

but for now just fuck off.

NO MORE DANE DISCUSSION FLAMING TROLLING< RESPONDING , POSTING IN THIS THREAD

OR ELSE.
your the biggest stereotyping idiot in here and for that you can kindly fuck off.

Alright movie. Wasn't very fond of what's-her-name screaming all the god-damned time, though. Those scenes really felt forced to me. CG was nice, but really, the story was lacking a lot. Basically "Dances with Wolves" in Space.

Edit - Another mild complaint: Why do so many sci-fi alien races have apostrophes thrown every which way in the language? Is that common in human languages? It seems like a fallback for trying to make your made-up species sound more "foreign". And frankly, it doesn't work when it's done so often.

absolutely loved the movie, cannot wait to get it in blu-ray.

HOLY SHIT. GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Right now, and if you already saw it, do yourself a favor and see it again. This is an experience that is as immersive as it gets, and I wasn't even watching the 3D version. During the first few minutes you think to yourself, "Oh damn, this was really overblown... I've seen effects like this before." And then the minute the shuttle crosses through the clouds onto Pandora it's just like "OH SHIIIIIIT!" The first shot you see ofthe human base has a scale that feels real and overpowers everything that's come before it, and it just keeps getting better from there. I personally had seen the IMAX 3D preview back in August, so right from the get-go I instantly recognized what I was missing out on as far as the new perspective it adds, but this movie swept me in before I got hung up on it. Still seeing it again in 3D, though. Can't wait.

The scale is like nothing you've seen before, the 3D you've never seen before, and the CGI, my God, the CGI, you have never seen before. Maybe in split second bursts here and there, but NEVER in perfect quality for every single thing on screen at the same time for virtually the whole movie. You'll be watching the spray of water or the way something drags through mud and you'll be saying to yourself "This is real". It's ridiculous. Then to top it off, James Horner comes to the table to wrap it all up nicely in a musical score that draws from almost everything in his resume. You don't even have to listen carefully to hear where it echoes Titanic , Apocalypto, and Troy.

The only comments I've heard for this movie that weren't positive were about the story, the dialogue, and some of the characters. Well, although you've seen the story a million times before, there's a reason for that: It's a classic conflict. The only place you'll be seeing it more than in movies in your future is in your world. Whether it's a neighbor's eviction or whole countries fighting to protect their land from invaders, this is a timeless struggle, and it'll always be popping up from time to time. No reason it shouldn't here. Dialogue? Back in August I would've agreed with you 100%, as it was something I had noticed myself. After Parris Island, I'll just flat-out say that's exactly how Marines talk in real life. While I was watching it this time through, it didn't stand out because I was already used to it. Characters like the military badass and the corporate pig? Hey, if a motherfucker's got a job to do and he's too distant from the situation to interact with the people whose lives he's affecting, he's not going to give a shit and he's going to do everything in his power to get that job done. Life Parker Selfridge says "The only thing worse than bad press is a bad quarterly report." The most he knows is that he has bigger, closer problems to deal with involving his superiors if he doesn't. You grow up in New York City, you pick up on that shit pretty goddamn quick.

Final word of advice: Make sure to ask for a ticket to the 3D theater to get the full experience!

Apparently they had the language designed for them. They even have a bunch of words, naming conventions, and grammars that are never used in the movie.

Yeah. It's not like they were randomly making up gibberish- James Cameron went to a linguist and had him design the entire language. The linguist gave him a bunch of different choices for the sounds, and that's what Cameron picked.

Then to top it off, James Horner comes to the table to wrap it all up nicely in a musical score that draws from almost everything in his resume. You don't even have to listen carefully to hear where it echoes Titanic , Apocalypto, and Troy.

What pleasantly surprised me was that the score had elements and chords from some of Horner's previous films, but the score itself is mostly original. Coming from Horner that's the end of the world. His scores in the '90s were all nearly identical, and it had begun to grate on my nerves. I mean, seriously, Titanic and Braveheart are the same frigging score.

That being said, I really like Horner's Avatar score, and I commend him for putting so much new effort into it.
