Avatar (James Cameron) [SPOILERS]

Watched this at the weekend. On acid. It was a pretty spectacular way to spend three hours; totally predictable but a joy to behold nonetheless.

And it was sold out - I was expecting to be sat in a practically empty cinema I'd left it so long, how long has it been out now? Still packing the theatres.

I saw it this weekend and was surprised how busy it still was. Fuck me, wish I'd had a sick bag after listening to all that new age bollocks for 3 hours. Did look good though. :)
 
Im looking forward to the sequel where the humans return in force and blast the fuck out of the Blueys.

Avatar vs Starship Troopers :cool:
 
really enjoyed the spectacle of going to see this in Imax. Not been to the cinema in a long time and it was my first Imax/3D experience.

Very enjoyable, and I am a sucker for all the tech/robots/flying machines that existed in the universe. Also the little touches al over the movie.
 
Me too. All too often the Oscars have sucked up to populist bullshit (see Cameron's previous effort about the boat that sinks). Good to see this year they have decided box office takings and aggressive PR campaigning by News International does not equate artistic merit.

Well said! :cool:

Sandra Bullocks.

I bet she's not as good as the woman that played the female lead in Avatar...I thought she was great.
 
It won what it should have won -- technical awards. The script and the plot left something to be desired, but the art direction and CGI was fab.

I didn't think the CGI was that great, there were times where it looked fairly average and the less said about some of the animation the better.

you are on a wind up.

name one film with superior CGI, name one with better animation?

your taste in everything is shit, you don't like the first Resident Evil games or FFVII.

Oh and Avatar is popular but it is not populist, it's politics are far explicitly against US militarism, the overrated piece of pseudo intelligent middle brow crap called The Hurtlocker is pro US shit. The Hurtlocker is this generations The Deer Hunter, a film lauded for dealing with 'the war' which in truth does no such thing, rather it white washes the role of the US and turns it into an american tragedy.

Oh and that scene with the British mercenaries was embarrassing gung ho shit , no better than any Rambo movie.

it should never have won the cinematography award - cinematography requires cameras, not computers
