Sorry I can't respond to more than 2 quotes on this stupid phone. 69, this movie isn't about "effects" like 2012. In fact, I'm sure there are many movies with better "effects". (transformers comes to mind) This movie is about the 3d experience. No one has ever seen anything like this before.

Hm.

I am now potentially disappointed that I didn't see it in 3D. It's an amazingly beautiful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the story too...even if it got a little heavy-handed with the messages sometimes.

OK, as usual, I came across too harsh, methinks.

I LIKE FX, but it seems like such a waste for a good storyteller like Cameron to use them in a "message" movie (that's the vibe I'm getting from the reviews). FX should enhance and support a movie, not BE the movie. I get that it's a new hybrid, but when I see the promos and it's some military dude saying "Ladies and gentlemen, we're not in Kansas any more", it just makes me sick. That type of dialogue is so hackneyed and worn out, it's one of the worst cliches ever. Story should always take precedence and lack of one should never be an excuse to cram FX in to make it better. It just doesn't work.

Kudos to the dialoguistas...

I saw it in full IMAX 3-D.

It was a pretty amazing experience. The visual and the 3-d were just so overpowering. I had an almost physical reaction and felt pretty exhausted by the end of it. It just sucks you in and you feel a part of this strange, exotic world.

It's really a movie that you HAVE to see in theaters, and you probably should see in 3-d IMAX if you can. Pretty awesome.

A movie can be whatever the director wants it to be. This movie is about creating an experience within the theater and showcasing the peak of technological development.

The story has been told before, but it's done pretty well in this movie and serves the overall experience.

I'm going to the IMAX 3D next saturday night...and about an hour before showtime I'll be eating a weed pill. A friend of a friend makes them, and taking one is similar to tripping on mushrooms, just not quite as strong. I'm excited. Very excited.

I took the family to it this morning. The matinee is pretty cheap at the good theater in town and so I was able to escape for just under $80.

The kids loved it. The five year old girl had trouble in a few scenes, but loved it by the end. They haven't stopped talking about it.







My favorite part of the 'experience' is when the tree seeds are landing all over him. I'm not sure why, since it's not one of the more 'effects' driven sequences, but it just 'did it' for me. Really enjoyable.

Well ain't that a bitch... they are not showing this at either of the IMAX's in my area.

Going to see IMAX 3d in 3 hours. Hopefully love it as much as everyone else

They aren't showing it on my IMAX either.

Pretty sure the closest IMAX to me is 5 hours away. I can go see it in RealD 3D at the Cinemark theater though...

Might as well wait for it to come out on DVD.

Terrible decision. Don't even bother watching it on DVD.

Agreed. Go see it in a normal theater that has it in 3d. I haven't seen it yet, but I know that waiting for DVD is a bad idea.

For some reason the IMAX's in my area are still showing Star Trek. Like WTF, get it together, I saw the new Star Trek like a million years ago.

go ANYWHERE you can find it in imax 3D

QFT

Saw it last night at the Palms IMAX 3D.

We all had a physical reaction to it, and frankly it took some time to come down. Really reminded me of an acid trip.

Definitely an experience more than a movie.

Good or bad idea to see it very high on thc pills?

Just came back from seeing it in IMAX 3D at the theater probably 100 feet away from my house. Took me a while to get into it, but by the end I liked it a lot.

Going to see it ripped tonight. Will report tomorrow!

Yeah, but I don't know if I can trust your opinion.

Can I trust your opinion?

How could it possibly be a bad idea?

Avatar in 3D was stunning! Extraordinary visuals! Cameron creates a detailed
new world that is Epic in scope with characters you root for to succeed.

I went about 30 miles from where I live to see it in a 3d theater and it was way worth it. Awesome to watch.

Saw it this weekend in full 3D IMAX. Absolutely stunning.





Are these pills green, or are they trichomes only (kief) or hash or something?

I have tried the 'weed pills' that local pot shops have, and they...suck. I'm curious how your friend makes these.

Multiple doses of tinctures or canna-butter will give me great body highs, but nothing remotely mushroom like.

We were all pretty ****ed up on booze, weed, and pills. A pot-only experience would be fine I'm sure.

I'm not sure how he does it...it's a friend of a friend, only known as "The Dude". Hence, the pill is called a "Dude Pill". Apparently he's some kind of genius chemist, and the process is pretty intense.

I have to say it's quite an accomplishment to have a movie go that long and not have that dragging feeling while watching it. Every Lord of the Rings movie had it. This didn't.

I didn't see it in imax 3d but it still looked nice. though, I'm still engrossed anytime I see HD on TV.

don't you feel bad for the guys who stayed behind but don't have an avatar? not getting any for the rest of their life (me2: 0 = 0 (ok good point)). But doesn't seem like much of a life to be there. Not that that they had a choice. Go on trial for treason or stick around on an alien planet? Ana Lucia went out the smart way.

Also, everyone is boned when they come back with a bigger army. I guess they've got 5 years trip each way so 12-15 years more living I guess.

Anything you get from your local headshop, at least in USA/Canada, will not get you high. It'd be flat out illegal to sell anything that actually contained even trace amounts of tetrahydracannabinol.




I need this hook up for pure lysergic diethylamide

I haven't seen it yet but I probably will over Christmas. I found this mildly amusing though.

Are you high?

Or am I high?

Pretty sure he just confused head shop with potshop, which are obviously quite different, lol.

BTW, here's a nice little tutorial on making home made thc pills.

I think I'm going to turn this into my little project over winter break.

That person got high for nine hours from two small schwag pills. jeebus

I've tried these pills that contain marijuana (the plant matter ground up), and I have never really gotten high from them. I have rarely consumed edibles that genuinely screwed me up.

It seems that speedz is talking about something else, like his pills only contain trichomes/hash/hash oil or something similar.

Not as far as I know...I'm pretty sure they are derived from midgrade herb, nothing special. Believe me, I was shocked to get as high as I did, even after hearing the legend of the Dude Pill.

Just saw this in 3-D

Incredible

Yes the story is predictable and there's no Shyamalan twist but it's very entertaining. Best in 3-D also.

You didn't see Dolph Lundgren running around on all fours with a nose for a head? That was the twist!

DAMNIT ! Must have happened while I was in the crapper.

Underlying messages in AVATAR


AVATAR is racist

Really? Wow ...what a great writer this guy is.
"But some who have seen the film say that it contains hidden messages that are anti-war, pro-environment, and perhaps even racist.

Man ...that is deep.

Really? Underlying?

It's a friggin cartoon ! Get over it!

With our local pot culture gaining quite a bit of steam, there are several new magazines around.

One of them, called Kush, features Doug Benson, who said he has a guy who makes him special pot pills.

I am now intrigued...

Ground up plant material doesn't work when eaten. You have to dissolve it in a lipid, which is why you make cannabis butter and the like to cook with.

and serisiously.....who woudnt hit this:?

I'm finally seeing it tomorrow... hopefully. There is only one theater out of like 10 in our county that has 3-d. I'm hoping it is not sold out.

Chrozzo... I'd definitely hit that. The ears kind of turn me off though, they are completely in the wrong spot. I'm ok with elf ears, but those look like bat ears.

dude ur fucked up!!!

those ears makes it even more crazy sexy exotic!

That was phenomenal. I mean, the movie was just ok in terms of story and dialogue, but the experience was pretty crazy. I suppose I could just say that I agree with everyone else's assessments.

I saw it at an IMAX 3D place that's in a furniture store, where the seats are made out of memory foam and have built in "buttkicker" speakers, which was nice.

I did kind of snap out of it and lose my suspension of disbelief when the praying/singing/dancing routine started at the tree of life. That shit was ridiculous.

Lying in bed last night I'm pretty sure I was accessing memories of the movie differently than I would a regular movie, which is pretty cool. Or maybe that was just becuase I was really high.

Also: Human females should all go on the Navi diet. Man those chicks had some bodies. What?

Anti war, pro environment, racist ? Those three dont usually go together.

Calling them "hidden messages" is insulting to audience members. There's nothing hidden about it.

But who cares? Who's going to argue that humans don't tend to use technology to overrun and oppress any populations (human or otherwise) that aren't able to defend themselves? And who's going to argue that that's a positive trait?

I agree with all of this... even the spoiler.

James Cameron is such a pimp it's not even funny. This was by far the best movie experience I've ever had.

I just need to see it in Imax now... it was still awesome in the normal theater with 3-d though.

Chrozzo I take back everything I said. THAT CHICK WAS HOT!

Wow, just Wow. I took a couple of pills for my back, snuck in a fifth of Captain and made a night of it. That movie was phenomenal, as speeds said, not the story line, but the experience. This will ruin other movies for awhile for me.

I liked the chanting tree of life scene, I liked to pretend they were about to have a giant blue Orgy.

Couple of funny/amusing things (to me) for the evening. We got there last night 30 minutes before the movie. We were at the end of the line. I went and got a Soda to pour my captain into while my wife got seats. We always sit dead center, but did not have that option. I finally find her on the far end. We have one seat open to the right of me. A couple of guys come in a few minutes late and ask if that seat is open, and the one behind it (there were not two seats together at this point) I say "go ahead" and right after he sits down the folowing exchange happens

ME: "excuse me, can you switch seats with your buddy, he's cuter"

Him: "Huh, what" "Oh, but he wont do the things I will"

ME: (Turning around to his buddy who has heard none of this) "Never mind *******, you just stay right there"

Buddy: "..."

Him: :slight chuckle:

Unfortunately that was our last exchange and I didn't even get an HJ.

After the movie my wife asked me what I thought of it, and I said that I wanted to get some blue paint and some Zinka and bang the shit out of her under a tree. I am thinking I can make this happen.

I really enjoyed this movie.

I don't think there was a single thing that wasn't completely predictable and yet I was still thoroughly entertained.

This is the future of movies, right? As far as how they're going to look?
