If thats the ending... meh. I'm guessing there will be some good foreshadowing or explanation.
 
The Guardian's impressions.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/dec/10/james-cameron-avatar-preview

And there have been a lot of rumours. Rumours that the budget was double the stated amount, more like $500m. Rumours that the 3D effects were making people nauseous. Rumours that the film, two hours and 40 minutes long, was a complete car crash.

The Guardian can reveal that the last two are untrue. The film does not make you feel sick and it is not a disaster. All journalists watching the movie in Fox's Soho headquarters had to sign a form agreeing not to publish a review or even express a professional opinion online or in print before Monday.

So by saying Avatar was really much, much better than expected, that it looked amazing and that the story was gripping – if cheesy in many places – the Guardian is in technical breach of the agreement. It is not a breach, however, to report that other journalists leaving the screening were also positive: the terrible film that some had been anticipating had not materialised. It was good.

There is, though, a certain amount of suspension of disbelief needed when watching Avatar. Cynics might sneer at the plot.

If it does well – and there seems little doubt that it will not – then can we expect more? "We'll see," said Cameron. "But yes, I have a story worked out for a second film and a third film."

Can't believe some people are actually going to see this in 2d first.

But whatever floats your boat.

For you guys there is nothing you can do, but even i know people who are going 2D for this even though they are close to Cinema doing it in 3D

yeah..i agree with this. It makes absolutely NO sense, especially considering that the film was MADE specifically for 3D.

I like Weaver (?) said it best when she compared it to The Wizard of Oz..and how dramatic a change from B &W to Color was. Would the Wizard of Oz be as effective if the entire film was in Black and White?

3D should be the ONLY way to see this movie. So much so, I probably wont watch it agian until 3D TVs are a standard.
 
I fail to understand how people aren't at least a little excited to see this. This is the first time in a long time where I feel sorta giddy. Only a Pacquiao fight typically does this to me.
 
I'm glad this film is starting to turn around it's buzz. Despite what many might have thought this film bombing wouldn't have done anyone any good.

Let me save you the embarrassment and just say you clearly have no idea how the tracking of a film's opening weekend/final gross works.

"Thing"? Man alive.
 
I have to decide between a Xpand theater and a Real D one. I saw Up at the Xpand one, and while the 3D was great, the glasses where so heavy that I am worried about spending two and a half hours wearing them. So, any ideas?

See it in Real D? Though I've never experienced Xpand3D. Real D should do you just fine provided its a digital projector. Also, the glasses are far more comfortable.
 
AVATAR buzz is good so far....hmm. Might have to eat my words from last night's show...

Real 3d or Imax 3d? I havent seen anything in IMAX in probably 15 years. Now that both of my local theaters have IMAX screens though, its tempting.
 
Plainview!!!!

Dude is LATE!
 
I do admit, Avatar was so underwhelming for the longest time. Nothing but hot air out of Cameron's mouth for years. The actual first stuff shown...was from the Videogame...with his E3 speech. Underwhelming posters and trailers at first(Never saw the 15minutes).

But the closer it's been getting. Trailers been getting a bit better but the positive buzz has me hyped as hell. I'm going try see it in Imax Day it comes out ^_^

Is it a digital IMAX (Liemax?)

I think the first viewing is best served with an IMAX screening. Just make sure you sit in one of the back rows.
 
the only slight spark against my indifference are 2-3 of the non-pandora clips newly released. sigourney weaver is always good and worthington is appealing un-gawkish at his surroundings, he just wants to jump in. And this quiddich guy managed to make his slow steps on the floor speak fiercely against his terribly awkward lines.

though no parade of film-geek twittering is going to change my dramatic disengagment with anything pandora.

so.. yeah fucking guy ritchie it is :/
