Avatar getting GREAT reviews - "The next Star Wars or LOTR"

[QUOTE="ithilgore2006"][QUOTE="F1_2004"] Well quite easily. Invitations don't make themselves, someone does go through the list and invite professional reviewers and it's not too hard to look at their history and filter out the ones that give poor reviews.F1_2004

Obviously they dont invite every single critic in the world. But they DO screen the movie in advance to every critic from every major publication (newspapers, tv, internet, etc.) in all of United States. Again, this is done with every single movie. If they dont screen the movie in advance, it loses all crdibility.

"An astonishing, breathtaking masterpiece. Cameron did it! It will easily surpass Titanic's box office. I think Cameron created a few new colors." - Victoria Alexander

Wow, this new review seems to go a little too far. But this seems pretty good:

"Not since Dorothy's Kansas farmhouse landed in Oz - 70 years ago - and the screen transformed from black-and-white to color - has there been such a magical, revelatory moment as the emergence of the planet Pandora in IMAX 3-D." - Susan Granger

How so? Because the screen is smaller and the sound is less loud?

To me, I'd rather watch a movie at home where the seats are comfortable and the floors are clean than in a theater which is the opposite.

When a movie packs so much detail in a frame, you should see it in a theatre. 3D will be the norm for TVs and monitors in about a decade, but screen size is an obvious advantage of the cinemas.

Eh...no, I disagree. What difference does it make if you see it in a theater or in your own home? Plus, I live a life of no regrets

The technology behind it is so incredible that it is something that you have to actually experience. You lose the "experience" if you watch it at home.

First of all, what are you even talking about? Its a movie, not a game.

Second, have you not read the reviews? The story is also fantastic, and the characters are great.

I think this "You can only see this movie in Digital 3D" craze is getting annoying. It's like bashing a movie for not being in color. I'm sure it'll look better in Digital 3D but if that's the only reason to see the movie then it must be a crappy movie to get by on only looks. :|

looks stupid to me. I don't want to watch blue monkeys get blown up. And I hate the Lord of the Rings.

Meh, the trailer didnt impress me. Also find those big blue things an eyesore. I might check it out if the good reviews keep coming.

Well, most reviews are saying the film is amazing in IMAX 3D. So far, I haven't seen any reviewers mention how well the movie plays in normal theatres.

But again, the movie, AS A MOVIE, NOT JUST AS TECHNOLOGY, is getting a high amount of praise. For example, the story, the characters, the universe, everything.

This must be the best movie ever made.:o

Plot looks kind of stupid...Evil humans ( Americans,naturally) attempt to oppress/exterminate natives ( Blue aliens) in a gungho military manner for some magic rocks.

After hearing the line "Shock and Awe" was in the movie I immediately figured it would try to hard to send some sort of message about humanity.

We all know,

Oppressing native people for resources = bad. :roll:

Unobtanium is a real term used by scientists since the 1950s for rare or theoretical materials.

Is this movie going to be in 2D as well? Because I can't see movies in 3D due to an eye problem. Mario2007

Yes.

Seeing it this Friday!
