I was wrong...they beat titanic yesterday

This movie should win every special effect and technical award its nominated for. Aside from the extreme fantasy stuff, you can barely tell the digital work from the live action. Once this technology gets applied to more mudane movies.....wow.....

Don't you mean once it gets applied to a movie with a script, actors and dialogue?

Avatar is pretty to look at, but it's a poo, poo film.

i dont think it was poo poo at all....could have been better but I liked it

Nearly nodded off several times.

Reminded me sort of a Sci-Fi version of Dances with wolves.

A typical vanilla story befriend the natives fall in love help repel the invaders.

Avatar depends on what Aristotle would call spectacle--it uses the pretty lights and 3-D to distract us from the fact that the story is cliche and well trod, and doesn't even approach the subject matter in an original way. But it's what movies like this have been built on since The Phantom Menace and the true advent of CGI.

I thought it was ok. I saw it in 3-D and if not for that I would not have liked it that much. Really cool to look at not a very thought out story. James Camron is a good director, but for him to have the #1 and #2 all time money making movies, I dont know. Titanic was good, but I could never watch the movie again. I saw it twice and the second time was one of the most boring 3 hrs of my life. T2 and Aliens are far better movies than Avitar and Titanic. James Camron has learned all the tricks to advertising. The promoting of those two movies was done better than any other movies that I can think of.

Like TPM, this guy pretty much breaks down why I don't appreciate Avatar--AND why it has made so much money, when it probably shouldn't have.

In-fla-tion. Take inflation into effect, it's not even that big of an all-time hit. Gone With the Wind and Star Wars are still kings. Idiotic to compare 2010 dollars to 1930s'. Hell, even look at tickets sold it's not that big compared to how many theaters it's shown in worldwide.

oh I know that...im not arguing that fact....Im just stating that it went over 2 billion dollars.

[Sultan33g]

remember those numbers are domestic only. Whatever u say about worldwide it still made the money and sold tickets. with 3-d and imax it is obviously going to be high. You also have to consider most of the movies you are talking about havent been in the last 20 years . So Avatar is still pretty high comparatively, and its only been a month

[Sultan33g]

but alas i dont really care since it isnt me making that money
