In 3D?

Going on Sunday! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!!
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Saw it in 3D this afternoon, thought it was amazing.  Story was kind of predictable, but I could not care less when a movie looks that damn cool.

+1 to the predictable story, but it was awesome -- especially in 3D!  The movie is long (2:40), but I didn't get bored or look at my watch once!!!

The story was predictable and largely unoriginal, but despite that the movie was awesome. [thumbsup]

Spectacular movie in every sense of the word. Double plus good.

re the story: I wouldnt say it was predictable, but rather archetypal.  Humans dig archetypes, because we like to be 'right' about things every once in a while.  ;D

Actress who plays the lead Navi - ...... Saldana? Superb acting all the way through. I'd be thinking Oscar nomination... were it not for the Academy having a problem with 'Animated' films. This movie is many things - animated is not one of them.

Oh, and just try and find the boundary between the real and the generated.... check out the skin, lips and eyes on closeups... awe inspiring stuff. Cameron has crossed the uncanny valley with ease...  [clap]

I should hope so. After all the money and time that was spent, I'd be damn pissed if it were anything else if I were him.

Yeah, I can't believe he had someone invent an entire language for the film and then called the key element in the story something so pathetically obvious.

And would it hurt Cameron to come out and say he got some of the visuals from looking at Roger Dean's album covers for Yes?

I have to assume it was a wink to the audience. They were just lampshading the fact that it really didn't matter at all what it was we were looking for on their planet, it was just the plot device to have us there.

maybe time to add spoiler to the title?
