James Cameron's Avatar

[Crimson Jazz]

I really can't see how you people can stand here and compare Avatar to those films. To me, Avatar is nothing like those films.

It's been explained so many times now. White guy is sent to infiltrate natives, meets native girl, betrays native tribe, realises he loves native girls and natives, helps fight for them in the battle.

Really, go watch Pochahontas if you need to. It's all there. It's just Cameron told it with a differant setting.

Pocahontas, Fern Gully, Dances With Wolves, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Delgo, Battle for Terra. Yeah, Avatar sure was original, huh?

But it was done differently. Very differently.

Yes, I seriously don't understand how you can not see that (Not you Jonny), the plot is very similar. Go hire it out! Cameron did it very different though, as JS stated, more.... unique if you will.

I saw the film today, and I loved it. The graphics were better than I had expected.
Even though it is very similar to other movies, I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's the main thing.

 

[Wicked]

Oh, I loved the movie but I was just saying the plot is similar to another.

 

[Finland]

Yes yes, I didn't mean that even though it's similar to other plots it can't be liked.
Just brought out my opinion.

 

[Wicked]

Oh, sorry. It was just under my post so I didn't know if you were referring to me. ha

 

[Orion]

It would appear I'm seeing this again tomorrow

 

[Finland]

Jezza, you lucky bastard. :C
I have to wait till the DVD comes out.

I'm kinda sad because I didn't have the chance to see it in 3D.

 

[AxelRoxasFan223]

I WILL say that Avatar was much better than Titanic IMO. ;D

I am with you on that one.

XD

On a sidenote: Is there something wrong with me if I found the blue lady attractive (I think it's spelled Naturi, or something to that effect)? Maybe it's just because I could see Zoe Saldana in her, though I've never been that attracted to her. XD

#1 It's Neytiri
#2 They made her in a way that she's beautiful in her own way.

Anyway, back to topic, I think the movie was epic and it was well-made. The graphics were fantastic, and they made it look so real. Pandora itself was a beautiful world with all the life, fauna and all the bioluminescence in there, anyway I love sci-fi/fantasy they put in there XD Watched it twice and bought the artbook XD

I wish I could watch it in 3D though D:

 

[Wicked]

You know what else I liked? The different clans. I liked the water ones. hahah

 

[Finland]

Ohh, the clans. There were 15 of them, right?
I liked the Ikran clan the most. DD They made those Indian -like yells, it was cool.

 

[Wicked]

haha, I didn't pay that much attention to remember names but they were all pretty unique.

 

[Finland]

Yes, they were.
I was kinda surprised when they suddenly started talking about the clans. I had no idea there were that much Na'vis!

 

[Orion]

We were only looking at a small area of Pandora for most of the movie, don't forget.

 

[Finland]

Well, I was too stupid to notice that until the big battle.

 

[Wicked]

Yes, they were.
I was kinda surprised when they suddenly started talking about the clans. I had no idea there were that much Na'vis!

I had the same thing. There like "Lets get the clans" and I'm like "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!" lol

 

[Keyblade-War]

I thought it was alright. Nothing phenomenal, but it paced itself surprisingly well. Didn't realize it was 3 hours long until after it was over.

Yea, it was good and had amazing graphics but it had a plot that is used to much it had a Dances With Wolves plot.

 

[Dogenzaka]

For 12 years in the making the movie should have blown my face off.
It was good, great even, but nothing revolutionary whatsoever. Predictable plot with very predictable characters and very uninteresting set of events is somewhat disguised by its excellent pacing, beautiful art design and the enjoyable way they hold your hand throughout every element of the movie. They don't leave much to imagination or without placement, they simply play it safe in every aspect of the movie. Which gives it a universal appeal, but it does absolutely nothing I haven't seen in other movies before.

Even its CG graphics. I don't know why people clamor about them. We've seen this shit for years in video games.

The plot's been about twelve years, and Project 880 would have produced a much better movie, although a far more lengthy one.
The actual recording of what scenes could be done was only up to four years ago, I think.
The CGI was for the last two.

The graphics are gawked over for the sheer vibrance, scale and detail of them.
