I watched it yesterday. It was a beautiful movie, with nothing else going for it imo. Boring, predictable, and not a shred of originality.
But I have to hand it to them, the 3D was unbelievable. It was always the main characters that just popped out in previous "3D" movies. This time, everything has a depth, and this is best seen in indoor spaces, especially corridors. It's just like being in your own corridor.

Completely and utterly agree.
Its a pretty movie, and it is probably one of the best looking movies ever
But underneath the hood, you find an average, run of the mill plot with some pretty one dimensional characters aside from the lead.
And even with a runtime nearing 3 hours, a lot of people hardly get any time

The plot summary I read sounds like a very lame commentary on the Middle East.

Re: Avatar
I'll add some more
Every little thing in the movie reminded me of some other movie. It was like watching the most original parts of the best movies of the last 10 years or something. And even though it wasn't a movie aimed at children, a lot of stuff would've been more at home in a movie made for kids.
And at times it just got very boring. Why do they stretch every unimportant scene, boring me to sleep? Why do I watch the guy flying on a bird for 10 minutes, when it adds nothing to the story? 3 hours is just too long, they could've wrapped it up in half that time.
Oh, and I hope we don't see any more of those stupid ritual-type things where the locals dance stupidly and hum and chant - it's just not atmospheric.
Ok, glad I got that off my chest ![Smilie](/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I'm trying to to expect anything from this, so reading negative comments works.
I'll probably see it in 3D with my brother.

Saw it today in 3D.
Better then I thought it would be. Beautiful movie to look at but I thought the writing was pretty bad. The dialogue at points felt like it was written by George Lucas

Very good movie. Probably the most beautiful movie ive ever seen.
The only problem I had was that kinda stupid name for the material they were mining.

For people complaining about the story:
They took a lot of risks with this movie, and I think the story is kind of cliche because they didn't want to take a risk on that as well.
The important thing is that the story is solid, moving, and powerful, even if it is predictable.

Argh, I'm conflicted. I really don't like seeing movies in theaters but not seeing this in 3D seems like I might be missing out on quite the experience. Is it worth $17.50?

I still stand by what I said - the movie is bad. But yes, it is worth the price, just for the visuals.
