So after hearing the hype for about 3 weeks i was restless and knew i had to see the movie, being my first 3d movie i was quite impressed with the whole 3d thing, although since i wear glasses and need them to see the screen i had to wear the 3d glasses over mine which wasnt to comfortable for almost 3 hours. Cant wait till they prefect the 3d picture and the movie wasnt bad, expected the plot for something different since it was a James Cameron movie but it was good none the less. What did you guys/gals think ?

I thought it was okay. It’s just a remake of Pocahontas anyway.

I saw it the opening weekend with almost no one in the theater. Now 3 weeks later, everytime I go to the movies its lined up out the door.

stfu.

what makes imax superior to a regular theater?

You want a bigger screne? Sit closer!

You want 3d? Wear the glasses!

I see no discernable difference, my Avatar experience was sub par just like everyone else who watched pocahontas & dances with wolves meets star wars and the bible regardless of the viewing medium.

I \<3 ya man! It really shocked me that no one had a clue how similar Avatar is to Pocahontas. Even people that have seen Pocahontas, just kind of forgot that they’re watching the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. I wonder how they explained the strange sense of deja vu.  
I thought it was an okay, enjoyable film, but I don’t get why everyone is on its nuts like that.

I just watched it, I really liked it. Plot was kinda lame yes, but it was pretty good. I didn’t find it to be too much like pokahontas. Every movie is just a copy of another if you think about it, there are only so many ideas out there.
