# I didn't think it was that impressive visually...


Well yes, I thought it was stunning. Saw it a couple of weeks ago in normal 3D and caught the IMAX version last night. Totally pwns the format! However I can now foresee a whole raft of really low-rent 3D efforts cashing in on it.

# The only thing I remember being very 3D were the floaty seeds
Oh, and slashdot gave me this link, which made me laugh for ages:

autotelic.com/avatar_-_the_metacontextual_edition

(highly recommended)

# Yes, I had forgotten ash. Arrows, sometimes. And people standing behind other people was more noticeable.

# That should've been the tagline.
AVATAR - People standing behind other people is MORE NOTICABLE

# It does makle the film more involving though
And I thought it was better than "LOOK AT THIS! IT'S COMING STRAIGHT AT YOU TO MILK 3D VISUAL EFFECTS"

# Oh now that is excellent!
I still don't know whether I want to see Avatar or not. But tonight I'm orf to see Sherlock Holmes so at least I don't have to make that decision today.

# It was a fun film, just "FernGully ... IN SPAAAACCE".
3D glasses gave us all headaches, though.

# I thought of it as Smurfahontas
Was good though, and as for Zoe Saldana in Na'avi form... yummy. :-)

# You definitely want to see it.
In the flashiest format available to you - the better the visuals the less you have to mind about a deeply sanctimonious plot.

# Oh fuck yes. That annoying bit where she saves him from the 'dog' pack, then criticises him for blundering about the forest.
They were fucking attacking him! What primitive people doesn't defend itself from attack!?

And there are apparently no parasites or diseases on Pandora. Right.
