Let this movie die! :crybaby: I can't understand how this movie has lasted so long, nor been so popular. It's not a particularly good movie, and the 3D effect doesn't look very good. The plot line is barely razer thin, and there were no particularly good acting moments. It's an average movie that's got lots of special effects. It unfortunately speaks volumes about people when this (and Titanic) are the two highest grossing movies...

^You're just bitter that the main characters were 10 feet tall, rather than 2 feet tall :haha:

I tried to watch this at Riverport on Saturday - showed up at 2:30 and the 3:00 and 6:45pm showings were sold out.

This is my second failed attempt at watching this movie... First time I tried was during Christmas break (how stupid of me) and now it was the tail end of Spring break. Bad timing!

Ok I finally watched it this morning at 11am - loved it! Sure, it's no Schindler's List, but I left the theatre entertained. That's all I ask for when watching a movie - to shut off my brain, and to be entertained!

Domani 04-24-2010 07:36 AM

rented the bluray.... damn looks damn good on my tv than at silversity.

StylinRed 04-26-2010 09:26 AM

Watched it... wow... it looks great but the story is so heavily influenced by "call me joe"

Cameron admits to being a scifi nut as a kid, so i have no doubt he's read it

here's the wiki summary

Quote:

Call Me Joe (1957) is a science fiction story by Poul Anderson about an attempt to explore the surface of the planet Jupiter using remotely controlled artificial life-forms. It focuses on the feelings of the disabled man who operates the artificial body.

The Science Fiction Writers of America selected Call Me Joe for The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two.
(this guy in a wheelchair is used to control a body who's able to survive the environment, and ends up wanting to live in that body rather than his own crippled body; etc etc)

I wouldnt call the movie a ripoff, since its so different but the character sure seems like it


the Blu-Ray is a must for anyone who likes or even dislikes the movie ^^

Tegra_Devil 04-26-2010 01:55 PM

so where is the cheapest place to get the Bluray?

StylinRed 04-26-2010 03:39 PM

Xzecution'R 04-26-2010 04:16 PM

gf talked me into buying the movie i was kinda hesitant since i didn't see it in theatres. i must say its the best looking movie thats ever been on my tv i mean i thought the planet earth series was awesome but frame by frame Avatar is just beautiful

gnat. 04-26-2010 04:23 PM

Do you guys think that Avatar sort of resembles Pocahontas?!
Foreign land, different people, native willow tree that is very knowledgeable....
vistor that was meant to take over the native land ends up falling in love with a native woman...etc.etc.??

my friend told me this and it made me go...whaaaaa? omg...O.O!

yeah i was choked, when i burnt it and found out that the region-coding can't be removed so i was stuck watching it from my laptop hooked to the tv -_- (still got lossless audio though cuz of the ati card, but what a waste of a disc)

It'll be released in 3D but not until Next Year (novembers release will only be a set with special features) They probably need a lot longer to get the 3D edition setup because it needs better compression/etc considering the 2D movie alone has taken up a whole BD-50 disc (and 3d is 2 1080p streams)

3d tvs are out though and they're up to standards
