Viewer Reviews of AVATAR
 | A Classic that defines a Genre - dewsburyBy far the best animation I have ever experienced, it is easy to believe that the world of Pandora and it's inhabitants are real. Avatar offers a movie-going experience like no other, and takes animation to a whole new level. The exciting story, amazing animation, and the fact that the movie is marketed to kids through toys and advertisements will have more ... |
| Summary - shelly87This movie took four years to make and i can see why. It was one of the most expensive movies of all time made. It was created to conquer our hearts and minds.Avatar is the most visually fantastic film Ive ever seen. Yes its that good. I recommend you hire it out over Christmas its one of those great family films everyone will enjoy. Highly recommended more ... |
| Different!! - ConvertedHow clever these men who make films!! every now and again they pull something different out of the hat, which makes you sit up and watch. Avatar is that film this year. You get tired on the chick films, the films that are supposed to be 'the comedy of the year' but aint. Yes this film ticks all the boxes. more ... |
 | FANTASTIC!!!! - RachelMI actually didn't go to see this in the cinema because i just thought that it wouldn't live up to the hype. A friend of mine lent it to me on DVD and i watched it 6 times before i gave it back. I loved the plot, the whole look of the film was brilliant..........really excellent movie. Brief outline: US Army / Corporate America (?) have found a precious more ... |
| Nothing special - SoniaFirst of all when I saw the adds for avatar I thought it was stupid and really didn't want to see it. But after all encouragement I got I thought I'd give it a try. It was tottally different than what I was expecting but it still wasn't great. In my opinion the only reason this movie is so big is because this is the first movie James Cameron has directed in more ... |
| the most breath-taking movie i ever saw. - windThis is by far the best film i have ever seen, where do i start. well first off this amazing movie is directed by James Cameron one of the best directors of all time (in my opinion). He has directed some brilliant movies such as titanic. Anyway i think without him this movie would be terrible (no offence to the other directors out there). He spent around 12 more ... |
 | 3D IS GREAT! - LINDA BARRETTWent to watch Avatar with my husband during the first week that it came out..Had read so much about it and we were not disappointed.. The 3D special effects were sooo wonderful.. at one point the main characters were in the forest and the branches looked as if they were right in front of our faces. My husband couldn't believe how real the fire ashes falling more ... |
| Couldn't be better - Davidoshaughnessy96If there ever was a movie that had you glued to the edge of your seat, made you believe in a completely imaginary world, its Avatar. One of the "Best" Films of all time. I haven't seen the Hurt locker but it must be some movie if it can beat Avatar at the Oscars. If you want a movie to buy on dvd in about a month or two, buy Avatar. more ... |
| Enjoy Avatar - DargInstead of looking for things you won't find in this last piece of Cameron's mgic just enjoy its beauty, poetry and magic. It has nothing to do it is 2D or 3D. I did enjoy not only special effects but also both leading (male & female) roles. I love this movie. more ... |
| Most Brilliant Movie Ever - carleyIf your ever thinking of going to the cinema, Avatar is the movie to see. I saw this movie a few weeks ago in 3d and still do I think of it as the best movie i have ever seen. The graphics and special effects are so realistic. When I was sitting in the cinema I felt as if I was in the movie myself. This is a movie I would amagine everyone would greatly more ... |
| must see - THE REAL REVIEWERWith an interval of eleven years since his last movie,four years from conception to birth and $300million reportedly spent on it,,James Cameron's newest contribution to world cinema was never going to be anything less than spectacular and it is,astonishingly and brilliantly so.It captured my imagination and held me spellbound for three hours(so much so that more ... |
 | Make up your own mind - movieloverI usually suffer from throbing headaches when i see a movie with a lot of 3D in it, but with this i made an exception. But with all the hype i was extecting to be blown away. I admit the special affects were amazing. It all looks so real, but the story isn't so amazing. After 10 minutes, you know how the story is going to turn out. Maybe James Cameron has more ... |
 | A technical marvel - masonicaVery basic storyline aside, this event-movie is worth the hype and your ticket price. One of the most immersive films I've seen and if you can stick wearing the 3D glasses hopefully you will too. more ... |
 | Opportunity missed - MrBlobbyAs stated by the main reviewer, this is a must for the cinema screen and not the living room, if you are under the age of 10. However, pending Tim Burtons' Alice, I am disappointed that I did not hold out. While the whole 3D experience is impressive, the dialog, acting and general story line was so awful that it took from the experience. Typical Hollywood more ... |
 | Spectacular - paula galvinWith an interval of eleven years since his last movie,four years from conception to birth and $300million reportedly spent on it,,James Cameron's newest contribution to world cinema was never going to be anything less than spectacular and it is,astonishingly and brilliantly so.It captured my imagination and held me spellbound for three hours(so much so that more ... |
| not great - Giggleswhile i liked the presintation of the film i thought the overall the storyline was brutal and the film was very slow moving. the special effects and 3d were subtle and enjoyable i just felt the movie was very let down by the actual story!... more ... |
| pretty good, I liked it - bealbochtGranted, this may not be for everyone, and yes its true, the story is not the most complex, or orginial, but it does run along at a good pace, even for its length. It is visually excellent and imaginative, if a bit far fetched.. but hey is a movie.. get with the programme. I brought a 10 year old boy and 2, year old girls, who were well impressed, and quite more ... |
| A stunning movie with amazing visuals and great performances - yerpuI saw this movie about a week after it opened with my friends and loved it. It wasn't just the visuals that kept me entertained though,one can't deny that the plot was original but James Cameron made it his own and with a couple twists aswell. The acting was fluid and natural and not one line sounded out of place. I would highly recommend seeing this movie more ... |
 | Classic? Bargain bin in 10 years... - Cha76I ony saw this in 2D so even though people rave about it in 2D I still cant see how it can improve on the story. Its like when Toy Story came out first it could have been a crap story and not funny and it would still have been an event because it was the first computer cartoon. But it is still loved to this day because Pixar made sure the sript and more ... |
| lose yourself to Pandora - oorwullieTotally the most immersive movie experience I have ever enjoyed- saw it in 3D at the Imax in Glasgow. Later at my local cinema in 2D and it still worked! A truly stunning creation by Cameron, slightly flawed by an unnecessary, cheesy love interest- meh! Must see it again and again, experiencing it from all angles in an Imax. Pandora is an awesome creation, more ... |
| Marmite - mandyI find it funny how this movie is either loved or hated...a divide in the population. Just like the movie. I was transfixed from the off. It was like magic,something new that we have not see before. Fun exploration for my mind. I'm sure it will change the future of movies... Even if you dont like the spiritual side of the beauty of this film you must admit more ... |
 | Wowza ! - Karma-KingI went to see Avatar, because my friends made me, i never wanted to, i never liked it because the name 'Avatar' to me seemed to be stolen from the upcoming M.Night.Shamylan film that comes from a popular 'Nick' cartoon 'Avatar : The legend of Ang'. Now the film can only be called 'The legend of ang'. Anyway, seeing it only in 2D i was still amazed and more ... |
| Too much hype. - PennyLaneTo be honest I didn't have high expectations when I went to see this movie as generally people who have high expectations are always disappointed, sometimes the world puts too much hype around a movie. This movie DID have excellent quite aewsome special effects and the 3D wasn't too harsh or distracting, quite beautiful, However the Soryline failed it for more ... |
| must see for the effects shame about the storyline! - OrlaI went to see Avatar with an open mind, as I'd heard all the hype about it being the best movie of all time?? totally not the Visual effects were amazing and worth watching the movie as a once off to see it, but the Plot storyline and characters were all very forgettable towards the end of the movie when it all got very repetitive I was counting the minutes more ... |
| Visually stunning (in 3D)-thats what keeps you awake. - keeSo the hype is over and the film is out. Lots of money spent on special effects which are (in 3D) truly top notch, and probably will be enough to fill cinemas around the globe. Unfortunately, its downhill from there. With the possible exception of the ever reliable Sigourney Weaver, the acting by the 'blue' people is much better than the 'pink' people. more ... |
| brilliant - christopherIt's been twelve years since Titanic, but the King of the World has returned with a flawed but fantastic tour de force that, taken on its merits as a film, especially in two dimensions, warrants four stars. However, if you can wrap a pair of 3D glasses round your peepers, this becomes a transcendent, full-on five-star experience that's the closest we'll more ... |
| This is one of the best movie the World have ever seen :-) - Olivier BambinoSome people gave this movie a rating of 1 out of 5, I think that these (Man and women) have a problem with anything that tells the truth about this world that we live in... They have a problem accepting the cruelty of the humans sometimes... The only way to better your self is to start by looking in the mirror and see the good and bad you do... And I think more ... |
| Being There - DJ DodgyAvatar is a must see, and probably a must see in 3D also. Given the 'judging the alien by walking a mile in his mocassins' perspective the director takes with this movie the 3D is vital. The nay sayers may criticise a predictable plot. What they will not say is that when your submerged in Pandora, the alien planet featured in the movie, for 3 hours more ... |
| Beautiful Visual Imagination - Harry TuttleNo more time spent having your eyes poked out by flying knives & hatchets aimed at the audience: this film has an amazing visual imagination, not to mention skilfull blending of CGI and 'realtime' action, packaged in a plot that seems depressingly cliched until one realizes it's based on real events daily happening across the planet when one bunch wants more ... |
| A fine way to spend a January evening. - ocolVisually stunning, visceral even. The 3rd dimension will always struggle to shrug off the "gimmicky" angle but this is as close it has ever gotten to an accepted delivery format. (Albeit somewhat disconcerting when someone in front of you returns from the jacks and blends into the screen). Clear concise audio has been around for a long time and more ... |
| Wonderful - cobyWow!!! A great film that my entire family enjoyed and I enjoyed twice already. If nothing else maybe our conceited earth destroying people can get a grip and work together to secure our existence. Hats off to James Cameron. Going to see it again. more ... |
| Quite good but damn too long... - TobiAvatar is a fantastic movie with an exceptionally good cinematic experience, especially in 3D. It is quite emotionally and physically charged with great audio and visuals. Cameron did a fantastic job as it was visually well detailed and thought out. On the other hand, the movie drags on quite a bit and some scenes are dragged out far too long. It also is a more ... |
| AVATAR - Roddy GillespieWhat a bonus! My car broke down and I had a day to 'kill' before picking it up. Went to see Avatar - great decision. This film was immense. '3 D' blows the mind!! To really appreciate it though I suppose one needs to get into the minds of the 'underpriviliged' and 'put upon' of any Society - for that is what this film is really all about. The greater good more ... |
| Fantastic Film - reddanaI went to see this movie with high expectations and boy I was not disappointed! I knew nothing about the storyline only that it was filled with special effects, took 3 years to make and was the most expensive movie ever. I now know why. I had also heard someone say that it was a movie about Giant Mutant Smurfs and didn't know what to expect. To really more ... |
| Visually spectacular - tiny_sparkTo be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this film at all. I had no interest in seeing it, but did because I had the chance of seeing it in the IMAX in London. Well, the trailer certainly does not do this film justice at all, and perhaps that is intentional. The trailer doesn't give us much, but that also means it doesn't give anything away. And thanks to more ... |
| absolutely stunning - HHhhhmmmmAvatar may have taken James Cameron and the hundreds others who worked on it 4 years to make but their time and energy was definately worth it! The film is just magnificent visually stunning , you are completely transported to another world as you sit on your chair. The detail and magnificence of the graphics in this film make watching avatar more of an more ... |
| Eye candy---not brain candy - Marvin Von RenchlerWow so many mixed reviews. Went in with an open mind and left with an empty mind. As a professional reviewer said, it was easy to forget about the rest of the worls while just wondering how they did the effects, etc. Other than that is was (I see this word a LOT in peoples reviews) PREDICTABLE and somewhat shallow. If you like to be dazzled by ttechnology more ... |
 | Biggest movie disappointment in cinematic history. - simonconnollyIf ever there was a film that had to be good, it was Avatar. For a start it is the first film from James Cameron in ten years after the hugely successful, record breaking Titanic. Pair this with the $500 million budget and the astronomical amount of hype and publicity and you've got a film that really needs to impress. And I don't want to sound blunt but more ... |
| Avatar - more than I imagined!! - LittlediLike everyone at this point (1/22) I knew the basic story line and wanted to see it because of the effects and technology. What I didn't anticipate was how emotionally involved I got and how many times I was in tears. Some have ridiculed the "love" aspect of the movie as cheesy and predictable but I say BRAVO James Cameron for not only creating an more ... |
| A pretty picture, but not a good film - MarkBeautiful visuals, but there is a lack of intelligence or artistic merit in anything other than the visuals. Obviously not a turn-off for most of the users of this site, but I was disappointed by Mike's review... "It could be argued that this just gives the film an underlying message"?? Underlying nothing, the viewer is bludgeoned hamfistedly with the more ... |
| Fanf**kintastic! - LTill283I thought the movie was brilliant! I saw it in 3D at the IMAX in Colleyville and I was most certainly entertained the whole movie. This movie makes me appreciate the film industry and makes me want to pursue a career in acting! more ... |
| enjoyable - daisyHaving seen the trailer for this back at the end of November i was unsure of whether i would enjoy it but i gave in to all the raving reviews and wasn't disappointed. The cinematography is amazing, story is good, found it a little bit long but overall a good film that's worthy of the rating. more ... |
| Avatar - Sulu - suluWhat a great movie. I'm a big fan of James Cameron, The Abyss being one of my favourite movies of all time. And even though this is an entirely different film and in some ways didn't make that emotional connection with me I enjoyed every amazing minute. I didn't think the 3D really did much for the movie as I didn't think it was up to scratch but it held me more ... |
| Predictable and cheesy 3D experience - andrewireAvatar might be the highest grossing movie ever -soon it will be- but as a film is just another predictable tale by James Cameron who depends heavily on visual effects to make his movies work. Here we have one of the most expensive ever, and is all about style over substance. Yes, the visuals are striking -it's quite an experience in 3D and IMAX- but I more ... |
 | A must see!!!! - LinzI have to say I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this film! It had everything, action, romance, special effects. I think it would appeal to nearly any taste in one way or another. The story was great and the visuals of the whole film were amazing. I only have 2 pretty small issues firstly I thought it was a lil bit too long and secondly I went to more ... |
| Possibly the worst film I've ever seen - CiaranPossibly the worst film I've ever seen. To think somebody was actually paid for writing this story. The landscape was so predictable. The picture perfect world for people at sixes and eights with this world. The 3d is a distraction which I don't believe will be around for much longer. Sorry to be so negative but I really have not got anything good to say more ... |
| bad 3d glasses - anonymousI watched the movie in Bangalore Jayanagar INOX theatre. It was disgusting till the first half of the movie. (Mind I'm not complaining about the movie). They gave me and my wife totally screwed up 3d glasses. The movie was blurred the letters in the subtitles were blurred and seen double. Matter of fact they collected a deposit of RS 200 for these insane more ... |
| Looks aren't everything... - LadyRedOkay, so everyone is going crazy over this movie. Like a lot of people, I heard the hype and finally had to go to the nearest IMAX theater to take in this "masterpiece" of 3D movie history. Yes, the graphics are cool, but not extraordinay. 3D has come a long way, but the "white man taking the land from the natives, but love still conquers all" story has more ... |
| Unique but not original - maighread2008I'm not a big fan of action movies but I felt I should see this film anyway because of the things I'd heard about it. Main feedback from people was great 3d effects, weak plot and they were dead right. The film is unlike anything I've ever seen and as a viewing experience (starting to sound pretensious here but I'll carry on) it is incredible. I heard a more ... |
| Avatar - The best of the best movies in the world - AyiemThe PERFECT movies in good of directing, choosing of actors, different plots with others and great graphic. Congratulation for all person involved in performing for this movie. Hope that this movie will get more awards for this year. I am really missing to see for next episode in AVATAR 2 if have. more ... |
| A cinematic feast! - foz_e_bearDon't believe the hype, this is not one of the best movies of all time... but it is one of the best cinematic experiences of all time! The story borrows heavily from everything from 'Dances with Wolves' to 'Braveheart' (And when you're borrowing that's not a bad place to borrow from). The film is astonishingly predictable. The characters are in some cases more ... |
| Avatar - muireann bernadinoI brought my 9 year old nephew expecting that it would be his type of film and not exactly mine. I am pleased to say that both of us were totally taken by this film. The plot is a simple 'good against evil' anti-war theme with a green agenda. A real feel-good movie. It has the added bonus of the excellent 3D effects, which makes you really feel you are part more ... |
| fantastic cgi - Josephthe special effects in this film as advertised are amazing you will be glued to the screen the entire time and its true you will not be able to tell what is real and what is not,cameron definitely out done himself there and the acting was fantastic ,however the story itself was not up to par with the effects and the cast,but hey 2 out of 3 aint bad more ... |
| Go see it in 3D. See it twice! - creoleusEveryone I've talked to about Avatar wants to see it again (preferably in IMAX.) The bashing of the movie for having an unoriginal storyline or being too long just cracks me up. Since when do you see "original" storylines in huge epic movies? Or in any movies from Hollywood? This movie is so stunning in its visual effects that a more complicated story would more ... |
| VERY GOOD BUT TAKE IT EASY! - eamonndunphyWatched film before all the current hype, really enjoyed it. Very good but not the best ever!! Granted new technology has been used etc but the story has been done, very predicable but bloody good watch nonetheless more ... |
| Nice Graphics - Worst...story...ever!! - :DI cannot fathom what everyone is ranting about - what a waste of my time - worst...story...ever. Great graphics & really good in 3D but a highly unoriginal story with no twists, bumps or anything to lift it above the mundane - essentially a mix of "aboriginal/american indians/other ethnic minority" rights and a stolen story from a 2009 film called more ... |
| Very interesting movie - JanI was sceptical going to see this movie, on one hand i like James Cameron and the new technology seemed interesting, on the other hand it has big blue avatars on a planet with flying dinosaurs and it was nearly three hours long. I gave in and had to see for myself what all the hype was about. I wasn't disappointed. Joining injured marine Jake Scully on his more ... |
 | Visually Astounding - pandabatWhen has James Cameron not delivered a visually spectacular movie? I'm fairly sure that has never happened and "Avatar" is no exception. The plot can be pretty much ignored as any child with half an intellect will know what's going to happen from very early on - there are no surprises in that respect. Why 5 stars then? Well because Cameron has excelled more ... |
| Insanely epic - Sgt P2pperThis film makes you feel like someone decided to put your head through a meat mincer -and not in a bad way either. This is an impressive piece of work because although I found it amazing, I was at a cinema that only showed the film in 2-D! So to sum it up, intense, epic, has amazing visual effects and is just the right lenght. more ... |
| Average and a bit Long - jennithThis film has brilliant visuals and some of the action scene are unbelivabel and it does have a good message which is relevant today,but it is too long and that does take away from this film.The storyline is that we are going to another planet to take their natural resources as we have destroyed our own,but the locals are not too happy about this,some like more ... |
| Feast for the eyes!!!! - SarahWhat a cinematic experience!!! This was the 1st film I have ever seen in 3D and I was amazed!! It was absolutely spectacular. Avatar is an epic story. Im amazed they were able to fit it all into the 2 and a half hours. they story was good. the acting was good too, with the exception of the military commander who was just cartoonish. Weaver was great! I more ... |
| Very Enjoyable - Sham FoxVery Enjoyable Film. I agree with other reviews, its Dances with Wolves but in the future and with aliens. Don't let that stop you going to see it though. I was hesitant going to see it in 3D but glad i did as the 3D effects are overused in it. Some people might find it a little too long but i'm glad that they didn't sacrifice the story due to the length of more ... |
| Like nothing you have seen before, but - Asmoa bit long I would say. This is a great film, and the graphics are simply stunning, from the first waterdrop floating in zero g to blue alien hands reaching out to grab you it will seem as if you can touch this film. The story is less revolutionary, but it does the job of taking you through the amazing world of Pandora. As with a lot of James Cameron more ... |
| Excellent - heidiI loved the 3D version but my other half got awful headaches from it so be warned. Brill movie - truly captivating. Ok seems a bit childish on the offset but the action, special effects and not bad storyline does a good job at keeping your attention. We go to the cinema to be entertained well u will get your money's worth here! more ... |
| Good film, but just too long - AndyThis was a visually stunning film, but other than that it was nothing we havent seen before - its basically Dances with wolves but with aliens instead of Indians. Not complaining, both great films, but this almost seemed to do too much with the effects and didnt create a story of its own to enjoy. more ... |
| a must see!! - MarsI absolutely loved this movie, James Cameron gave us (well me) something unique in a way that I never thought I would say how much I enjoyed the story. So what if it was long, but what epic aint long?! Sam Worthington delivered once more on this one and totally blew me away with how well he played his character. It was maybe cheesy, but also full of action more ... |
| outstanding - Orlathis film reallly was absolutely amazing...i saw it in 2d and thought the effects were brill and im going again to c it in 3d. the storyline was great and not boring atall....you MUST go see this spectacle!! more ... |
| Breathtaking - RobWell what can I say, I mean I was litterally speachless when I left the cineima. It is deffinitly the best movie I have ever seen in my life. The graphics are incredable, it looks like your looking in real life. It is a brillient film and your missing out so much if you don't see it. 5/5! more ... |
| Nothing New... - KeithAvatar... Okay, the story, if I can get it right, is about a scientist who died after giving his DNA to be mixed with the DNA of a Na'Vi, which is an alien species from the planet Pandora...now, luckily, this (now deceased) scientist had a twin brother, who is an ex-marine now wheelchair bound, who is flown to Pandora and, through some unexplained more ... |
| fantastic effects! - CarolIm not usually a sci-fi/fantasy fan but this film was amazng, i loved the 3D, my first time. I must admit though, the film was a little too long and I was hoping for more action. At the same time though, I enjoyed it and recommend checking it out. more ... |
 | Surprisingly good! - jqbilbaoI went to see this with a fair bit of pessimism - but thought it was really good! Some aspects were a bit questionable in the plot, but overall it was very good and watchable. By the end, you do really care for those blue creatures! more ... |
| Movie of the year! - shaneEnjoyed this film thoroughly, fantastic movie. Even better that it was in 3D. Have to say though, the 3D was initially hard on the eyes but after about 15mins, you get used to it. The graphics and effects were amazing in this movie. Great story, would appeal to all ages and gender. Will rack up the oscars in February. A must see movie. more ... |
| Well worth paying to see - TerryTA few people here are saying the storyline sucks, but it doesnt really, (I'll try not to spoil it on people but) its an easy to watch storyline without too much to get confused about so its grand, not perfect though. Also, a huge amount of colourful imagination went into designing Pandora and to see how the planet works is worth seeing alone. Someone said more ... |
| EXCELLENT - SRAVANKUMARVELETISure, it has some ropey dialogue and a pretty generic story but I think these factors only make it more likely to be remembered as a classic, and as the movie that brought back "the event" film. Titanic was the exact same, and I believe this will follow suit. People said the movie would be game changing, which isnt the right word to describe it. Cameron has more ... |
| Superb Cinematic Experience - Tazio NuvolariI have never reviewed a film before and only attempt this as I am really annoyed at fellow cinema patrons awarding it four stars or less.If ever a film deserved FIVE STARSS it must be this one. I have sat through hours upon hours of inane trite every month for many years in cinemas to finally be rewarded with this rare gem for my patience. This film is to more ... |
| Impressive - Keith RMuch like Ridley Scott and Martin Scorcese, James Cameron enjoys lofty status as a directorial law unto himself. Trailblazing 80s classics like The Terminator and Aliens firmly established his ability to pace and execute within the action genre, and Titanic's Oscar-sweeping catastrophe cemented his claim to be afforded complete independence as an auteur. more ... |
| More of an art movie - Cyberx_94Avatar Directed by James Cameron (Titanic) , this science fiction film focuses on the relationship between a group of humans a tribal like alien race , the humans wish to educate/learn from/better understand this new species and have gone as far as to develop means to assume the appearance of these beings. The film is 2 hours 33 minutes long. Oh Cameron more ... |
| Entertaining but not fantastic - pat2bornot2bIt's a good piece of entertainment but the story is so standard that you can tell the ending even before much gets going. Yes it worth seeing but has a lot of flaws, smoking in a lab (you can even smoke indoor anywhere in the US), or was there some tobacco money put in here. The computer generate landscape it excellent pity the story was not a bit more more ... |
| Must see in 3D - Flippy FloppiesSpecial effects are immense this film must be seen on the big screen. Plot and dialogue aren't anything special but I still watched in awe of what was in front of me for the entirety of the film. Do be aware though, that is a long film so don't have anything planned for 2 hours after the film starts cos u won't make it :-) more ... |
| A must see in 3d - declanhSuspend disbelief as you enter the world of Pandora - it is an amazing cinematic effort - though I would have to wonder if it will stand the test of time. The 3-d effects are dramatic, particularly in the early scenes on the space ship, and obvious throughout the movie - though as one reviewer here does note, there are some scenes (chase scenes through the more ... |
| Dances with Smurfs - Patrickyes, yes. I've heard all the hype and all the slagging. Cameron's first movie since titanic made him "king of the world" over a decade ago, the single most expensive movie ever made, the ground breaking director of "Terminator" "Aliens" "The Abyss" "Titanic" to name but a few in this outrageously impressive more ... |
| The Lord of the rings in sience fiction - htiCamerons 4 year work is excelently made and stunningly presented. If this as he said is part one of three people will look forward to waiting for the next part as agerly as for LOTR. The cgi sets are stunning the Avatars are well thought through and reflect the actual story of their creation according to the movie itself. The actors while themselfs make it more ... |
| Heavy on the CGI, light on the storyline - John DunbarAnyone familiar with James Cameron's work knows what to expect here: groundbreaking technology coupled with a very basic story. As with all his previous films, from Terminator to Titanic, the 'shock and awe' induced by the amazing special effects outweighs any reservations about the rudimentary plot. In Avatar, the combination of 3D and very 'real' more ... |
| Three words - Wow and Wowzers! - Armin TamsarianIt's a story that's been told many times before, but who cares if it's told properly?! I don't. Sam Worthington is excellent as the male lead, (did he actually do that to his legs?!!), he reminded me of Christian Bale in The Machinist. Didn't Sigourney look hot as a 14-foot smurfette! Anyhoo, enough waffling, it's the astonishing cgi that make this movie more ... |
| A breathtaking adventure that tugs at the heart strings! - EmsyleeThis film is absolutely brilliant and does not dissapoint. The plot is easy to follow once you get into it and in 3D this movie is an amazing adventure with the most stunning visual effects I have ever seen. Unlike other movies, this movie struck me emotionally and I did find myself about to cry in some parts and I was so engrossed in it I couldn't stop more ... |
| PERFECT!! - GizmoPossibly the only movie I have ever come out of thinking... I honestly have nothing, NOTHING bad to say about it! Absolutely perfect! You'll want to wish Sigourney Weaver could strap you down into one of her futuristic sarcophagus' and you could walk around Pandora for yourself as it is just beautiful!! So could even the girl in the cinema refused to sell more ... |
| Amazing! - logikSome people seem to say this that the story in this film is lacking somewhat, but in actual fact it is a deep routed story with a lot of subtle points which are directly related to our planet and the destructive force, that is, humans… The film in my eyes is amazing, both visually and also character wise. The world of Pandora is mind blowingly more ... |
| A bit meh... - LisaAvatar was actually exactly what I thought it would be like. Stunning CGI but lacking a good storyline. It is at least 45 minutes too long. If you are going to see it, go to the cinema though. The special effects are amazing and would be lost on a small screen. The best part was the ad for new Tim Burton "Alice in Wonderland". Cant wait to see that one. more ... |
| Nothing but praise - IlovefilmI can say this much without a shred of doubt. I don't believe I will see a better film than this for a long time. It is a testament to Cameron's skill as a director that he was able to bring his imagination to life in such a fluid and frankly flawless manner. I can think of countless films that have been for want of a better word "rushed" and as a result more ... |
| In a word 'WOW' - SaphorThis is certainly one for the books when it comes to James Camerons Movies. It may have taken 4 years to make and cost a huge fortune to produce, but it hits all the right notes. The sheer use of colour would blow you away - as would the Na'vi in the way their facial jestures and eye movements bring a real sense of realism to the audience. The creativity more ... |
 | A must see, especially in 3D - LindaDenbyJames Cameron really knows how to blow your socks off. Brilliant storyline, spectacular effects and a rock solid cast. Once you get past the animation and immerse yourself in the plot you will be completely blown away. It is especially good in 3D. more ... |
| Mixed feelings - d kellyI felt the whole outline of the film was very exciting and adventurous. But the movie lasted to long and there was so much complications to it. overall i really enjoyed and would recommend you see it. more ... |
| Pocohantas PLUS - slydon13It is often said there are no new stories and Cameron proved it when he adapted the Disney story of Princess Pocohantas and John Smith - even the magic of the trees was included and expanded upon. I'd never been to a 3D film before but there was little to tell it apart from regular 2D. Very rarely did objects appear to move outside the screen. On the other more ... |
| A classic experience - GavinSure, it has some ropey dialogue and a pretty generic story but I think these factors only make it more likely to be remembered as a classic, and as the movie that brought back "the event" film. Titanic was the exact same, and I believe this will follow suit. People said the movie would be game changing, which isnt the right word to describe it. Cameron has more ... |
 | Visionary - old_no7James Cameron's cornucopia of fantasy and dreams comes to life in this landmark epic, a stunning achievement and his most personal work to date. After his brother is killed in battle, wheelchair-bound Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) agrees to take his place in a mission on the remote planet Pandora. In exchange for surgery that will repair his legs, more ... |
| Ava....go at something else Cameron - NiallFour years in the making + Ground breaking CGI + the most expensive movie ever made= A pretty average three hours! Its been so long since i've left a cinema after being blown away by a film and sadly Avatar didn't deliver! The film was over run by about forty minutes that by the time it started getting good an hour and a half in I was already slouched in my more ... |
| Fantastical sci-fi wonderland to bore you rigid - SlickBah-humbug. Well the score to start is rubbish, in part taken from "Enemy at the Gates" - was Enya too expensive?! "Unobtanium", the precious metal on Pandora was manufactured on earth in the movie "The Core"...ok I sound like Louis Walsh with his rulebook - well how about a story then..."Dances with Aliens", "Apocalypto".....these are cheap shots, did more ... |
| Avatar - Ann-Marieone word GENIOUS!!! Cameron has once again put together a masterpiece from the tiniest little detail on pandora to the epic battle scenes he has left no stone unturned. OK so we all knew the visual aspect would be amazing espically when seeing in 3D but a film is nothing without a story behind and the story of the solider gone rouge to the other side when more ... |
| Fantastic Movie - beeeThis is the best movie of it's type i've seen all year. Graphics are Phenomenal and great in 3D. the director and writer did well on this movie. The whole thing was great, from start to finish. Definiatly a must see film for Christmas. more ... |
| THE movie to see this Holiday season. - SlugsWhile not exactly a groundbreaker in the plot department, Avatar is by far a masterpiece in CGI. James Cameron, a man who is always trying to please the eyes, had his 4 years well spent in what really is a jaw dropping experience. Of course, it's not without it's flaws, with a plot so predictable many people will like myself know the ending before it's an more ... |
