Apparently you don't know that 3D TVs (and I suppose home cinema projectors) are going to be a hot product for 2010.

I've read both yours and Baz-mans reviews and i have to say your both right! I had friends who completely loved the film and thought it was stunning. And i had friends who hated Avatar but they went in to the film already hating it (like Bazman who wrote a few articles that knocked the film before its release) and so were never going to enjoy the film no mater what.

It's incredible the reactions this film is getting and i think people are missing the real point of it. Its not trying to be Great story, It's trying to show something new in cinema in its incredible technology and CGI that was matched perfectly with its story and for that it succeeded in it 100% and has to be commended and whether we like it or not CGI is playing a huge part in almost every film released and this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Those of you who are knocking the 3D are utterly clueless, that opening scene in the Stasis room on the ship flying to Pandora was the most incredible form of Depth ever shown on the big screen and that can't be knocked as nothing like that has ever been seen before in film. It wasn't gimmicky it was revolutionary and the first attempt is never going to be perfect, i can't wait for the next big film using this technology.

As for the negative side, Avatar is never going to be a success on the Home cinema world in standard 2D which is a shame and the acting was ropey and flat but altogether it did work and i think it's sad people are going to the film rating it on it's quality of story, acting etc when you should just relax, switch off for 2.5 hours and just lose yourself in a wonderfully entertaining movie instead of thinking it's the new coming so we better knock it for the sake of knocking it!

Thing with 3D for me is that I'm constantly reminded I'm at a movie theatre. That's not how my vision works. It's a telling reminder of the effect that's being played and honestly did it add that much value to the film? not really, in fact overall, it made it blurrier than the 2D version. I really hope we get over this 3D craze and quick.

Movie Master, what on Pandora are you talking about? There have been no reports of any adverse reactions to the 3D glasses what-so-ever and to call Avatar “An Historical Box Office Failure” when it's official release is today(18th) is quite possibly the most idiotic comment I've ever heard. Already outdated technology?! You are out of your mind! Why don't you go back to playing with your World of Warcraft Avatar in your blacked out little W*nk room in your parents house and stop making statements that have no foundation at all that just make you look stupid.

Thanks for the review. To be honest I wasn't extremely excited about seeing this but after your review I'm very interested to try to see it in 3D. Have a great holiday!

Avatar is a panned piece of garbage with already outdated technology, and an historical box office disaster. All the viral marketing trolls sent out onto the internet to push this bomb can't change reality. Wearing 3D glasses for 3 hours gave the audience a massive splitting headache. They should have seen this coming. The technology to make this movie is substandard and overhyped as being cutting edge. Real cutting edge tech is on the internet 24/7. That's where you find the real avatars, not in clunker movie theaters. This movie bombed for every apparent reason as it should have and was expected to. It was a failure in every way.

I have just seen it, in 3-D. All I can say is wow. The CGI is so good you don't realize its CGI, the visual stuff is just spectacular, the acting excellent and the story has so many levels - political, spiritual, personal. It is excellent, I was blown away.

I will probably never look at other films in the same way. Every other special effects film will now pale in comparison, and relatively recent special effects films which pushed the boundries of their own generation - like The Matrix, look a bit dated in comparison. Just makes me wonder what Lucas could have done in Star Wars with this technology, and what might be possible in big films in the future, especially epic and big films. Seeing a Superman film with this technology, would be simply one of the best things ever - the flying scenes in this film are probably the most spectacular.

Not only is it necessary to watch this in the cinema, but it is necessary, in my opinion, to see it 3-D. It simply won't be the same on a TV screen, even a 50 inch HD TV. That's simply not how it was meant to be seen.

I agree totally with the review above. Excellent film, effects so real you don't know they are effects. I would like to see a film which doesn't need so many effects in the hands of a great director with this technology. The mind boggles as to what Lucas, Spielberg, Burton and others could do.

I look forward to finding out...

Hi. Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to seeing it at the IMAX next week. One thing that you'd need to look at again, though, is the “its” and “it's” glitches. They get us all sometimes.
