    Have you seen how they created the realism of the CGI? I think it's awesome how the actors acted it all out, not just strictly drawn.

    Sorry to be "that guy." But does anyone else think the CGI looks kind of cheesy? Based on the comments, I feel like I must be the only one.

    I'm sure it could still be a great movie, but every trailer I've seen the first thing that keeps popping into my mind as I'm watching is how much it looks like a video game. Maybe after a while you just get used to it.

    I saw the IMAX 3D preview when we saw A Christmas Carol and Avatar truly looked amazing.

    check out all the reviews from the major critics. They're saying they haven't felt like they did while watching Avatar since Star Wars first came out.

    Those who doubt it, watch it in IMAX3D at least instead of some regular garbage screen.


    I for one can't wait!

    The score by James Horner is not bad as well, here are some tracks all of which can be found on youtube if you are a fan of movie scores(weak quality):

    favorite review so far:

    "Avatar is a morally, historically, socially, and politically childish amalgam of Pocahontas and Ferngully."

    Agreed. I think the biggest thing will be getting older people(45+) and single girls(women) to go.

    Everyone knows the plot is basically Dances with Wolves with Smurfs.


    Now lets see if Cameron actually made something revolutionary.
