Exactly my thoughts, exactly my thoughts, and me too! For a third time LOL (first time IMAX 3D)

Don't worry Ash, I haven't seen it yet either.

Saw the move 2x. The first time was not in 3-D and enjoyed it immensely. Saw it this past weekend finally in 3-D and it became my favorite movie of the year.

Well I finally saw it. 3d gives me a headache so I saw the 2d version. I wanted to enjoy the film anyways. Great movie even though it is cliched and has a typical popcorn flick ending. Cameron has created a beautiful planet in Pandora. I felt as if I was in another world for 2+ hours. Not bad for a $7 ticket. Acting was solid although the script wasn't free of cheesy/cliched dialogue. Watching the trailers and clips I was skeptical of how the Na'vi looked and the CGI...but it looked fantastic. I'm ready to see lots of blue chicks next Halloween!

I rarely go to the theaters twice for one movie. If Avatar is still playing at a nearby Imax next month...I just might make another trip.

9/10

And I finally saw it too...I'm actually very surprised I got to see it in the theaters, but my wife suggested it so I jumped on it ASAP.

It was definitely the prettiest movie I've ever seen. Some of the blatant attempts to make use of 3D was a little cheesy, but overall, the 3D was very well done, which I was skeptical about. The CGI in general was fantastic. I love the Hallelujah Mountains, beautiful. But as has been mentioned numerous times, the story was nothing new and followed the typical popcorn formula. And I was able to enjoy it despite this, but it's pretty blatant how it paints humans and corporations especially as evil, nature-raping murderers.

To me, a great movie requires more than pretty images though...becuase of the story, I can't give it more than an 8. If as much was invested in the story and plot as was the visuals, this really would have been something mind-blowing.
