Would try to watch it in 3D.
Not expecting as per story, expecting mind blowing visuals.

Rounding up me mates to catch up with the weekend show in 3D. The trailers haven't impressed me, but it's James "f*ckin" Cameron, the god of sci-fi cinema, so it deserves a watch.

Hopefully the movie will be good - but here's something weird I noticed - Digit's review of Avatar (posted Dec 18) and The Guardian UK's review of Avatar(posted Dec 11) are exactly the same even though posted by two different authors. Digit should look into this case of what looks to be blatant plagiarism.
Here are the links below so you can decide for yourself

Just back after watching late night show of Avatar 3D

I would give this a 10/10. Just for the reason that this is something that I have never experience before. Terrific visuals and oh god, I want to be one of Na'vi people :)

Me too got AVATARED few days back. Will recommend this movie for Pandora and the CG incredibleness :)

But the movie reminded very much of Hayayo Miyazaki's anime classic Princess Mononoke.
*www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoZpCmcnM_s Check this clip to get a rough idea.

Also check this science fiction work by Ursula K. Le Guin which shows a lot of resemblence *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Word_for_World_Is_Forest

Well just saw it few hours ago....
Well the movie has created history for sure. The graphics/3D, animation integration is absolutely awesome. This movie has set new grounds for CGI films. The experience is extremelly immersive, and one does not feel like getting up. Well if a movie can do that, then I think it is good. If you argue from a critique point of view...yea..then the story is nothing great, really simple. Most of our hindi movies are like this. A hero reaches a new place, becomes the helper, is beaten the **** out off, and in the end prevails -- with a girl on his arm. Message is strong though.

Worth a watch. No ways was my 2xRS300 + popcorn+pepsi+2.5 hours wasted. :)

I saw this movie on last week. I like it presentation and nice sound effect. Cameron did such a nice job. He took 2000 character movie and 500 camera to made this movie. This movie is one of the best movie of 2009. I think this movie is desreve to take oscar award.

hey digitians from bangalore dont ever go to watch Avatar in Urvashi, had a real bad experience over there today, the 3D over there really sux i did not get any feel of 3D at all (i dont no about the other movie halls) and the eyes were really burning and while stepping down from the stairs, i fell and that 3D glasses got some crack in it and after that, the owner of urvashi really pissed me off *www.techenclave.com/images/smilies/rolleye17.gif he says that the glasses are 4300 bucks which he had got it from USA and he told me to pay 2500 bucks for this and finally after a long conversation *www.techenclave.com/images/smilies/argue.gif i just paid him 1000 bucks...
are those glasses really 4000 bucks *www.techenclave.com/images/smilies/confused1.gif or i just paid him extra...

Yeah. AVATAR's the BEST movie I've ever seen. Ye don't feel Na'vis are CGI. They're Phucin' real! Gotta watch it in 3D. I couldn't wait for 3D and I went to 2D. Awesome, Cameron, awesome! Those Na'vis and Pandora ain't real. :cry: I love Jake Sully. Can't wait for the sequels! Sh*t! Humans sucks. I wanna be a Na'vi. BTW, I love Colonel Quaritch. He's an awesome badass!

If you mean the real scene in regional language..then no in the theatrical version.

But, cameron has decided to release the mating scene between the hero and navi girl in the DVD. I believe, there is something strange in the above scene, which was enacted in Navi' style. :)

its not worth the hype that its getting. not worth the 4 star review it got in TOI. not "mindblowing" as many reviews say. its like the world media is in the payroll of james cameron.

the 3D was not as good as i was expecting it to be. watching the same movie in 2D would not make a huge difference. the 3D only marginally adds to the effect.

certainly not worth the rs 180 ticket price. I prefer movies like 300.
