figured I would start an Avatar thread.
Saw it in IMAX 3D. Cameron fixed the horrible 3D experience since he had Sony rebuild the cameras especially for his movie.
I will start out by saying yes, it is Dances With Wolves In Space. the second thing I will say is "so what, this so rules".
The complete shock and awe of the world that Cameron presented took over almost immediately and I didn't care from about 10 minutes in that the main characters were blue. or 9 ft tall, or if they would have been covered in feathers and clucked across the screen. Ok, maybe the clucking wouldn't have gone over too well.
I tried not to build my expectations too much reading about how much Cameron did to enable this picture to be made, reading about some of the rumors of motion sickness, threadbare storylines, etc. None of that mattered to me. I found myself in the theatre seat saying to Cameron "impress me" like you did with Aliens. And he came through completely.
Any one else see it? no spoilers since you have seen the story before, but not with this level of detail and awe.
