| Re: Avatar (2009) I don't agree with the naysayers on this one at all. Sure, there are a lot of second hand concepts, but it's hard to find originality these days. Besides, the beauty of this movie is in the story telling. |

| Re: Avatar (2009) It may be hard to find originality, but that's no excuse for filling every minute with cliche and tedium. I approached this film with excitement, which turned to boredom and then contempt as it unfolded. It's utter dross. |

| <3D~  | Re: Avatar (2009) I'd agree with that, Stephen. I saw it in 3D at the cinema. Thought it looked nice but had crap dialogue and was pretty boring. Then I watched bits of it when it was on TV the other day and thought the 'special effects' looked awful. It looked so computerised! It's probably one of those films that's best at the cinema. Whilst you're wearing daft glasses. |

| Destroyer of Words  | Re: Avatar (2009) I have to say I've no desire or interest in seeing it again, although the original 3D experience was, to me, mind-bogglingly brilliant. That, of course, was down to the near out-of-body experience that I felt I was sharing, being on an alien world that completely immersed me. I doubt a second viewing, even in 3D, will affect me as profoundly. |
