          I saw it when it came out, liked it but didn't think it was gonna become such a big thing.

                  Its a mediocre movie, but fantastic marketing. I still say next year its a dust collector.

                      I had a lot more respect for the movie until I was reminded of Pocahontas... But the graphics were amazing still.

                              I never saw Pocahontas, Running with Wolves, The Last Samari, or any of the other movies people draw parallel story lines with, so who knows.

                              Avatar includes colorful graphics, an alien planet, a decent story that may or may not be 100% original, and cutting edge 3D.

                              I think it is unique enough to be judged on its own.

                                      I see it maybe around 2.6 billion if not more, depending on how long it will be out in theaters. Still though, it is much more impressive than what Titanic did, especially if you figure in $13 per ticket where you still get repeat customers, piracy that didn't exist during Titanic, and Titanic being in theaters for around 7 months while Avatar might be in for 3 at the most.

It happens, Camron has been thinking about this story for 15 years and it worked out quite well for him. Its worth it to watch in theaters and def buy on blu-ray

I always presumed that the IMAX 3D screen was different than a standard screen (other than the size). I know the 3D glasses they gave us were different than any I have used before.

I always presumed that the IMAX 3D screen was different than a standard screen (other than the size). I know the 3D glasses they gave us were different than any I have used before.

                                                                                                                  The IMAX 3D glasses are different than the regular theater 3D glasses.

                                                                                                                  I saw it at a regular theater, but still in 3D.

                                                                                                                  I'm wondering if the upcoming DVD, played on a home theater flat screen, can still offer 3D if you wear the correct glasses at home.

                                                                                                                  Anyone know?

The BluRay/LCD 3D spec has been approved by all the electronics companies. 2D home flat screens are already ramping up the assembly lines. CES had dozens of demo production models already. Next year all the majors will have full 3D flat screens and the glasses will be polarized type.

The BluRay/LCD 3D spec has been approved by all the electronics companies. 2D home flat screens are already ramping up the assembly lines. CES had dozens of demo production models already. Next year all the majors will have full 3D flat screens and the glasses will be polarized type.
