So Avatar is a huge fucking movie. Can anybody tell me WHY?
 

Man I sat there for 2+ hours watching that stupid ass movie.. I was having a hard time staying awake.. The movie is on it's way to being one of the biggest movies all time? What a joke. lol.

Purely visual. Did you watch it in Real3D?

it doesn't interest me at all

the answer is simple: why did you go see it?

because others did. Herd mentality at its peak.

I havent gone see it nor will i ever watch it, just like all the other movies Hollywood makes and I avoid. Just dont look... i dont.

Agreed with MDCQ, Do not go see it unless you go 3D.

But appart from the visual there is no "big deal" of a movie there.

around 1000 people have reported suicidal moods and depressions after seeing the movie. How stupid is that, main reason was that people realized this planet this movie is about is not for real. People are simpletons. Hollywood should fix the climate problems. Perhaps Bruce Willis can do the job.... Oohh wait, Schwarzenegger toke his place already

What's more unique than the actual movie itself is the way the movie was actually crafted. Much of it was done with After Effects in a live environment.

Maybe he went on a date and the chick wanted to go see it.

I know that is what I did and Chick was happy with diner and movie and ended up with a pleasent ending of an evening :winkwink:

But yeah, you definitely sound like a bad ass rebel ;-)

people r sheep......feed them garbage....trust mne they will enjoy it :winkwink:

One word :

Hype



Same reason Twilight etc is huge. Doesn't matter if the film is great. Twilight is appallingly bad. So is New Moon. I've had to watch both. For girlfriend reasons! lol. But seriously. AWFUL movies, but sell hugely.

I have no idea.

Well I took my friend and her two kids to go see it for the little nerds B-Day. I really didn't have much interest in seeing it (like most movies) but the whole time there I was thinking what dumb sheep people are lol.

He asked and I answered with his own question..

he asked: Can anybody tell me WHY?

Herd mentality.

Nothing about me being rebel or anything, just answering his question.

The movie is visually outstanding... The story is stupid, what the whole world created around it is incredible. During the movie I was thinking what kind of minds can create such a beautiful world, from the plants to the animals, everything looks posible and beautiful ate the same time.

LOL... I guess pleasing that hottie has it's price! I'm sure that if guys didn't have to please their girlfriends, no movies would be breaking any records. :1orglaugh

The story blows, but if you see it in 3D it's very worth the price of admission. Without the 3D effects, it's just more Hollywood lecturing..

Hey man we cool, I wasnt giving you shit, just answering your question.

Almost everyone I know (personally) that went see this, only went see it "because everyone else is going, lemme go check it out."

I am glad my wife has zero interest in such crap. She watched a UFC marathon with me yesterday and all night LOL

I've seen it twice already, and I don't even have a GF :)

the PR was very good, every TV channel and radio station reported about that movie! It had a huge budget and a famous staff (actors&director etc..)

I paid $11 for 3 hours of entertainment. I was entertained. I am assuming others were also.

did you watch it in imax 3d though?

that makes all the difference

I didn't think you were giving me shit..lol We're pretty much on the same page about it.

Btw, I was watching the UFC top 100 fights and the fight night too. :thumbsup

Yea I put on the silly glasses like the rest of the dopes in the theater lol.

Bottom line is Cameron will be able to shout out, yet again he's "King of the World" ;-)

Cash Money baby$$$

Also, sooo much merchandising can be done with this movie, probably as much or more as Star Wars did.

It is a pleasant watch and one where the visuals justify leaving the house to see it in the theater.

Why does Avatar's success make people so angry? Lots of movies I'm not especially interested in do good box office and it doesn't make me sit up night gnashing my teeth. I'm not going to go see It's Complicated, but if other people want to, why shouldn't they?

hell yeah I dont miss UFC fights. I had to start wrking out man, my woman started watching Clay Guida too much! ;) Kidding, but she does watch the fights with me,... she likes keith Jardine with me!

Working on my cardio every morning! :winkwink:

Herd mentality? Kinda like becoming a vegetarian? it's cool thing to do lol

maybe that's the reason you don't have a girlfriend?

just kidding :winkwink:

anyway, I thought the movie was good enough to watch until the end. Definitely a lot of better ones in the past years, but it's not terrible, like some claim here.

I'm not angry, just confused. I just didn't get why the movie was so hyped. I didn't find it all that special. Matter of fact I thought it was pretty dumb. Hey whatever floats you boat I guess.:winkwink:

Can you name 10 movies from the last five years you thought were better and worth the extra cost and bother of seeing in the theater vs. at home?

Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy at heart. I'll watch Cool Hand Luke and The Good The Bad The Ugly anytime it's on TV and I own the DVD's lol.

But I was there with 5 Girls, I think that's the reason why I don't have a GF :1orglaugh

No I can't.

How many creative suites did adobe just sell!

Well ... Perrie does love Twiglets ... but she knows that they're not the best movies ever. Some people I know are SO blinded by the whole lot and it fucking annoys the shit out of me.

Still ... she's hot so it's worth it ;)

I'd like to add ...

Avatar's special effects look like a fucking videogame rendering. The HUGE difference from the live action to the CGI is so apprarent that I'm amazed no one has mentioned it yet. It literally looks like they walked into a videogame. I hate it.

Watch the new Terminator ... and it looks so much more solid visually. Watch Jurassic Park III ... those dinosaurs look pretty much like they should be there.

Avatar? No. Looks awful. I don't think it looks any more visually stunning that a really well done videogame intro... for instance, look at the Final Fantasy 13 intro stuff. Looks immense.

Avatar may be a good film but the special effects really don't look close to real so it lets it down. And yes, I know it's all about 3D, but when it hits bluray no one will have 3D TV's to watch it in 3D. So that's irrelevant.

How many creative suites did adobe just sell!

Oh no doubt they sold a ton. Problem is many of those buyers will not know what to do with it and will freak out when Johnny's birthday party doesn't look like Cameron's efforts. LOL

Love watching that behind the scene stuff. Thanks for that link.
It's funny hearing him say, First thing we did was go out and buy photo shop. As if they didn't already have it. :1orglaugh

the planet isnt full of webmasters and designers, what you notice isnt what 99.9% of the planet notices, the avg joe loved every bit of the movie and nothing else matters. Word of mouth was big for this because people liked it.
