Looks like, universe-willing, seeing it again for a 4th time in Barrie next weekend, but trying it in just regular 3D this time. 
They were supposed to mind-blowingly amazing. They were okay.
Story get's a 1/10
Characters get a 1/10
Graphics get a 7/10
Time get's a 1/10
Movie get's a 2/10 or a FAILURE.
Best part of the movie was that the theatre had Sour Patch Watermelon.
i thought that the graphics were way more than ok, it still didn't make this film anything other than disposal, one off entertainment. There are children's movies with better plot development.
got 3 IMAX tickets for TODAY 7pm @ Scotiabank theater for sale
friends dropped down sick so can't go
PM or msg here!
Finally saw it today in 3D. Story wasn't that bad with the exception of some cheese here and there. Wasn't too much character development, but whatever, effects and 3D totally mind blowing. I look forward to Mr. Cameron's next project for Battle Angel. A new leap forward in film making folks!

I saw this yesterday in 3D and was amazed....
Yes it was predictable...
Yes there wasn't too much character development...
But I thought the story truly showed the shit that has happened here for a long time and made me sad for our own history...
The graphics were out of this damn world and the design of Pandora was incredible...
I will DEFINITELY see it again...

Saw it again, this time I sat in the middle, so I'd get closer to the action on screen. Still left me in awe the second time around.
Saw it yesterday and thought that it was very well done. Story line seemed to be similar to a few movies blended together, but a nice concept still. A very good escape from reality, which is what a movie is supposed to be.
overall 9/10.
story wise avatar was dances with wolves in 3D
visually = the next generation of eye candy a la star wars, or jurassic park.
One thing I don't like about 3d though, is the fact that after being spoiled with digital cameras, it seems like a step back to be forced to focus on a single object in the film at any given time.
Still, highly recommended, and something everyone has to get out to the theatre to see.

I'm not sure what the big deal is over it copying Pocahontas' story.
There are thousands of copy cat movies out there.
The difference between the good and the bad ones is that the good movies have a fresh and exciting take on the idea.
Avatar is about as fresh and entertaining as it gets in that department.

Avatar voted best drama? You're fucking joking right?
Only drama I saw in the film was getting tickets, first time booking tickets online 3 days before the show.
Visual = 8/10
Storyline = 6/10
EDIT "Appearntly Cameron wrote the storyline 15yrs ago and didn't adjust it to present time"
Cameron, get with the times dude ... No wonder your storyline sunk like the Titanic.
are we STILL on the storyline? geez get on with a program

*geek alert*
Here's a tip for those who want to see this: go watch it in 3D not IMAX.
While James Cameron is obligated to promote the IMAX theaters publically (due to an insiders deal with the cinema chains) he has strongly recommended to not watch this in IMAX (and confirmed by 1 of the Avatar's VFX directors as well) the reason being this is shot wide and for IMAX theaters they had to adjust for the screen width and crop both ends of the film, so some detail has been lost on both edges due to the cropping.
Nothing too earth shattering, but if you're going just for the visual eye candy, thought you might want to enjoy the full-detailed version vs.
the modified version.

District 9> Avatar in 4-D
It's pretty obvious it's gonna get best pic at the Oscars...either that or The Hurt Locker, but Hurt Locker is not the same crowd sweeping mainstream spectacle that Avatar is. None of those awards are based on merit, but some other political motif or which studio had the best marketing really.
Finally get to see this tonight!! 
So pumped, love the imax.
I don't think I've been to the IMAX before I'm really excited!
