3D in the cinema was mint - at home I'd give it 80

An over moralized and poorly told children's story dressed up in billion dollar special effects. I wasn't half as impressed as I was supposed to be.

Cameron develops Pandora as a whirlpool that swallows you whole with its immersion. The amount of detail and thought gone into this picture is absolutely monstrous. 3D is utilized to aid this effect and not just tacked on as a gimmick. Does it matter about the somewhat prosy plot? Well a bit, as repeated viewings hurt, least its pretty to look at.

Thought the casting could have been a little better

so so story, amazing visual and battle scene. Much better movie 2nd viewing.

Netflix

James Cameron's spectacular epic sci-fi adventure is one of those movies that needs to be seen in the cinema/theater for full effect and what an effect it has.

Amazing visuals - dreadful, hackneyed and patronising story.

If only special effects could save a movie.

I had so much fun watching it in 3D!!!

The more misanthropic movie ever made. But the greatest 3D ever.

Total cliché.

Undeserving of all the praise its gotten. Its not that damn hard to film pochahantas in 3-D with cat people.

The film isn't interesting, seriously unoriginal, super trivial with all that holy trees and tame red dragon trick, damn foolish with mentals and feelings both avatar\people. It was dark blue ruined entertainments.

Retarded!

The story was so obvious I thought I might be psychic for being able to predict the whole film, in my head of course, I'm not one of those smug bastards that think everyone wants to listen to me in the cinema. You know who you are. Still, stunning visuals and a fun show made it very enjoyable.

Effects and nothing more.

The only reason I'm not giving this 100 is the fact that the plot is extremely predictable... and not just at a few points throughout. If you have ever seen a movie before, you literally know what's going to happen next at every stinkin' point in the movie. BUT, despite the fact that it's riddled with cliches, all of them are extremely well done to the point that you really don't mind. The visuals are astounding (duh), and Zoe Saldana is crazy hot. Yeah, I said it.

knew i was in for a special treat right from the get go! highly recommended!

I think I understand Titanic fans a little better: here we have a derivative script with simple dialogue, but this is not important. The basic story structure has been done before, but the context and characters and creatures have not. I didn't leave the theater thinking Avatar was groundbreaking, and maybe that was its biggest flaw: the marketing; but the film, the entire world, immersed me completely. Maybe it's the little sci-fi nerd in me that still yearns for new worlds to explore and love.

Very pretty and thrilling adventure in need of a more profound sequel.

The visual part of the movie undoubtedly great, but the rest was seen thousand-times over and over. Sweet Pocahontas!

What a blast. I cannot remember any movie which made me feel disappointed that it ended so soon. It's a a feast for the eyes and a must-see on the big screen. If you don't enjoy this flick, I don't know what can. Yes, the story-line is thin, but only whino's pay attention to that. This is the new Jurassic Park.

i liked it in theaters but its dumb as hell and i was really stoned at the jordans furniture imax and i cant imagine actually wanting to watch it again

Admittedly I entered Avatar with quite a negative attitude, ready to find faults and toss this much hyped production to one side. In reality I was totally immersed from start to finish. Pandora is a fantastic vibrant environment, intricately designed and wonderfully organic, flowing naturally across the varied landscape. The plotline may be a little contrived and utterly predictable, but remaining so captivating despite this only serves to show how excellent the production of Avatar really is.

amazing use of 3-D technology, and very much enjoyable when seen as such in a large theatre, but the overall bland and cliche story makes it almost instantly forgettable.
