Brilliant movie. I thought it was a mix between Tarzan and Lord of the Rings with a hint of the Iraq war.
Visuals were incredible. Makes me want to go back and see it in 3D.
I don't want to ruin the ending for anybody, so I will keep this vague... but I believe one of the ending scenes when a large group of Sky People were going back, they weren't wearing masks when they were walking outside. Did anyone else catch this or am I mistaken?

I haven't seen it, but it looks to me like it suffers from what all CGI suffers from. It just doesn't look real. It's not convincing. It doesn't force the suspension of disbelief. Now with CGI you "can" do "anything". Before CGI the holy grale of special effects was to make them look real. Now it's just to make them and they're not special anymore. I'll probably go see it in 3D because that will likely help the effects look better, but I'm not expecting much from this.

Saw it earlier tonight, its been a while since people clapped at the end of a movie I saw in theaters. The visuals were amazing of course, has to be seen in 3-d. I thought they looked very realistic, but you have to take the color palette into consideration too. The colors used can at first make it look less realistic, but the level of detail and reality in it is pretty insane when you look at the small parts of it.
I thought the story and acting was good too, not bad and not great, good. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. You have to rate it against movies of the same ilk, so something you compare this to would be King Kong or 2012, which it owned in every way. I think the technology is revolutionary, as its the best CGI I've seen to date. Overall if you like big movies go see this in 3-d immediately. The whole time I couldn't help but think what if Cameron had directed the new Terminator movie. A shame he moved away from that franchise, the man clearly still has the touch for making great movies and advancing the industry.

Saw it the other night in 3d. Pretty amazing. I thought the story was okay. The music (by James Horner) was crap. I thought it was very realistic. CGI was flawless imo. There were acouple of scenes where the sky people should have had masks on and didn't. Especially when they were in the helicopters.

I was skeptical about seeing Avatar in 3D because I've never handled 3D well at all. Last 3D movie I saw I had to take the glasses off because of the motion sickness thing. This 3D was way different for me. They didn't fly stuff at your face, which always bothers me. It just made everything thing rich and full of texture. Pandora is the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
Amazing movie. 2 thumbs way up!
Oh and the trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland during the previews

Seriously? This is just sad. You know what? The Emerald City isn't real either and I would love to be a student at Hogwarts.
I'm sorry, this just sounds like natural selection to me.
"(CNN) -- James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle "Avatar" may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora."
