Avatar is like the iPhone...

I think we can agree on that point.     I may be seeing it later today with a friend who wants to see it.  Actually, I think I'd rather see Sherlock Holmes but we'll probably be seeing Avatar.

I want to see Sherlock Holmes.

[Ironman]

Yeah from the trailers sherlock holmes looks good

[Computer Hope Admin]

I wasn't that impressed with Avatar either, CGI was great but plot was old and boring. But after people telling me that I didn't get the full experience because I didn't watch it on IMAX or in 3D I'm regretting the fact that I may have to sit through another 3-hour bad show to see the *pretty* visual effects.

Sherlock holmes was pretty good

REAL English please. English. We're not 1337 h4x0rz.

There will be an AVATAR 2, but not sure of the name.
It is a Trilogy, we got to see the second part first.
Like this:
2 AVATAR (this first one made)
3 The Return (yet to be made, but the money will motivate them.)
1 The first voyage (who knows when if ever they do this)

Makes you think of how they did Star Wars.You know the main character is not dead, so you have to see the next one.

I read that the next movie will be independent from the first one (different plot entirely).
Can't remember the source however.

IMO, Avatar is the best movie I've ever seen. Hands down.

IMAX Total: 4.5/5 STARS

4.5? Why the missing .5?

4.5? Why the missing .5?

plot.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Whoopty doo. The plot isn't original. Who cares? It works!

Heck, I didn't even know it was an unoriginal plot until someone told me.

Which is why it is a 4.5 and not less.

[Geek-9pm]

What part of the plot was not original?
Discovery of a unknown world?
Love between two people from different worlds?
Conflict of Good and Evil?
Use of a advanced weaphons against bows and arrows?
Demoralization in a militarily organization?
Genetic engineering.
Cloning of a higher life form?
Genocide?
Swing on vines?
Save my trees?
Stupid man meets smart woman?
The above plot lines are so broad, it would be hard to do a modern movie without them.
I thought the plot was very original in how the main guy gets back the trust of the people. He jumps on a great bird and flies in to the rescue. Or did somebody already do that? Yeah, but that was a cartoon.
