I'm not biased against anything. It was a typical popcorn flick with good - but not amazing - effects and a pedestrian script.



The effects in D9 were better from my perspective. They appeared photorealistic and "really there" whereas Avatar felt like a highly rendered cartoon to me. Very pretty, but not better.



Yeah, I'd already seen that in the Star Wars prequels. So the whole movie is set in Felucia - big deal.

I'm not talking about the script at all. And as far as looking like a cartoon--I don't remember seeing any black lines around the characters, I think you might have some kind of eye disease (really should get that checked).

BTW, Felucia was partly a miniature--so, not quite the same thing



Looks like the extended edition is supposed to be a pretty big deal, Cameron is working on a big making-of documentary and Weta is working on the deleted scenes

Thanks for that useless post!

Avatar: Limited Edition (Pre-order Only) Steelbook with 4 Lenticular Artcards and An Activist Survival Guide to Pandora [Blu-ray]

An Activist Survival Guide to Pandora (203 pages) is a confidential report from the Resources Development Adminstration (RDA) on the biological and social history of Pandora. The report details Pandora’s alien ecosystem; its mining opportunities and topography; its flora & fauna; and the culture, language, and physiology of the indigenous hunter-gatherer race, the Na’vi. Exceedingly profitable, Pandora provides challenges to successful exploration and extraction. From its gravity defying Hallelujah Mountains to the gigantic carnivorous thanator, Pandora poses continual dangers to RDA personnel. Included in this resource are highly confidential and detailed descriptions of RDA technology and weapons systems deployed to suppress the Na’vi and defend employees against the dangerous Pandoran environment.

[darthviper107]

Probably the regular DVD

Too bad, looks like it's a UK exclusive

 

[meth head]

It doesnt on the amazon page but i am sure the info is out there

 

[Khev]

It'd be nice if Hot Toys used the Blu-ray release as an excuse to show some product.

Yea they freakin relesed a freakin clash of the titans image, so you can do perseus but no jake sully, i can understand iron man coming early but avatar should be here soon. Man i cant wait to get this dvd tho.

 

[IrishJedi]

Dang... the Avatards up and got a second-wind of Defensiveness.

 

[ironwez20]

dude im sorry but if you hate like insulting avatar so much, then why dont you make a i hate avatar thread.

 

[CelticPredator]

Oi.....thats not what he wants. He wants you to stop attacking everyone who dislikes the movie.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Haha. Why so sensitive?

I bowed out of this conversation a while ago ... but I still read it on occasion (it amuses me). I didn't like Avatar -- I thought it was ridiculous, and that its more rabid fans were even more ridiculous. It is fitting that it is being released on "Earth Day" ... let the hippie ridiculousness abound.

I cannot understand being offended that someone else doesn't like a movie that you do ... especially to the extent that every negative comment gets an angry response.

Lighten up, Francis ...

... its just a movie.

You guys really take the poking way too seriously... its just happening because it's causing such a predictable and funny response from Ironwez. Heck at this point I'd almost suspect he's in on the joke as well.

He's not. He was JUST like this on another board I went to. The dude's way too sensitive for the internet.

Getting back on topic, is anyone else using their tax return to buy AVATAR on Blu-ray?
