Pros
- When I saw the first in theaters, it was one of the most mindblowing cinema experiences of my life. It surpassed any expectation for what the technology can do.
- For a film that is 16 years old, the effects are still amazing. The realisation of the world building on show is awe inspiring. Floating mountains, dragons, the language, the Na’vi being larger than humans, bio links with the planet, it...
- The movies clearly have a massive global audience. They’re not for me, but I’m not everybody.
- Indiana and the great circle, avatar, horizon forbidden west have all been at the top
- A thing many people don’t talk about is how great it was in 3D, this and Avatar are the only two that really needed to be seen in that format.
Cons
- Parent context: I think Damon would have improved it a lot for me. Whenever I’ve thought about rewatching it I immediately think ugh I have to sit through those Worthington video diaries and stuff. But I’ll happily watch Damon video diar...
- They don’t tend to honor films like ‘Avatar’ or films that are science fiction. There's almost never properly properly recognized.
- Parent context: i got a good mix of games on it so far from gt7, to avatar, ff7 rebirth, jedi survivor, doom eternal, etc, everything looks top notch on it .. Reply: well i bought it on sale and just took it up to 'the dock' scene to fe...
- The latest avatar is 3hrs and 17 mins, no way in hell I am trying to see that midweek, that is a weekend trip.
- My theater supports 70mm films but don’t do the initial run and now Avatar has the screen locked up.

Parent context: I think Damon would have improved it a lot for me. Whenever I’ve thought about rewatching it I immediately think ugh I have to sit through those Worthington video diaries and stuff. But I’ll happily watch Damon video diary-ing in The Martian. That’s partly the script but also he’s just naturally more charismatic in low key scenes. Even Worthington’s mo-cap performance I find a bit wooden. He’s … Reply: I think Damon would have improved it a lot for me.

That’s partly the script but also he’s just naturally more charismatic in low key scenes. Even Worthington’s mo-cap performance I find a bit wooden. He’s fine, I just don’t find him magnetic to watch.

Reply: well i bought it on sale and just took it up to 'the dock' scene to feel it out, so i havent really progressed into the actual gameplay yet, only thing i noticed was the menu looked pretty complicated ..

When I saw the first in theaters, it was one of the most mindblowing cinema experiences of my life. It surpassed any expectation for what the technology can do.
When I saw it (once) again at home a few years later, it was a mildly diverting sci fi film with yes, some cool visuals.
The negatives for me are the script is a bit obvious, and Sam Worthington grates after a while. ... Stephen Lang is brilliant, the action sequences are amazing and the film itself is a triumph.
For a film that is 16 years old, the effects are still amazing. The realisation of the world building on show is awe inspiring. Floating mountains, dragons, the language, the Na’vi being larger than humans, bio links with the planet, it really does pull you in.
He's making Avatars well into the 2030's.
