I'm pretty repulsed by the whole "greedy militaristic power vs. band of noble savages" plotline, and the fact that all indications point to the savior of the savages being the one sent by their enemy to infiltrate them who then falls in love with one and sees the beauty of their primitive ways. For all of its supposedly revolutionary technical advances, they couldn't get a better script?

Also finding it strange that none of the advertising I've seen is promoting the 3-D aspect. Isn't that what was being rumored to "change movie forever" while the thing was in production for all those years?

So, basically, I'm not really that jazzed about it either.

I'm not too excited about it but I will go see it, hopefully at the IMAX theater. Cameron's movies are always worth seeing in the theater.

This movie will stiff like a herd of zombies with nowhere to go.

Not really. Oh, I'll probably rent it when it comes to dvd, but I've pretty-much stopped going to theaters. I've certainly noticed the hype, though. THe toys are in the stores already, and this week's episode of Bones featured a rather large movie plug in a sub-plot where members of the team were taking turns camping-out on-line for the movie premier.

Is this the Ferngully remake?

Movies like this are like kryptonite to me. That said, I know people who want to see it, but not as much as the hype would have you believe.

The only real advertising I see nowadayas is on the inside of a Netflix envlope.

There is not enough marijuana in the world to make this movie good.

Wait. Maybe there is.

Dude.

What?

I'm looking forward to it because of the 3D supposedly being better than anything else ever, and because Cameron makes great audience-pleasing films (although not always the deepest). I don't know whether I should expect to be thrilled with what I know about the plot, or not. I mean, I thought I knew the plot to Titanic, but it turned out to be quite engaging (if, again, not very deep.)

I can't think of a movie I'm less interested in.

Oh but Hitler's reaction to the Avatar Trailer is I think the absolute best of the "Hitler Downfall" YouTube meme.

That reaction was hilarious.

As for me, I really couldn't care less about CG-based films. When I used to see special affects, they always were some kind of strange magic to me, and I wondered at how they could make skeletons move. Now the answer is always the same- a bunch of software geeks locked in a room.

I have been watching Babylon 5 recently - never saw so much as a single episode of it during its run - and it has a lot of CG which are pretty primitive by today's standards but which are deployed so well that they've given me more HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME moments than anything I've seen in a theatre in the past decade.

I was kind of indifferent about it, no strong feelings either way, and then I read most of the script treatment scriptment (stupid word), and now I want to go see it.

It sounds like the kind of movie I won't regret paying for, which is all I ask.

Me and my man saw the trailer all of a sudden on TV, and we both went "Uhhhhmm... Yeah, I wanna see that in a theatre" because we're hoping the story is better than the usual fall in love with the savages and we're both suckers for cgi.

Then the 2012 trailer came on and we both said: We're going to that one first!

* note, we never have time to go to the movies. we just pretend that we will eventually.

I still like going to see movies in the theater many times more than I like watching them on DVD; I wish that I had more time to get out. I just can't ever concentrate enough when watching a movie on TV; I end up with the laptop in my lap or doing some other task while I watch and I never really pay enough attention. It's worth the $9 to be forced to sit for two hours and just watch a movie and not have to think about anything else.

Avatar has been hyped with the same "action" trailer for so long that I didn't know if there was a story worth supporting behind all the CG gloss. Then I saw a more story-detailed trailer, and got kind of interested, and I want to see this "immersive 3D" that was worth a 3 page write-up in TIME (not that TIME is a bastion of critical review). But more recently, Avatar was shoved into a recent Bones episode in a rather ham-fisted way, and I worried that it might just suck, and they're blitzing the public from any possible angle. I'll wait until I am near an IMAX theater, for the full ridiculous experience, which might never happen.
