Fastest movie in history to gross over $1bn in revenues - it took just 17 days. Already the second highest grossing film ever, behind Cameron's other box office behemoth, Titanic.

Saw this on boxing day.
I think it 1 of the best Si-fiction films for a long long time.
I hope he makes a 2nd 1
the production is just so cool.

right now it made $1,037,736,685
I think it will beat Titanic $1,835,300,000

why you should watch in 3D

the best 3 3D scenes

1. The First Flight

When you first take the skies in Avatar it's as good as any ride at an amusement park. I mean, who hasn't had dreams of being able to soar around? Well, Avatar is about the next best thing, giving the audience plenty of time to just soak it all up as you watch our Navi protagonist soar above a picturesque gorge ? and the effect of 3D really makes you feel like you're high in the air, too.

2. Those Awesome Holograms

Where Minority Report made the idea of touchscreens sexy, Avatar is inspiring that same kind of lust in us for holograms. They've never looked this good. With your 3D specs on, they may as well be real, too. Sadly, the real-world technologies that remind us of what's being used in Avatar ? such as Microsoft's Surface table ? can't conjure up holograms. What's worse, we're in for a long wait ? over 100 years, if we're waiting to catch up to Avatar

3. The Busy Battles

The aerial action in Avatar simply looks damn good. But it's not all pretty explosions: the amount of Navi warbirds and human aircraft engaging one another really lets the movie play with 3D and all the different layers of stuff going on and getting blown-the-eff-up. What really stuck out to us, oddly enough, was the smoke trails behind the missiles. It's almost mesmerizing the way each one looks a little different, and really gives you a good spatial sense of where the missile started and where it's going. It's also a good example of how Avatar, crafted for the 3D viewing experience, is able to show off the tech in nuanced, subtle ways, rather than just having a character throw something toward the audience for an "Ahhh!" moment.

Just saw it in 3D tonight. Great visuals, 10/10 on that front.

Horrible plot. I mean, to say the plot is weak is a complete understatement. Completely predictable, stereotyped anti-US, anti-corporate, anti-military, pro-environment, tired plot that gets played out over and over and over again in Hollywood.

Without any spoilers, here is the plot: America trashes its planet, so it goes to another planet rich in natural resources to exploit the resources because they are very profitable for big corporate greed, and of course, the indiginous planet-loving locals get in the way, so the corporate "bad guy" with his "military" buddies say "our shareholders value profits over people" and sets out to destroy them. How lame... how stereotypical...

but, as people say, great visual experience if you can hold your nose at the boring left-wing plot...
