Avatar is great.  I went to see it on the IMAX in 3D.  Go see it at the IMAX if you can.  A lady nearby me said she did not want to leave when it was over because she wanted to stay in that virtual world a little longer.  I like that Avatar pulls you into the movie and makes it an experience rather than just watching a movie.  Peter Jackson and others have looked into using similar cameras and effects from Avatar for upcoming movie projects.  I like the story for Avatar but I can see several hidden (or not so hidden) themes in the story which I found interesting.

I haven't seen it. But in the trailer and plot summary, I spotted quickly how it matches the United States' tainted and shameful history with the American Indians.

Worse than "Dune"?

Worse than "Exorcist II"?

Worse than "Plan 9 from Outer Space"?

If you're serious, that's serious scaling the heights/depths of badness there.

If you think these are examples of the worst movies ever, we need to have a talk.

Cannibal the Musical
Battlefield Earth
Queer Duck

I just want to jump in and say. The first time I saw Napoleon, I too was prone to say, what the whoop.
As I did with the first Austin Powers "Baby"
But two,three and now many times later I love both.
You think I got these opinions. By dressing like Peter Pan right here ? Forget about it !
They and many more are definitely a acquired taste. But hey I like Naked Gun and many Monty Python movies. Thats how I roll.

Dune is a classic.

The new miniseries is probably better overall.

But, Napoleon Dynamite, you didn't like it?  Probably because you weren't the target audience.

What?  Pre-teens with a sub 80 IQ?  Count me NOT in that demographic...

Ferngully meets Dances With Wolves.

There, you know the whole story, now go see it for the 3D and CGI, both of which really are breathtaking.

We went New Year's day.  It definitely lived up to the hype and I came away impressed even though it's not a typical movie genre I enjoy.  It took 45 minutes to an  hour to get my stomach to completely settle down and a little eye/brain adjustment upon leaving the theater for a few minutes.

Saw it in 2-D this weekend, gonna go back and see it in 3-D. Plotline is kinda basic, but there were some unpredictable stops along the way and the look and overall adventure makes it worth it.

P.S. Went to AMC Theaters for the first time in a long time. Place was complete trash, likely never going back. Standing water in the bathroom, half the fixtures broken, theater was not cleaned and disgusting.

Let corporate know about it.  I'd rather all our theaters were in better shape too.

I went to AMC recently to see the Boondock Saints 2 because it was the only theater in NE Oklahoma showing it.  It was so horrible and the theater smelled bad.  I also left a comment on their site.
