Is Munky right about Avatar?

[radddogg]

Following on from this thread

Is Avatar really as bad as Munky says?

No discussion, just simple good or bad.

[BrackenFox]

Where's the option for 'Meh'?

I thought it wasn't that bad, but not that good either. Watchable, but forgettable.

[ttrw2]

Is that the one with Leo di Caprio and the airplane?

[bjrespect]

iv voteded bad even though i havent seen it

its due to that fooking sound they play every 2 mins on the radio

It was OK, but just reminded me of watching a disney movie. Same plot, same graphics. You do get to see sigourney weaver almost naked, but then you did in aliens, and no offence, but she was a lot younger then.

I can't for the life of me figure out why there is such a hype, apart from the fact it is 3D.

Hurt locker was also a watchable movie, but not exactly cimena of the centuary.

Honestly Zombieland was better than both, just for the lulz.

Zombieland can be watched again and again. I enjoyed the others though.

[Sheaf]

Was good IMO. Maybe not as good as all the hype, but was still good. Glad I saw it in 3D too.

lol it's the one with tall, blue men and women that worship a tree

[Richard_is]

I stopped watching after less then 5 minutes. I get bored easily

[shaggy]

Its not just the film though is it

The whole 3D experience (proper 3D) was class.

I thought it was a really good film and deserves the praise it gets, then again its all down to personal preference etc

[TheRealStig]

great film imo

[marc9584]

Reminded me of a Jack Nicholson line in a Batman film which was a corruption of a quote from Robespierre the French revolutionary.
The Joker: You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.




Apologies for the spurious pic but it made me lol.

[munky]

dont blame me!

I was just reacting to rovex's tendency to be fanatic about anything he likes. I didnt ask anyone to agree.

[Punx0r]

Perhaps he's just passionate and dedicated?

How's the running going BTW?

[munky]

passionate/fanatical... same difference.

Badly.

[Roverdose214]

Great film, to long tho. Sigourey Weaver aint lookin to bad tho

[618ireland]

ie I reckon Munky is right tbh.

[rovex]

Im not fanatical about it, i just didnt think the criticism it got was justified and sometimes came across as a bit pretentious. The only thing im fanatical about is my absolutely hatred of Apple and its products.

that iPhone thingy works well though doesn't it...and they do have a strong history for designing product which make technology more user friendly, such as windows for example.

[Steve220]

Windows 7 - doing what Mac OSX has been doing for the past few years lol.

[rovex]

Apart from crashing and looking hideous you mean (oh and running games).

The iPhone? Well it works well enough i guess, depending on you want to do. Shame its ugly, old and limited, and expensive.

Ok well got the Blu-ray. Whatever you think of the film the blu-ray is absolutely stunning. It really doesnt need 3D at all. The disc is one of the best ive ever seen. Its absolutely reference quality, both picture and audio are stunning. The review at blu-ray.com says it all.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Avatar-Bl ... view/7847/

Even if you dont like the film, the disc is a must. Like in the early days of HD, certain films were a must, just for the spectacle. I think The Chronicles of Riddick was an example of a rubbish film with a reference quality transfer. Perhaps thats why Avatar has broken yet another record. Its the fastest selling BD ever, selling 1.5 million in the US on the first day. The Dark Knight held the record before with 600k.

Im gutted i had my blu ray copy sent to work so cant get it till monday but i saw it at the cinema and cant wait to watch in on blu, im always on blu-ray.com as well so i saw the review last night cant wait to hear the explosions in dts hd

[618ireland]

There is not way I'd sit through that sh1t again

[Null_Byte]

The Chronicles of Riddick was a way better film than avatar imho.

[munky]

It was, but it was no where near as good as pitch black.

On a side note, I just watched 'knowing' on sky movies... tinky winky LOL what an utter utter bag of sh*t. I had tears of laughter rolling down my face when the clouds opened and the 'higher beings' appeared. Epic.

Youwont be disappointed. The picture really is flawless. No grain, no shimmer, no artifacting whatsoever. Its got to be one opf the best BDs ive seen. As long as your TV is big and your speakers loud its a winner. The BD shows that the film doesnt really need 3D at all.

Blu-ray.com mentioned that at the very end of the disc after the credits there is a THX demo. It sounds fabulous!

[tonyrally]

i thought it was well to put it bluntly 5hit. but i preffer older films to be honest so im a bit biast. allthought i only watched it because my mate said its the best film hes ever seen...

[rovex]

For me movies have to offer something above and beyond TV. Most of the best movies could have been made for TV. Avatar couldn't, that why its important we have movies like this.

I think it gets better the more times you see it. You switch off at the cheesier parts and can then just enjoy the visuals, especially the battle scene at the end, which is pretty awesome.
