She asks if I feel different now after having sex for the first time and I told her "Totally. I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me." or something along those lines.

Guess what, I watched it the first time in 1080p. And a second time.It looks like CG. Some of the scenery is well done, but the aliens look goofy.The ending can be seen from a mile away... in the teaser.Oh, Cameron.
leonardo dies.
This looks awful. If you had told me it was from a crappy Dreamworks animation studio I would have believed you. If you told me it was from James Cameron and he's been working on it for a decade, I would have said "Haha good joke."
one of the four ninja turtles. They show up about halfway in to the picture.

This looks like Dances with Wolves in space.yep. There's really nothing about this movie that seems appealing aside from Cameron's name being attached. It's an epic scifi movie. That alone is enough to get my attention.

All the hyperbole on both sides, those that say it'll be the most amazing thing ever and the people that now believe it's the worst thing ever made, are absolutely hilarious. Get a grip on reality, people!

Get a grip on reality, people!Nobody is saying this.... You're just being defensive of something you shouldn't have any attachment to. Unless you're a big Azurik fan.

Waterworld 2.

Welp that was terrible.
District 9's bargain bin CG > AVATAR's $200M CG
I really hope the humans win in the end.

There's a difference between people calling it disappointing and not very good and saying it's the worst thing ever.Don't get all butthurt because it doesn't look very good.
Quote from: Green Shinobi on August 20, 2009, 03:34:26 PMI really hope the humans win in the end. I've got to imagine some sort of event (perhaps tragic) will make them all realize that they must live together peacefully.
why spend so much on alien CGI if their design is so humanoid? i am disappoint.
Why is it a desirable property for a CG film not to look like CG, anyway? Do we rate other things based on how much they don't appear to be what they in fact are?

Do we rate other things based on how much they don't appear to be what they in fact are?Special effects have often been judged by how convincing they are.And to be fair, this film was hyped as the Second Coming of CG. It was supposed to be a revolutionary marvel that could not have ever been done before.....so for it to look like the sort of CG jerkfest that Georgue Lucas has been doing for a decade is something of a letdown.
People need to watch the 1080p trailer on Apple. 1:30 in, the close up of the female na'vi is amazing.(Image removed from quote.)

Looks pretty amazing. Hope it makes 2 billion dollars.

That's not just cg obviously but yea, it destroys Avatar's simple cg. I can't imagine Cameron honestly thinks he has one upped Jones or Gollum
showed my parents the trailer:Dad: kind of shrugged and walked away, says "looks interesting"Mom: says not something she would want to see and it "looks very odd, kind of like Jumanji"Avatar Fail.

Is there any mo-cap in Avatar?

The mere fact you thought any of Davy Jones wasn't CG showed how fucking untouchable ILM is when it comes to this stuff and how poorly most other effects houses compare.This is what Bill Nighy looked like on set:(Image removed from quote.)Simply amazing stuff then.
