Who's going to see Avatar?
The trailers have been absolutely terrible, the hype seems to firmly remain within the blogosphere and according to anonymous first reports the 3D effects are apparently vomit-enducing. It is also, if you haven't already heard, THE MOST EXPENSIVE FILM EVER MADE. I am under the impression that it will flop dramatically and become one of the greatest failures in box office history, possibly sending James Cameron into exile. Possibly. However, I'll still be going to see it out of curiousity.
Whose actually going to see it then on the MB board then?

I'm going to see it eventually. Looks good and it's james cameron ffs. Let's face it, Aliens, Terminator 2, Rambo: First Blood Part II, the guy knows how to entertain.

Anyhow, I'm ambivalent. On the one hand it's a blockbuster, special effects extravaganza and we don't really get too many of those so it's definitely an incentive to go see it at the theater. On the other hand, it looks like an incredibly stupid video game adaptation. So, I'll probably go see it but expect the worst.

Yeah, I think it looks fairly unappealing to the eye. Not a fan of such a huge use of CGI. Dunno, mate is keen as hell on it, might see it, might not. Don't think it will be much chop unfortunately.

Where did you hear about the vomit-inducing effects of the 3D experience? I don't even understand how that's possible. All you're doing is viewing something in 3 dimensions rather than 2. I happen to really like the look of the movie. Cameron is my favourite director and is one of the very few directors that has always had critical and enormous box office success with his movies, save for maybe The Abyss. |

It looks like it's going to be alot of fun. Great effects (obviously) and a seeminly decent story line. Looks more sci-fi-ish than it did when the first teaser trailer came out. I'm hoping it'll turn out to be as awesome as the hype is making it out to be.

Actually, whose is possessive pronoun so that is incorrect, it would be who's (a contraction of who is) or who is which is still correct.
