Here are the details.

This is a trailer.

The critical reception so far has been generously positive.

Roger Ebert wrote:
Watching "Avatar," I felt sort of the same as when I saw "Star Wars" in 1977. That was another movie I walked into with uncertain expectations. James Cameron's film has been the subject of relentlessly dubious advance buzz, just as his "Titanic" was. Once again, he has silenced the doubters by simply delivering an extraordinary film. There is still at least one man in Hollywood who knows how to spend $250 million, or was it $300 million, wisely.


Listen to this man! He even mentions Star Wars in reference to Avatar.

As for me, I'd see this just because it's directed by James Cameron, the genius behind the sci-fi/slasher epic Terminator 2.

Your thoughts?

I havn't checked out the links, but nothing has sold me.

I still don't even know why this movie has so much hype. I might see it, but only if I have nothing else to do. I have a greater chance of bringing my younger siblings along as an excuse to see Princess and the Frog rather than this.

But, I'll give it some time. Who knows? This could actually be quite good.

Oh, and I never knew that the guy who directed T2 did Titanic. Havn't seen either all the way through, but hey. Something new to learn.

I'll definitely watch it, but just because I would probably feel like I've missed something if I don't. I am not particularly interested in it, but it looks quite fine, so I'll give it a shot. I don't have any expectations, so I can't be disappointed.

This is what I was wondering too. The logos look exactly the same.

I'm not exactly hyped about this movie, mainly because the blue people are really creepy to look at.

I had no idea that James Cameron did Terminator 2 though, maybe I will wait until a few years later when it's on TV or something...

Probably because the movie has absolutly nothing to do with The Last Airbender.

Have you considered the fact that Avatar and The Last Airbender are completely fucking different in... everything?

Oh, I just learned it's not playing anywhere in my county.

WTF does what they are about have anything to do with suing each other? Biohazard had to change its name because of some band. Dragon Quest had to change it name before DQ7 because of something else called Dragon Quest.

Each one has no relations to each other and yet this movie is using the same name.

Looks like I boarded the Skeptic Express a bit early. I was sure the theaters in my area would post midnight showings much earlier in the week but it seems I was wrong.

EDIT: But, it seems I still won't be able to see it until tomorrow.

The problem isn't the use of the name Avatar, the problem is that they use the exact same font as The Last Airbender. I don't really care, I just think it's funny. And probably shows that someone doesn't think things through very far.

I think it looks really good. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to see it in theaters. I don't have the money to go to the theater right now.

looks okay, i guess...

I must admit the special effects are amazing, it looks like these 'avatars' could really exsist.

Might go see it @ the weekend with a few mates if theres nothing better to do...

Really? Their blue skin looks very inorganic to me... Too smooth to be true. Personally I think Gollum's skin looked a bit more realistic.

They obviously look enough alike for a lot of people to make the connection. Seriously, we're not trying to insult the show. You don't need to get so offended.

Well, if there IS any connection, then it's probably just a coincidence, considering James Cameron originally thought up the idea for this movie in like 1994. This movie and the one about the show were both in dispute over the title, and when you think about this logically($300million movie directed by James Cameron vs. a movie about a kid's cartoon show directed by M. Night Shyamalan), then I'm sure you'd understand why the other movie had to change it to "The Last Airbender".

But the plot ruins the whole experience.

Your friend is kind of right. I wouldn't recommend this to people with a dislike for strong cheese.

I thought the plot was really good, it had a lot of underlying themes to it, like how corrupt mankind's becoming. And it also reminded me of when the Europeans first came to North America, as well. The visual effects were spectacular, the world looks amazing, and the beasts in the film were indulging. It was an awesome movie.

The plot is what makes it look interesting to me. I care way more about good storytelling than good special effects. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't judge, but I sure hope the plot is good.

Because that kind of plot has never been used a million times before amirite?

Haven't seen it yet, but from what I've seen from the trailer, it looks like a big-budget version of Disney's Pocahontas or Dances With Wolves in space.
I'll probably check it out in IMAX for the effects.

Here's the question I would like to ask of all who have seen it:

Is it, or is it not, a half-billion dollar reimagining of FernGully.
