Avatar wows critics at its London opening today.

I still think it will suck but let's wait and see.

For Cameron's sake it better not suck or this will be his Waterworld. I doubt the studios are going to make much of a profit off it considering the 500 million they sunk into it.

 

[OverVolt]

It costs 500million? hahaha lol.

 

[Mrvile]

Eh, probably gonna see it coz skeptical. I'm sure it'll at least be very pretty to look at.

Ummm....try a little lower... maybe half... maybe less than half... say $237 million.

You apparently never saw Galaxy of Terror.

Awesome movie.

 

[lifeobry]

looks like garbage. They replaced a plot with fancy special effects. trash for douchebags.

Right, that's why all the crtics like it. Because they are impressed by whiz-bang special effects.

Sadly this would actually legitimately explain the popularity of abominations such as Transformers 1 and 2.

 

[StrangerGuy]

With a budget that huge...It gotta be good amirite?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

My brother operates a theater... I intend to be at the after-hours, employees-only, pre-screening the day before it opens. Even if I have to kill someone for him.

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Can't wait to see this at Cinetopia.

I was excited for Transformers 2, I wanted to see robots hit each other in glorious HD... until the critics destroyed it. 19% at RT. No matter how excited I am for a movie, if it gets universally panned I'm not watching at a theater.

But Avatar is 100% so far (with nods from Variety and Hollywood Reporter), so I am doing yes cartwheels over here.

 

[0roo0roo]

eh so far early reviews are positive.

mainly it should do well so he can finish battle angel

You are right that the studios are only in for around 250 however much more has been invested by Cameron himself and many others.

Huh interesting well we'll see soon what kind of profit it makes. I still say it looks like it stinks

 

[beat mania]

This is supposed the movie that will revolutionize 3D in movies. I dunno about that, but I'm sure it will look pretty damn awesome.

Will they have something for people who need glasses to see?

You just put them on top of glasses. I've gone to see many 3-D movies recently and they work fine.

 

[Zebo]

CGI looks cartoony and choopy, story looks contrived and unoriginal - yeah we get it colonization is a bad thing. Oh and don't forget British are weird like Japanese without the sex, may not play well here.

 

[Glitchny]

BAH Popular looking movie with CG it will be terrible
cry cry whine
No plot too much FX
/atot

Did I do it right?

 

[Riceninja]

unless you buy custom fancy glasses http://www.cinematical.com/2009/09/18/whos-ready-to-buy-designer-3d-glasses/ the regular ones are flat and fit over most glasses.
". "Lewis responded that designer Real D glasses, including Gucci designs, will be available "in certain outlets" before "Avatar" opens in December. Prescription glasses are on the way some time later."

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed by the trailers myself, but I have a feeling it will be the most promising movie I can convince my friends to go to next weekend though I am more interested in Bodyguards & Assassins.

 

[OverVolt]

Wait, it's actually IN 3d?

Who sinks that kind of money into a 3D film? That just registered with me.

King Kamehameha pose > Yes Cartwheel. Also, the band Yes > Yes Cartwheel.

Also, I'm guessing the 3d glasses aren't those shitty red lens blue lens things?
