Great story, incredible visuals... definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen.  Definitely going to see that many, many times

I love people who come into threads about movies after they are released... then complain about spoilers.

Especially in a thread like this, that even clearly states its about people who have seen it.
A thread about a movie for people who have seen it... What did you expect to be discussed?

Only 13 year olds care about fucking CGI. "Special Effects" haven't been special since the 90's. So tell me, is the actual movie any good?
Believe it or not but most people do care about visuals. Im not talking about explosions are space ships and giant robots. Scenes in the movie are just artistically beaufitull. They are not amazing because they are in CGI, they are amazing because they are amazing. Scenes of nature could compete against the best National Geographic photos

All my friends that watched it, loved it and were amazed by it. And they are all in 25-30 age group. Every part of the movie is good. Story, sound, acting, cinematography. As I said well worth the money so it would be best that you judge it for yourself.

I think it's the 'cool' thing to hate on film which are genuinely an amazing work of art. Some of the critics' comments I've read are ridiculous....it's ok to like a hyped up, popular film people..!

I honestly thing is just elitist bashing of anything not european/artsy/twilightly...

I just got back from watching it and its truly awesome. Visually its better than any movie I have ever seen, and I have been an avid movies fan for 20 years - first 7 it was just cartoons

The 3d is amazingly done and tbh I cant wait for more movies done like Avatar. Its not just things flying "towards" you to scare you. Even the simple dialogue scenes are imersive due to depth of field. And forest scenes are
 
The real actors did a good job and to me the CGI characters were very good as well. They are so real that you forget they are not. They move very realistically and their facial expressions successfully convey an array of emotions.

Even though it is kind of predictable, the story is great. The whole idea at the core of the story is quite interesting. I wont go in to details but I will just say that much more time was allocated to story telling than I expected.

Overall 9/10 and worth every penny (cent).
Fair enough. I plan on seeing it - I was just stating what I'd heard from a couple of friends.

So I'm going to go see it in 3D today. How's the action scenes? The story line? Any sexy times?

So many unanswered questions from watching the trailers and exclusive scenes.

Just watch the movie. I doubt you will really find a part of the movie that will disappoint you.

There are very few movies I buy to own because either they are good or for the special effects. I would be buy Avatar on Blu-Ray just for the special effects. The movie storyline is mediocre and probably not enough to watch this movie over and over again....maybe once in a blue moon. IMO - the movie (story line) is like a run-of-the-mill Disney movie (story line).

Great movie, I'm definitely going to see it again. 9.7/10

D9 was better, though, imo.

District 9 was very good. I think District 9 was as good as it was BECAUSE of the story. Avatar has a good story, predictable in many ways, but it doesn't take away from the movie itself. Again, very enjoyable.

Hooooooooooooly shit.

Just saw it (in IMAX, like I said) and it is quite easily THE BEST movie of 2009. I didn't think anything would beat Watchmen or Inglourious Basterds but goddamn this just takes the cake and shoves it down it's throat. Everything about it was just amazing. Amazing story, breathtaking visuals, incredible character development, not a dull moment in the whole damn movie. I had my doubts about it when I first saw the preview but holy shit James Cameron has quite possibly pulled off one of his best.

I think it's even more amazing that people thought it was just as incredible as I did seeing it normally. At this point I can't imagine seeing it non-IMAX/3D.

10/10, wholeheartedly.
