If this was tropico 3 I would arrange an "accident" for all those people
damn, it made about 750 million so far. It will go over a billion for sure. Than DVD sales....... OMG.
Fair enough.... Avatar is much more sensasionalist I guess, compared to District 9, which is supposed to be more gritty and realistic.
I liked the way they portrayed two opposing sides, and personally I saw more similarities than differences between the humans and the aliens (although the differences were much more obvious). The resource we were mining could have been essential for our survival, not just for mere profit, which means both sides were fighting for survival. The technology vs. nature theme also got me thinking, the undisturbed nature on Pandora had evolved to a point where the planet itself resembled a network of bio-technology, much more advanced than anything the humans had. I thought that alone is what made the movie unique.
I agree though, the story could have had more twists and mindfucks. They introduced us to themes and ideas but did not go in depth. To me the way it is actually executed (more of an adventure/fantasy than sci-fi) is where it makes up for it. Hopefully, if they make a sequel, the story will be deeper.

I agree with you this first movie is probaly scratching the surface for (hopefully) a more in-depth sequel. The planet's name Pandora and the female entity, that the Nu Vi keeps referring to, who is at the center of the planet's neuro hub. I guess the humans plan to open Pandora's Box.Spearhead wrote:

i just got back. i liked it. movie of the year? no, but i simply liked it.
Saw it in IMAX 3D. Damn epic if you ask me. 10/10, my favorite movie of '09.
If you think the main theme of the movie is environmental, you need to watch it again, awake.loubot wrote:

I can summarize the parallelism between "Avatar" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" together in one paragraph:
The good guy is the odd man out in the beginning of the film; he is different from the rest of general populous. Everyone initially discredits him before he can proves his merits. Some where during the movie he proves himself and finds a niche were he can fit in. Everyone is fond of the good guy at this point. While he is fitting in with the in-crowd, he falls in love. The woman's Va-jay, jay makes him rethink what is best. The good guy changes his mind and does the "right thing" which contradicts the bad guy's motive or agenda. The good guy and the bad guy fight...the good guys states this is wrong and the bad guy states judas! The rest is history.
My point is: The story line could of been better and more unique. I do like the movie but not enough as much as you guys.
Your summary only pertains to the story with the natives, completely neglecting the actions of the humans.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
that marine guy gets to fucking fly a red fucking dragon that was the coolest shit ever
I donno, I didn't like the whole "He tamed the dragon, obey him" part.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
he had a fucking red dragon, who gives a fuck that was the best part of the movie when he showed up at that one place and was like hey bitch CHECK OUT MY WHIP!!! CHEAAA
I'm going to see it in 3D tomorrow at the imax
what a fucking epic theater
eh, British and them overdoing shit.
Good enough I guess.
The first 2 weeks box office gross from this fucker are nearly carbon copies of each other from each day, looks a fuck lot like titanic's right now. My guess is they made another 50 million worldwide today, only 15 million domestic known so far. Fastest to 1 billion eh?

We don't even have IMAX here I think But I did see it in digital 3D with THX or some shit.
Was quite epic. Easily my fav. 2009 movie.

Humanity spent the last fuckall 10,000 years to get away from nature and create buildings, why the fuck do you want to go back to nature?bakinacake wrote:

So I guess this film's 300M investment was worth it?

No, I don't need an attitude adjustment. You just need to fuck off.
