James Cameron originally attempted to get this film made in 1999 as his immediate follow-up to Titanic (1997). However, at the time, the special effects he wanted for the movie ran the proposed budget up to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was subsequently shelved for almost ten years.

I almost pissed myself during this film cuz i did not want to go out the lounge. But it was so long i just couldnt help it anymore.

It was my first time seeing in 3d. The googles were better than the usual stuff. Looked just like normal ones...just very ugly. Actually they didnt change my view of the real world...and ive had the red-blue ones before just as test n i know they kinda weird everything out. So obviously the movie looked great. There wasnt that much stuff popping out of the screen but ye you can see n sense everything alot better. 3D is the way to go thats for sure. I still wanna check the Imax cinema . . . largest in the world . . . but god damn tickets sell so fast. Maybe ill watch Sherlock Holmes there. If im lucky.
So Avatar . . . . where do i start . . . .alot of ppl are pissign on the movie cuz the story sucked o.O
NOw hold on a minute you ignorant arseholes. The story is cliche true enough. But god damn it there aint pretty much anything left to be invented anymore. From now on its just telling a cliche story very good in order to please the audience. Now this story we figured it out in the trailers. . . . but its the way its told that makes it so great. And its been told with pictures. its for the eyes not for ur ears. Maybe thats what people fail to see. But i honestly dont think there that many ppl who did not like Avatar. For me this was an amazing adventure. I felt. . . . like im inside the Pandora world. So real . . .. so detailed. . . .it was the best alien-sci-fi-fantasy world i have ever seen. Its like being on a holiday in an exotic country. Your eyes just cant get enough of it all. And the movie is long too. I mean RLY LONG. Like Lord of The Rings Long. But you dont feel it. time flies when you watch AVATAR. Its about 2h n 48mins or something. ....n for most of the time i wanted to go n take a piss but i was so sucked in with Pandora i forced myself to stay n watch. To be honest , come to think of it the major fights happened in the end of the movie. And before that it was all about exploring Pandora and learning about the Na`vi. And they say the movie sucks? If it sucked half the ppl would fall asleep for 2 hours witheout action.
The pandora universe is so well crafter. A real masterpiece. the "Bond" that goes around. . . . its just amazing. I rly loved the bond trial with the flying mounts. speaking of them i wish Blizzard would put something as cool as those dragon butterfly looking mounts cuz they were just AWESOME. the creatures in general were awesome.
And the scenery . . . MY GOD. . . . there goes hundreds of hours of CGI work just on the background. Altho at time i believe the actors were the background. I think a strong part of the message this movie sents is about us and the planet. And how we should nurture it and bond with Earth instead of slowly destroying it. Its a good msg considering the recent climate changes that we experiance.
The bad guys in the movie. . . .oh well the "evil" corporation thing is old as popcorn but we do need a reason to blow things up n do some good ol epic fights ala Bravehearth.
There were some things that are bugging me at the moment. . . .the military had some weird ass tech which kinda made it convenient for the Na`vi since they got the opportunity to kill the soldiers with arrows alone. But anyway its a small thing and i certainly didnt think about it during the movie.
It was great fun too. Plenty of jokes n cool moments to enjoy. But i think the focus of the movie was the path that Jake took in order to learn about the forest and the ways of the Na`vi. And it is because of this that i think some ppl fail to see the point of the movie. They were just expecting something different and since they didnt get it, they hate the movie o.O
And avatar will be remembered. I dont know if it will break the 1.8bil record that Titanic set. But this is a movie that everybody will want and need to see at some point. And im god damn sure im buying dvd/blue-ray so i can enjoy it again at home.
Its the end of the year and i honestly cant think of a better movie to finish it with xD
10/10
p.p: I looked and looked but i couldnt google out any good pictures. Its like noone took a snapshot of Pandora or any really good moments of this movie. its rly weird :O
p.p2: Sasuke vs Danzo. Danzo`s eyes are certainly a gross sight. But i am curious exactly what jutsu he is using. Im sure the closing of the eyes is not what it looks like. There must be something else. And why the hell isnt Madara doing anything. he is a rly wacko villain.
p.p3: One Piece turned the tables again. Luffy is back on his feet and just brought down a whole lot of marines and pirates with his Major Haki Battle shout! I wonder tho. . . . when will Whitebeard finally die. Stubborn old bastard :O
