I saw it again in 3D with my nephew (age 11). I was mildly entertained, it is captivating the level of sophistication in the 3D CGI, but the movie seemed to plod along even more than the first time.

At the end of the movie one of his comments that it did not seem that the movie had much 3D since things did not come out of the screen very often like the other movies he has seen in 3D.

I beg to differ after reading it as its nothing more than an attempt at riling up one political party or another and I will leave it at that.

Watched it and enjoyed it very much, the quality of the CGI blows away other recent movies and I found the characters facial expressions to be pretty much spot on realistic. Yes the plot was a predictable one and that bothered me but the avatar concept was a nice twist and the concept of transference of the humanoid soul and personality through the tree of souls was almost as intriguing as the bonding through the single appendages of humanoids and many other life forms.

I don't like CGI ,at least the movies in the past with CGI. But this movie changed my mind. We saw it a couple of days ago in 3-D and it was excellent. I started to forget that these Blue monkey people weren't real and I really got into the story. I also didn't feel like I had a headache after watching it , like I do most 3-D movies. Cameron had to develop or create the 3-D cameras to make this movies. I really liked it and the story was good as well. My 9 year old son and nephew both loved it.

Someone I knew say it and he said he almost fell asleep since it was moving along so slow in the beginning.

Going Tuesday afternoon hopefully at an IMAX 3D screen behind the MGM Grand...

I went to see this in 3D with my golf/Movie/Sci-Fi buddy. One of the complaints I have with the current Real-3D system is the low frame rate between left and right images. I'm not sure if the theater uses DLP projectors or not, but it appears to have the same shortcoming as system used by IMAX. Any fast-paced action "shears" the images and I feel the 3D effect rips apart.

After a while I stopped analyzing the technique and allowed myself to be pulled into the beauty of Pandora. And while the story was rather formula, I think this movie will change the way movies are made from now on. To be able to maneuver a physical camera around the set that shows the virtual world and actors as they will appear in the movie allows the director to explore new shots.

Spoiler:

yeah, but the problem with that idea was the people on earth didn't know they where trying to start a war. I'm pretty sure once they get back to earth the story will get revealed about what happened the whole forceful takeover idea will die.
