So, who's seen it?
Watched it last night, and now I can't wait to go see it in IMAX 3D....so ridiculously good.

Seriously good movie. I liked the 3D even more.

I hate everyone who saw or is going to see Avatar at IMAX 3D.

But that's another sory.

Previews looked pretty good but I haven't made it out to see it yet. Maybe I'll drag my girlfriend with me tomorrow night.

There is plenty wrong with the movie, but it is a damn fine afternoons entertainment.

Turn of brain, sit back, chew popcorn, enjoy.

Don't try think too hard about it.

Because it simply wasn't possible for things to look that convincing in CGI previously. A lot of the ground breaking stuff has to do with HOW it was made as well.

Also yeah, I was really disapointed to see Michelle Rodrigues, I can't stand her.

Slacker, in Transformers they CGI'd a couple of cars they fall apart.

In Avatar they CGI'd a whole world.

The problem I had with it is the CGI still looked cartoony.

Hysteria, Maybe. I just don't get why people dis a movie. It's mind candy people. It isn't going to change the world, but it might fill your afternoon.

Lol. You make it sound so exhilarating.

As long as the story isn't too lame and the effects are good that's enough to make it worthwhile for me. I pretty much stopped expecting movies not to suck a long time ago so anything that's halfway decent is a pleasant surprise for me.

Finally someone with the same mindset. The trailers for it on TV make me not want to see it at all.

It's worth seeing. I hate to sound like everyone else, but its an easy recommendation for me. Just like I always suggest In Bruges when someone asks for a movie, I can easily suggest this. Spend the $10
