I actually thought Avatar was better than I expected. I heard a lot of hype about it and usually when that happens I get disappointed. My cousin's review was it was a pretty good movie but runs a little long.

So after watching it I thought that it was a well done movie even with the expected plot. The colors really blew me away. I thought that visually, with the colors and CG, it was really in a class of its own.

I enjoyed it as a film, but struggled wth 3D to really enjoy the effects. Nice to see some tecnological advances in the industry though, but i would bet that 2D will prevail as 3D will give up as a gimmick...

Officially by China's history, I am China's Emperor and head of state in exile. I went to the movies and saw Avatar. I thought that it was a great movie. For me it was very touching. I liked the theme of good conquering evil and the good guys winning and the bad guys losing. I really do hope that life is this way.

I liked it a lot. I saw it twice in fact. The visuals blew my mind and I think that it really did redefine what was possible for movies to do in terms of immersion. I did pick up on the so called, "racist," elements though that is the risk that you have to take every time you have an intersection of two racial or ethnic groups in fiction. I'm sure there was no malice in it, it's just that people have had their consciousness raised so now we do consider these things in a lot more depth. Personally, I think the, "racist," thing was overblown since I think that in the end, Jake was just as Na'vi as the Na'vi were. He had truly integrated the culture and values of the Na'vi into himself so he wasn't just human posing as a Na'vi but an actual Na'vi which eliminates the racist undertones completely. If anything, it shows how culture is learned and that people aren't so different from each other after all. As Bruce Lee said, "Under the sky, we're all one family."

Meeeeee!

I'm really interested in the technology, but the plot is just...I got @douglaskev's link's racist overtones from the trailer, and then when I read the rest on Wikipedia.... I'd rather wait for something with a sense of humor and no deus ex machina if I'm going to be dropping $15 on IMAX tickets.

Loved the 3D but best of all it had a really good story and acting. Rare to find all 3 in one blockbuster movie. I rarely go to the movies but this one was worth it.

It was nice to be reminded of my childhood with such a nice re-make of pocahontas.

I saw it. While the plot wasn't everything, it was cinematographic brilliance.

UP! Was ok but it had quite a few sad moments.

Here a movie is $12, $7 on Tuesdays and 3D has a $3 charge for glasses so its not bad.

My kids loved it and so did I, great special effects,

We saw the film 'UP' at the cinema, now that was funny.

I agreed with crookedcrochet, the story was a little dull. I also found the movie 1h too long... But maybe it was because I had a very bad seat!

Yeah i saw it, it was alright, i wish 3-D films didnt cost so much to see.

I've got a post on 3-D films if you're that way inclined

I enjoyed the visuals greatly (saw it in 3D), but thought the storyline was predictable and a bit dull. While I wouldn't say 'racist' exactly it has all been done before, and I think adding a surprising twist or two in the plot would have made it worthy of all the special effects.

I saw it, but I don't think it was worth all the hype. :p It was an awesome movie, but not super-fantastic.

it was really great visually and i enjoyed it.
then a lot of folks started talking about racist overtones in it, and it made me reconsider the film.

heres a link to a discussion on the topic ( i dont think the article is necessarily as good as the discussion that follows in the comments)
