Default Anyone seen AVATAR?

I saw it last night. I thought it was great. Special effects were the best I've ever seen, very unique story, pretty long movie but it flew by. I might even try and catch the 3D version because of all the special effects it will probable be unbelievable.

I saw it on the Imax 3d screen.

Special effects were awesome, and I was surprised that the story actually held together. Good movie!

I saw it with my girl on saturday in 3D we were both amazed with the special effects an the way it looked in 3D. We hit up alot of the movies they release in 3D an this one was the best by far.

I saw it in 3d IMAX with a chick the second night it was out, bought the last tickets online. I knew nothing about it before seeing the whole movie. The way it started out, I thought she was going to dislike it, but even she absolutely loved it. I thought it was very good. The 3d is second to none. The visuals make a new world. A lot of the main story reminded me of Dances with Wolves, but on another planet. Anyone else see that similarity?
