Seen Avatar on Wednesday night-thought it was brilliant and had some great action sequences-i'd imagine it would be unbelievable in 3d!

Ive heard reports that the imax 3D viewing of this is just immense.

Im not sold on the movie, but I think ill have to watch it.

Just rewatched body of lies yesterday - cracking movie.

Watched Pans Labyrinth the other night, quite dark, but thoroughly engrossing, the character of the "Captain" is one of the most distasteful movie characters I've seen portrayed in a long time! Well worth a watch (if you can handle subtitles).


yes, agreed a very good show. was very dark.


subtitles are grand. any fool who doesn't watch films cause of subtitles is missing out
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

A women on the wireless yesterday said she'd watched it in both 2D and 3D and preferred 2D. Says the screen loses a lot (30-50%) of it's brightness in 3D, which is a particular problem for a movie like Avatar which relies on it's visuals so much.

I saw Avatar today. Too long in my opinion, it is a fine film but I had to take 40 winks during it, which is a sign that the movie didn't really work for me. I would say 7 out of 10 for being impressive in some ways. I do not get this 3D thing, it really isn't necessasy and won't add to movies in any way.

Body of Lies got mentioned again a few posts back and I would recomend it highly for people who haven't seen it, very enjoyable.

thought it was very good... however i wish i had a better knowledge of nixon but it is on all week on sky premiere, so i will do some reading and watch it again...

thought frank capella was excellent as Nixon...

and i wouldn't be surprised if Michael sheen wins an Oscar soon.. as long as he steers clear of big Hollywood budget films.... (though he is signed up for the next 2 twilight films)

Seen Avatar yday, thought it was fantastic. Please ignore other people and see it for yourself. See it 3d, that bit about brightness is rubbish. 3D makes you feel a part of pandora. 3 of us went to see it, none of us spoke for 160mins. Just in awe. The story the acting and special effects were immense. Some bits took my breath away. I went in with high expectations and wasnt disappointed. 10/10. Honestly didnt think a minute was wasted, one of the guys said he looked at his watch and was disappointed only 30mins was left.

Well, its not really rubbish. Its a problem that studios have openly recognised and are working on remedying. Some cinemas have newer, improved projectors than others, which minimizes the effects. Glad you enjoyed it anyway :)

Went to see Avatar last night in 3D - thought the movie was good. Worth watching, if a little patched together from other movies - Theres a bit of starwars, and brave heart in there - all be it with brighter colours.
