Are you ready.....I understand the "Avatar Blues". It depressed me to leave that world of beauty. I think Cameron's movie is doing what he wants it do--instill a deep impact to the viewer about "Mother Nature".

I believe all life should be treated with the same respect. I drives Darlene crazy cause I won't even kill a bug -- unless there is no chose. I'll pick them up and take the little thing outside and release it.

Humans give me more of a dilemma. Some are just hard to not damage at times.

Finally saw this on PPV. Even in HD on my nice tv, I can see where this would have been awesome on the big screen. Story was nice and touching if completely predictable. Visuals were spectacular (though not fully natural yet, still a video game look to me . . . a very very good video game look). Music was lacking in my opinion, just wall paper really.

Beth and I just watched it a few days ago. Great special effects and good story line and I agree that the music was lacking.

True, but it's still the coolest looking movie I've ever seen. The scene in the forest at night on Blu-Ray =

I felt way more of a "Last Samurai" vibe.

Visually it's stunning. But not in a natural way for me, for the most part. I thought the idea was that it'd impress as being a fully synthetic, but somehow realistic world. Still looked a video game to me (an exceptionally well made video game). This is the problem with computer generated stuff. They remain too perfect and idealized to forms. Nature is filled with extraordinarily high order complexity and imperfection.

However, from a realistic standpoint, the most impressive scene to me is when the Navi chick was holding the human dude at the end. There was definitely a moment of suspended disbelief there.
