Yeah…Siggy had the best lines in this one, usually involving profanity.
Tsu’Tey: You mated with this woman?!
Grace: :wtf: Oh, shit.
And she called the general Ranger Rick. That made me chuckle. A lot of people won’t even know about that reference.
Hah. I was going to bring this up. Her name is Jenette Goldstein and i would like to think that she got a tan for the role rather than painted brown. 
That still doesn’t diminish her performance as Sci-Fi’s biggest female bad ass.
She also played John Conner’s foster mother in Terminator 2.
Best special effects in years.
Plot and characters and whatnot were alright but Cameron made them work.
Humans should have won.
Robot suits were dope, any follow ups if there will be any need more robots, even bigger robots would be even more dope.
EDIT: Speaking of Robots, don’t fuck with robots or they will come after you. http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html
EDIT: More props to humans because RDA = RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON = MACGYVER.
Stupid blue freaks.
EDIT: Michelle Rodriguez once again reprises her role as the MANLIEST character in a movie.
not to mention if you go to Pandora, you don’t get back to earth for minimum 18 years… 6 years travel each way, 6 years on Pandora. I don’t see a normal, well adjusted person making that trip…
i was wondering, avatar still making good money. so i just want to throw it out there. how many times did ya watch this? me is 2.
3 times.
I just saw it the first time yesterday. I’m going to try and see it at least one or two more times. I loved it for reasons that have been said a bunch of times in this thread already.
IMax 3D is great. I was very nervous going in since I had to wear my glasses but the 3D Imax glasses were nice and clear (not dark at all) and they fit in front of my glasses without any problem.
I am thankful that there is finally a 3D movie instead of just a 2D movie with 3D special effects.
i might watch it again before its gone from imax. iunno. should i? flip coin
She was also somewhere in Titanic playing a poor old mother (I only watched that longass movie once)
5 times :lol:
Like Booker T?
Also, am I losing my mind, or
at the very end of the movie
Spoiler
When the humans were forced off the base/planet, they were outdoors but not wearing masks?
You’re losing your mind.
whats up with that
[details=Spoiler] So when Sully and Bluetits got down to business… how did Sully know what to do? Are we just to assume its the same process?
The way he took control of the red flying omg its one of those things… whats up with that too? Hey ive got an idea none of the blue people have ever ever ever who have lived here their entires lives has thought of, ill go above it - then to insult more, its an offscreen capture?
People who can transfer peoples entire being from one physical body to another cant help heal a bullet wound? I mean okay, ill take for granted that the atmosphere affected the wound somehow, but still
So they destroyed the tree for the purpose of getting awesometanium, but… there wasn’t much effort put towards getting it after they cut down the tree, even though Sully had time enough to fly to alllll the other clans and get them together, and the humans only noticing this gathering fairly late into that process
Still like the movie though![/details]
some of my thoughts on why:
[details=Spoiler]
-
she WAS teaching him everything about their people and their culture. It’s not unreasonable he find out how to get busy.
-
their people feared the epic mount so i can only assume their main thoughts about it were “if you see it run” much like Jake’s first encounter with it. of course this is just speculation but with regards to it being off screen; we’ve already seen him struggle with his first flier, do we really need to see the same thing again?
-
you expect them to be able to repair a wound they have no experience repairing on a species they have no medical experience treating?
-
have you ever seen construction projects on earth move any quicker than a snail’s pace? i would assume that the MASSIVE excavating equipment we saw in the beginning takes a while to move. also to me it seemed like Jake rallied the other tribes pretty quickly. IIRC they were telling Mr. Military that their numbers had been growing substantially every day and were starting to get worried about a counter attack. [/details]
1: I’m not sure it’s the same as for earth mammals.
giggity
Spoiler
Remember when Jake was looking at his link, and Grace told him “Stop playing with that or you’ll go blind.”?
No need for spoilers on navi physiology.
They still have sex like us humans but they can have a deeper and even more erotic connection when they use their links. Read it in the book.
red flying thing
Spoiler
Well, remember that with the smaller blue flying things, it’s not like just ANY person will do. Like Tsutey said, if it’s the one for you, it’ll try to kill you basically. In other words, other Na’vi probably HAVE tried aside from those 5 in history, but all the rest failed to be able to connect.
That’s how I see it anyway
How Jake caught the dragon, when I watched the movie the second time I thought it was bullshit. Jake makes it out to be so simple it actually found it quite disrespectful towards the Na’vi, it would have been much better (though slightly clichd) if he referred to a past war scenario that required the same tactic. Its only logical that Jake become advisor because of his military knowledge but for some reason Cameron relegates Tsu’tey to a simple extra, making Jake chief. This section of the movie definately felt too rushed.
Tsu’tey
[details=Spoiler]When Tsu’tey dies, I immediately thought back to the Colonels big speech at the begining of the movie, where he tells everyone that the Na’vi bones are made from naturally occuring fibreglass and extremely hard to kill. Tsu’tey’s death didn’t do him justice, he takes apart 4 or 5 mercs swinging his bow then gets pwned by this one merc that some how dodges pointblank range. I was expecting him to do die more heroically or not die at all.
So Jake despite only being on the planet for 6 months manages to become the badest Na’vi ever seen since Neytiri’s great great granfather.
[/details]
Regarding Na’vi sex, whats the point of them wearing thongs/skirts if the sexual organ is within their hair???
EDIT: missed FurryCurry’s post
Yeah the Navi got picked off a lot easier than I expected. When I saw a trailer that showed Jake blocking a head-on strike from the AMP, I was like holy shit, fighting a Navi in an AMP is gonna be like Ripley in that construction suit thing against the queen alien… Avatar’s final battle is gonna be freakin epic. But a couple of bullets was enough to take the Navi out. Damn, I really wanted to like this movie but ehh.
