    Well Rich, seems mighty disgruntled about Avatar. I think its only real appeal was the young kiddies. But wasn’t we young kiddies once? Maybe not as disgruntled as we our today with life's general issues in society.

    I was disappointed with the credits running time that seemed so short when compared to “Alien VS Predator” that run for almost 15 minutes. “Avatar” was in around 6 minutes. I can’t be asked to run the DVD to check its rough guess.

    One thing is clear "Avatar" isn't "Star Wars" and I saw "Star Wars" in or around less than 10 times at the cinema between (1977 and 1980) as it was re-released as double bill alongside "The Empire Strikes Back" (after it did so well, later in the year).

    Yeah, but the hype worked, dinnit.
    You bought that disc at release time, in bluray nonetheless ... HAD to have it right away, didn't you.

    For us, I think we dropped $9 or so for 2 tickets and once I saw it I knew I wasn't wasn't to buy it on disc -
    it wasn't gonna join Lawrence and Excaliber and the classics I have in my disc collection.
    It just wasn't anything I'd watch over and over again ...

    What you don’t think I have “Lawrence of Arabia” on SE DVD. Saw it in wondrous 70mm Dolby SR at the Odeon Marble Arch, London early (1989) wow…

    “Avatar” I was just curious and slightly disappointed so Avatar 2 (I’m shaking my head and saying "no" out loud).

    Sooty doesn’t rate Avatar with 5 paws no more. Your leader, the Sooty has spoken.

    Why even bother. You simply dismiss my posts instead of directly responding to them.

    At this point, it's like having a discussion with a rock. Only this time, a rock could provide better facts to back his/her claims.

    I'm done. Avatar had positive aspects. That's all I'm trying to get across. If you can't see that, whatever.

    Quite unbelievable. You can google star wars and gett all the info you wish. I dont need to give you links to the info for the simple fact that is common knowledge. The only positve aspect of Avatar was................there wasnt one. It contained nothing that makes a movie great and as such it will never attain greatness.

    p.s. I would rather be a rock than live under one.

    Allan.

    I saw this on the In-70mm site and I’m sure it’s a piss take out of Avatar in 70mm.

    This version of Avatar is even better than the film itself.
