PoorSucker Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Went by Major Cineplex today and got my tickets to the premier Dec 17th. You can pre-book tickets for 17th to 20th of December. On the official site http://www.avatarmovie.com/ it says worldwide premier Dec 18th. So see it Dec 17th in Thailand and call your friends overseas.

neverdie Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Mmmmm you poor sucker, thanks but no thanks, I will go a week or two after and avoid the crowds. Did you get a 'love seat' or just a regular chair with all the other punters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I thought it was a 3D movie ? Is the cinema in tesco's a 3D cinema ? Evidently the most expensive film of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustafa Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 yeah it was made to be watched in 3D, but somehow I don't think we'll be getting the 3D glasses down at Tesco. Bangkok IMAX would be the place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogiewoogie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 so what about 3d in Tesco folks???? Is it 3d or no? Friend of mine told me watchin this movie without 3d is a time waste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koheesti Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's not in 3D down here. I'm not going to pay over $200 for a day trip to BKK just to see a movie so I guess I'll miss out on the amazing effects. Crap. I saw it the first day at 12:40 and there were maybe 10 other people there so I'm glad I didn't pre-book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the cost of the ticket? The movie is 95% incredible special effects and 5% script so on a small screen 95% is lost. Knowing that Cameron is the best one on scifi, i think that with cgi at todays point even the best gets lost with image and forget story.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koheesti Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Go see it for the special effects if nothing else - even if you can't see it in 3D. My ticket cost 160 baht for a seat that normally costs 120. In an empty auditorium. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Went to see it in plain old 2D at Tesco, it is still the most visually stunning movie I have ever seen. Well worth going to see if you enjoy fantasy, action and romance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koheesti Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Isn't 3 D glasses just 2 different colors?We got some from UBC a while ago for some special shows they were running. From what I've read this is a new 3D technology and is much superior to what we are used to. It was invented specifically for this film. The film was supposed to "change the way we make movies" but that could just be hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film was supposed to "change the way we make movies" but that could just be hype. I saw it in 3D on Sunday (Chiang Mai) - the 3D is really stunning, the best I have ever seen - it would be a real disapointment to miss out on that - and I guess some scenes may even seem pointless as they are obviously there for the 3D effect - for example at the beginiing the hero wakes up in a capsule filled with other life pods like his one, its in space, so people are pushing off from point to point, floating. Superb in 3d, might be kind of boring in 2D. The film itself isn't as bad as some people are saying - it dfoes have brilliant effects and CGI, but there is a plot and a storyline reminiscent of those old cowboy movies perhaps. Some of the acting is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracer Round Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Saw it in IMAX 3D and regular flat screen 3D. If you can see it in either of these formats, do. It re-sets the bar for realism in CGI and the 3D is just subtle enough to make the experience quite stunning. FYI, the glasses are (for the normal screens) Dolby-made phased glasses, while the IMAX ones are similar, but quite simple (but effective). The story is good and the pacing is as well. But the visuals are awesome. I rank this as a must-see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingeagle Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I believe this is the most expensive film ever made, budgeted at 500 million US Dollars. So the CGI and optical effects ought to be superb. I'm glad Cameon didn't fall into the George Lucus / Star Wars trap of great CGI but a wooden story telling!

Unfortunately he has fallen....there is no story, just bad guys trying to kill the savages.... Some of the Star Wars movie have a incredibly complicatedc story comared to the nothing of Avatar. I remember Cameron at the beginning, The village of the damned, CGI zero, story 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
