Leave the dude alone, he's hardly screaming for attention or saying its the best movie ever.

Have they come up with any new trailers yet? I'd really like to see something that doesn't look like it was whipped up on Cameron's 12 year old nephew's Macbook Pro.
You need to read the thread
Personally, I suspect the film will miss the mark as I fear 'the message' may be lost in new in all the new technology involved, and I fear Cameron may have passed his prime. However, I'm hopnig I'm wrong and will wait till I see it to comment.
What you see in this thread - which I've picked up on - are silly childish binary opinions (going to the worse film ever... Cameron is rubbish) with are just childish ill-thoughtout cries for attention rather than any sort of attempt to participate in an adult conversaion
A good number of 'regular' cinemas did the upgrade to digital years ago. If you're talking about one local to you, guess you'll need to find out. But if they're showing any 3D films, then they almost certainly are running digital 3D projectors.

Ok well I'm going to stick my neck out here and risk it. From the shots and sequences I have worked on and had the pleasure of watching - I can safely say I was dissapointed in the acting (mostly the voice acting). Also the actual animation of the characters was completely rushed and I am amazed the film is even coming out so soon. We were still working on the film about 2 weeks ago and it only just passed the full colour grade about a week/days ago. Which is why I think it won't be as good as it could be - they rushed a fair few (pivotal) scenes in order for a christmas release.

I thought this was a good promotional article on the film:

Gives an idea of just how much work goes into these type of movies.
I don't get the all negativity for something you've worked on? If they've rushed stuff, well fine, that's understandable. Cameron himself has said he'll basically be editing up until release date.
It'd be great if you could offer some proof of your involvement in the film. (Not an insult, just a genuine request).

I would love to but we dont get our individual 3D elements until after the film has been released to DVD. It's always a pain in the arse because I cant update my demo reel with avatar stuff until next year!

Just booked to see it at the Imax in Glasgow next week, should be impressive hopefully!
So it's had its premiere. 6 reviews on RT, all glowing.

I must admit that reading those critic reviews, it almost sounds as if they have been made up. There is nothing but praise.
Once it goes on general release and non-newspaper reviews come out, those reviews, by the general public, should be more insightful.

The initial reviews generally seem +ve...
The King of the World sets his sights on creating another world entirely in "Avatar," and it's very much a place worth visiting. The most expensive and technically ambitious film ever made, James Cameron's long-gestating epic pitting Earthly despoilers against a forest-dwelling alien race delivers unique spectacle, breathtaking sights, narrative excitement and an overarching anti-imperialist, back-to-nature theme that will play very well around the world, and yet is rather ironic coming from such a technology-driven picture. Twelve years after "Titanic," which still stands as the all-time B.O. champ, Cameron delivers again with a film of universal appeal that just about everyone who ever goes to the movies will need to see.

Really looking forward to this but no where local seems have it listed for the Friday yet. Wanna get my tickets booked ASAP.
Our local has a late night showing on the Wed night, and then normal business from Thu.
