Critique for the critics April 18, 2010
Format:Amazon Instant Video
This movie is an amazing example of what sci-fi was meant to be. If they could have restrained themselves from cluttering it up with profanity it would have been the perfect example. It would be a yard stick for other sci-fi movies to measure by. Sadly Hollywood doesn't know how to make a movie without bad language. That's another issue however.

The issue is that this movie is awsome and yet there are so many that feel they must spew insults at anything that doesn't fit their own skewed idea of perfection that it makes me sick. I guess it needed full nude sex scenes followed by the graphic beheading of the lovers inside flaming buildings by alien bugs to get past the jaded video gaming eyes of the detractors. No room left in those heads for a good story huh? Sad. For the rest of you, if you can stand the language the movie is one of the best. Now, where did I put my tv guardian....

Great Movie August 27, 2010
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was hesitant to watch this movie for some reason, but decided to rent it. I am really happy I did. I really liked the movie and loved all the vivid colors. My favorite is the connection with the dragons. I also really liked when the lead actor caught a ride on the dragon that no one else could capture. I don't usually watch movies twice, but I may just watch this one again.

Avatar August 13, 2010

I didn't see this in the theatre -- in 3-D, and I was sure that the hype would create disappointment if I saw it. But, one day I decided to rent it and see what the hype was about. By the time Jake Sully is accepted by the Na'vi, I was hooked. It is a GREAT story and I could watch it over and over again. I plan to own the movie soon and watch it often. That is the greatest praise I can give this magnificent cinematic fete.

Awesome and a Disappointment
Avatar as a sci-fi special effects film is a tour de force. And the story we start out with is remarkable and immediately engaging. Read more

A 3-D movie that has done it right
Let me start off by saying that this was a great movie. It is a great movie with just your own screen, but it is better in theatres for its 3-D. Read more

A worthy plot and a good film
Yes, it is a tree-huger film. But the plot and the character development are very strong. Between the visuals and the plot/characters, you'll be entertained. Read more

Stunning
Firstly, when was the last time you saw a sci-fi film in which humans aren't necessarily portrayed as the good guys, and don't necessarily win the day? Read more

Don't get ripped off like I did.
Avatar is wonderful.
I bought it as streaming from Amazon, with a blackout period.
They don't tell you for how long, I though 6 months or so,
It is years. Read more

An "amen" from the dirt-worshipers, eye candy for everyone else.
Alright, I'll give this movie what it deserves--kudos for excellent visuals, edge-of-your-seat action, suspense-filled drama, and even a good amount of comic relief. Read more

Good movie, but a bit heavy-handed
"Avatar" is obviously beautiful and visually stunning. The story line is pretty good, the effects are awesome, the action scenes are really fun, but the message is a bit much. Read more

All's well that ends well.
I watched the movie Avatar on Amazon and did experience a couple short glitches, but was mostly satisfied with the experience.
