Check it out i say, i'm curious about the plot. (Although over the years i know not to expect to much from USA productions like this.)
But i'm sure the special FX of this movies is going to be great!

The plot is pretty obvious by now. I saw the old trailer in a 3D cinema (glasses lol) some months ago. Nice, but I can't take the design of the blue guys seriously :(

Come on, it's not about the budget what makes this movie to make your heart beating !
it's James Cameron who made the Sci-Fi Milestones in the past.
Aliens, Terminator... Best of the 80's , 90's

Can't wait to see this movie to be honest. Haven't seen any trailers, just seen a wallpaper!

Makes it more exciting not knowing what the fuck it's all about!

3D is a must for this movie, all the footage is shot with reald3d cams.

Saw it last night (not 3d)

It is well worth watching. We have seen the story before, how natives are being run over by americans for oil/profits. This is nothing new and not really interesting. Of course, as we have seen before, it is an american soldier that will be the best leader for the natives in the end.

What I found interesting though is how this american soldier enjoys his avatar more than his real life. He stops eating, shower, shaving etc and prefers to spend his time in the other world. This should have gotten more focus i think instead of the half hearted criticism on imperialism and og so popular tributes to an ecological lifestyle.

But this movie is really all about the visuals and it really delivers on that point. It is an entertaining movie despite the cliches.

7/10

(I may have small spoilters, you're warned)

Saw it yesterday aswell, though in 3D, which is an absolutely amazing experience in my opinion. They don't overdo the effect of it, which is nice, and it just makes the whole experience seem even more real. All in all, the visuals are the most impressive I have yet to see in any movie ever, and they do a fantastic job of making you believe that you're really there.

As treachery pointed out, the story isn't anything remotely as groundbreaking, but James Cameron does a very good job of telling it, and I never felt that the movie was too long or drawn out (the last half hour of The Dark Knight anyone?), despite of its 2 hours 40 minutes. I actually liked that he took his time to tell the story properly, instead of the short montage you sometimes get in movies that want to show you how a person becomes integrated in a society etc.

As a friend of mine pointed out, the fact that the main character actually betrays his race is only pulled off because of the way that the humans are only there for the unobtainium (that was the only thing about the movie that sucked. I mean, come on you're using 500 million dollars, figure out a better name) and they're the classic non-caring profitseekers. Had they been there for something that would've saved the human race from X, the story would've been totally different.

In short: SEE IT AND DO SO IN 3D! It's like nothing you have ever experienced in a full length movie, but do not expect a sci-fi story as original as District 9 for instance.
Feral, a class of its own.
