    I'm going to assume since the movie concept came about 14 years ago that the game was just something recently thought up and it'll either be directly based on the story or a sidestory. The planes did look similar to Halo and that is exactly what I thought when I saw it. When I showed my friend a trailer for it he said it looked like Halo meets Farcry.

        For a movie that supposedly had all sorts of buzz and hype surrounding it, I actually haven't heard much about it until this week other than a friend of mine looking at the poster on the way into the theater and going, "Doesn't look like Avatar is going to be good."

        ...actually, I did hear about it once. When I was reading about the supposed The Last Airbender movie and wondered why they didn't call it "Avatar: The Last Airbender", where they explained somebody else bought the rights to use the name.

        If I go see anything this weekend, it's probably going to be The Princess and the Frog. Sorry. Saw trailers for Avatar and don't care. The thing about it that gets my attention the most is that it might've had a budget as high as $300 million or something like that. JEEZUS!

          I'm just hoping it won't be in the same boat as Beowulf... Actual Beowulf movie was not good at all, but in IMAX it was incredible. Without Imax 3-D, Beowulf is just another animated movie. I agree though when I first heard about it, there was incredible hype, but now that it is close I've seen very few trailers on TV (I don't even think they advertise that it is in IMAX 3-D) and a commercial for a cellphone that has a projector on it. The guy uses the cellphone to show a Avatar trailer on the wall. I think there may even be Burger King toys out. The Avatar game came out either early this week or last week.

          Had I not watched movie buzz and had a friend tell me about the signup for the 20minute preview, I probably wouldn't even really be interested in it now.

            Holy shit!
            This is easily the best movie I've seen all year.
            Words do not do it justice.
            My only complaint is that all the Imax theaters were sold out so I had to watch it on a normal big screen.

              lol, the IMAX show I got to see sold out and the one after that did as well. Told my parents I was going to take them on Monday or Tuesday of this week but the IMAX sold out Sunday and has sold out every day since then. I'll take them on next Monday when all the school kids are back in school.

                The IMAX around here fails, and I won't be able to see it in IMAX until next year.

                Totally enjoyed the regular 3D movie, though. Awesome movie indeed.

                  My mind was not blown, but it was very good. I did not regret it one bit.

                    My mind was not blown but I AM blown away. There were some gorgeous scenes to be sure but it struck me as very similar to some video games I've played. BUT what blows me away about this movie is how seamless the intigration is between real and digital. At first I was trying to pick between what was and wasn't but I soon got a headache from trying to do it since it was done so fucking well so I stopped. Then the movie sucked me in to Pandora and approx 150 minutes later it unfortunately spit me back out.

                      haha, I was doing the same exact thing. Pandora shined during the whole movie, but especially shined at night (OMG!!!).

                        I just assumed the whole thing was CG minus the human actors, but damn was it pretty. I really can't get over how immersive that world was.

                          As I was watching AVATAR, there was this one scene that reminded me of "Earth Song" from Michael Jackson's "This Is It!" After thinking about it awhile, the whole world of Pandora and actually the whole movie reminded me of "Earth Song."

                          [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn5zIzzXL0g"]YouTube- Earth Song This is it 2009[/ame]

                          Found a video.... (BOOTLEGZ) The main part I was talking about was around 4:50.

                            Ya this movie really touched me more than any movie has in a very long time. I just didn't want it to stop...ever!

                              It was a goregous movie. good actors and good story. but one thing that bothers me, is the fact it borrowed ALOT from a bunch of other stories out there. Does animorphs ring a bell to anyone? or dinotopia? non the less. Awesome movie, saw it twice actually.
                              Thf75/Cor75- Time to work on this...

                                Animorphs were children who morphed into animals. I didn't see anything even remotely like that here.

                                The movie delivered, big time. I was it in Real D 3D and most of the movie looked like a pop-up book. 3D or not, I think it's an awesome movie.
