Once, and I don't anticipate seeing it again.

Posted by: second gary (a.k.a 80181597) on Jan 20, 09:54 in response to secretstalker's post We don't do many polls here for whatever reason.. so...

I do see films in the theatre more than once, but I found "Avatar" unengaging.  It was spectacular, and had what I thought were a handful of superb images—the burning Na'vi horse-like creature during the battle, for instance—but it didn't interest me.

I would be interested in seeing a longer director's cut. 

The score was recycled material, and I didn't find it effective even once.

And I loved "Titanic," and its score.

We don't do many polls here for whatever reason.. so here's one. Has anyone reading this NOT seen Avatar yet? secretstalker Jan 20, 09:45

I haven't. I don't go to the theater much. Last time was for Cloverfield. Too expensive and I don't have kids (yet). My girlfriend and... eyescovered Jan 20, 09:51

I did not... Oleg Max Jan 20, 09:54

agree 100% {nm} skamanfu Jan 20, 13:23

me....can't decide if I want to or not; last movie I saw in theater was Star Trek {nm} ftwangel Jan 20, 10:06

I haven't. I don't go to the theatre often, and haven't had a chance to get out to it yet. I did see Sherlock Holmes in theatre though {nm} toughbax Jan 20, 10:07

I have not seen it yet, I want to, just haven't made it {nm} lapuckfan Jan 20, 10:14

I haven't...have a newborn so I won't be doing anything for a few years... {nm} All Blacks Jan 20, 10:23

whats an avatar? {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 20, 10:31

Another way for Microsoft to get you to spend space bucks on virtual clothing on Xbox Live. {nm} eyescovered Jan 20, 10:33

If Tasha Yar and Ava Gardner were to have a child, in vitro, of course, it might be named Avatar. Or Tashagar. {nm} second gary Jan 20, 11:18

Maybe tonight, it's having a 3-day, 2-d run in my tiny town {nm} Chefbobcat Jan 20, 10:35

I haven't and dont plan to. I think we all know why. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 20, 10:43

Because you're a movie snob? {nm} RogerMore Jan 20, 11:26

I haven't seen it. I just don't go and see a lot of movies. {nm} MoneyMagnet Jan 20, 11:02

I haven't. Doubt the (rather cartoonish) visual effects would redeem the weak screenplay. {nm} edzep Jan 20, 11:09

how do you know the screenplay is weak if you haven't seen it? {nm} mickpix Jan 20, 11:13

There's this thing called the interweb, where a large number of formal and informal reviews have noted the disparity re: effects and story. {nm} edzep Jan 20, 11:18

it's 82% fresh on RT and 84 on metacritic {nm} mickpix Jan 20, 11:49

And, I was intrigued, until the trailers revealed the plot line. {nm} edzep Jan 20, 14:56

I haven't and have no interest in doing so. Never saw Titanic either. {nm} sloopsjohng Jan 20, 12:18

I *know* someone that haven't, but desperately want to. They just need to find the tine when both they and a friend are available. Toruk Facto Jan 20, 12:52

I haven't seen it yet... I can't decide if I want to see it or not. {nm} joeoftexas Jan 20, 13:15

I'm surprised so many here don't go to the movies more than a few times a year (seemingly) {nm} MiyazakiFan Jan 20, 14:38

Nope. I don't enjoy the theater experience lately and frankly, I am not a lemming. {nm} leo21 Jan 20, 15:56

No. No 3D in my area yet so I doubt I will either {nm} TheSureThing Jan 20, 16:19

Have not seen it; hate movies hyped to be the next bible. sneak Jan 20, 16:38

Don't fret...me and my friends have seen it enough to compensate for all of you! {nm} RoBoGuru Jan 20, 16:57
