How does it rate on the Joe Bob Briggs scale (number of explosions, number of breats)?

You're not planning on seeing it another 25 times are you?

It was visually impressive.

But the movie itself?

Not very good.

Just my opinion.

Leni Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of the Will” was also a very well-made and artistic film. Since Hitler is now safely dead, I’d rather watch that.

I thought it was ok. The story was silly and certain parts were unexplainable to me, shooting with guns?? a taped together “daisy cutter”... the CGI was pretty cool, i loved the flying scenes, the dragons etc...
overall i gave it a C...

But the imagination of whoever created this story was truly appreciated by me.

Imagination!! LOL!

Get past the message and focus on the movie and it’s quite an experience. I enjoyed it.

I loved it. I recognized the liberal love the trees stuff too, but just let it go and enjoyed the scenery and the story.

I wasn’t going to see it. For many of the reasons explained above. I went last Sunday and have been mind blown ever since. This isn’t just a movie. It is a technological mind twisting marvel. Put cotton in your ears if you have to and just go LOOK at it. Remember the people that were depressed because they wanted to live on Pandora. NO ONE will not want to visit that world. IT IS BREATH TAKING.

I hate the PC nonsense, but guys and gals, if you don’t see this on the big screen, you’re missing it. Most of all you’re missing being 12 again.

Simply defies adjectives.

3D animation, 1D characters

The 3D animation was awesome. It was like you could reach out and touch what you were seeing, or you could walk right into the scene.

The storyline and characters, Zzzzzzzzz.

What might be cool is to just listen to your favorite music on headphones while watching the movie.

If Scully hadn’t been so busy “going native,” he might’ve saved some lives.

I back all of what you said. My wife and I loved it for the same reasons.

It's a fantasy people and a damn good one at that. Honestly, my two sons praised it up so high that I went in with negative expectations. It just blew me away

I told the wife that the DVD will not sell well as it will not be worth watching unless in IMAX 3D.

I felt similar.
The visuals were fantastic however the story seemed to be very close to “The Abyss”.

I ended up watching it 26 times in the theater.

I sure hope you've found a girl friend since then.

I thought the movie was visually incredible, but the story dragged on and on, especially since the cliched nature of the plot told you how it was all going to end right from the get-go. There are only so many times you can see space butterflies come at you from the screen before it loses its magic, so you need a decent story to keep the interest. This movie didn’t have that.

When Star Wars first came out, it was so over-sold that, when I finally saw it in theater, I asked, “That’s it?”. Special effects, but ooh, the acting! Like in a big high-school’s senior play. Well, wifey wanted to see “Blue Pocahantas, or The Last Samurai Dances with Ferngully Wolves in Space” for Valentine’s Day. Computer-puppet “acting” wasn’t as wooden as the action-figures-like SW, but, how many hours does it take to tell such a simple story!?
