Avatar Makes Billion in Record Time

[2012 Wont Happen]

(ala Back to the Future), the movie has just about hit 84 miles an hour.

Isn't it 88 miles an hour?

edit-

Oh, I see, because it almost made history. I get it

OT:

I think it deserves it. I loved Avatar.

Definitely deserves it. Avatar was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Exactly. It hasn't officially been recorded, as the movie hasn't reached all shores yet. Once it has, though, that's when I feel it will be fully taken into account into the film records.

waahh thats amazing, i kinda hate how i couldnt go see it in 3D but meh, still a great movie

it isn't even the best sci-fi epic this year.

Name a better one.

I'd say District 9 fits. Just barely, but still.

Well then your opinion is worthless because I really wanted to like District 9 but walked out of the movie feeling robbed. It was poorly written, directed and acted. The story was very ham-handed and completely lacked any sort of subtlety. The movie was really just boring. Avatar on the other hand told a somewhat familiar story in a completely new was, was immensely detailed and lacked in no single area that I or anyone I've spoken to can name.

Well, i guess that eye candy is just that good. I'd watch it if storyline was less blunt, but i guess transparent analogies work perfectly for non-philosophising masses. Oh well. Sometimes, first duty of writers is restatement of the obvious.

You don't have to reinvent the wheel for a movie to be great. Avatar does have many cliches, yes; however, it executes them fairly flawlessly. While it's not my favourite movie ever (that honour goes to Children of Men, it's still an excellent film.
