James Cameron's Avatar

Hmm I haven't seen it yet and didn't realise it was a spoiler - kind of got the story kist from the preview... But if it's enough of a spoiler then I'll make it a link not the image but am on iPod at moment so might have to wait till morning..

Don't know why, but I really want to see it again, maybe to give the movie another chance, lol !

Hi,

Anybody know if the Avatar movie running in Lausanne Galleries a 3D version? The website does not mention it explicitly.

Have a good weekend..

Avast matey,

I think they are. My brother saw it there in 3d last week.

Enjoy the movie, cheers

great movie, i recommend to watch it in 3D not in normal screen, there is a big difference,

enjoy the movie

I've seen it in 2D and 3D. Definitely 3D is the way to go. Massive difference.

Great movie, I would also recommend to watch it on 3D.

Shame they don't specifically mention if it's in 3D. They've also changed the times and it only passes once a day in english now in Galeries. Maybe they had 3D shows before?

Better call them first and find out. Pathe Balexert specifically has the 3D sign next to some projections for Avatar, this might be a better bet.

Do watch it in 3D versus normal, it's worth it.

The Pathe cinema website has a specific webpage that outlines which screens are showing Avatar in 3D when.

One VO show a day at 19:00h in Lausanne, except for Saturday...

Looking forward to watching it in 3D!

Thanks for your replies..one more question though..

This one says its suitable for 12+ years old, but I wanted to take my 7 year old to watch it(I suppose it should be ok, but does it have a lot of violence?).

Do they strictly enforce this age limit at the time of entering? We dont want to book tickets online and then be denied entry.

Cheers..

Yes, they do enforce age, i got my daughter refused to watch a cartoon movie which states +7 & she's 5

Switzerland is clearly not the United States. Many, many years ago I remember seeing a little kid tug on his mother's arm and point at a poster for Terminator 2: Judgement Day . (Another James Cameron film.) I thought, "Fat chance kid at getting in---the film's rated R!" To my shock, I saw the mother walk up to the box office and buy a ticket for herself and her son, who was probably under 10 to see the movie.

You don't even know the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system in the States..?!

Rated R = Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian

And yes, clearly Switzerland is not the States..

I believe that it is allowed under adult supervision...

This is true. I saw it at the London IMAX and I have to say the image quality at the Geneva Pathé was much better, despite the smaller screen and sound not being as loud. It still looked great, but I found the image quality drop surprising. I'd compare it to a JPEG image being blown up to 125% of its size.

And it's now the second highest grossing movie of all time. James Cameron's got the magic touch. Whether you think he makes good movies or not (I happen to think he does), you've gotta admit he's got the talent to turn his movies into frickin' events . And he's done it two times in a row, each time being an uphill struggle with films that were far from being sure things. A movie about a sinking ship and everyone dies at the end? A silly-looking sci-fi movie about blue people that isn't based on any known property? Yet we've got ourselves the two highest grossing films of all time.

I will watch the movie at sydney Imax, will report when i am back from sydney

WHAT A FANTASTIC MOVIE WITH LOTS OF MAGIC BLUE PEOPLE....

Joking aside. I got so hooked despite sitting in the first row in a fully booked 3D show E/d/f subtitles, that I wanted to go again the next day.

It takes you away from reality and thats what one sometimes needs..... it was as if I didnt want to come back into reality....

So in my opinion - yes ok, some bits and bobs seem familiar if you have seen Stargate by R. Emmerich or the Matrix or whatever, but hey, it is one of the few films that really makes you want to have more, more , more.....

So ignore the storyline and just enjoy the effects ....

Even the "I see you" made me smile, as it reminded me of "be seeing you" in the UK series "The Prisoner" *mind you, that was a bit of a different story....

So...... see you......

Cameron should have given more thought on the fauna of Pandora...it's really stupid anatomically that an animal would have 2 pairs of front feet, like those horses and the wild-doberman looking dogs...or the giant birds with a pair of wings in the front and another in the back, LOL !

Evolution is no stranger to "stupid" things become an integral part of an animal or creature over a period of time. From a functional design standpoint, many things about our bodies are an absolute disaster. For example, what you're looking at your computer screen with:

The fauna of Pandora was designed for over a year before production started. I'd say they gave it more thought than you have.

Irelevant smarty...haven't you heard of artists creating something in the course of a year's time and it tourned out to $hit ??? The fauna is criticized on many blogs and reviews > a double pair of frontal feet is ilogical since the terrain of Pandora is pretty similar to Earth's...it just looks ridiculous ! lol, at least he didn't give the Na'vi 2 pairs of hands

And besides, most of the creatures look sooo unoriginal, either inspired from other movies or from modern-day mammals !
