I have not!

But my girlfriend and I (and a big group of friends) are going to see it in Imax 3D tomorrow.

Saw it last night in IMAX 3D. Amazing to say the least.

The storyline wasn't anything original (it's pretty much Dances With Wolves) but it's done very well and the world they created is stunning. It's almost less a movie and more an experience.

Its hard to find a movie these days that is truly original. Avatar was original, and the world that Cameron created is absolutely stunning. I loved this movie, and I'll definitely be seeing it again.

It was great.
I saw the midnight showing after i had just woken up from a nap
After i went to bed afterwards, i woke up three times with breathing hard, heart racing, and covered in sweat; like i had just gone running.
It was really weird as i dont remember any dreams from that night.

Ill be seeing it again.

And yes, its Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves put together in space.
But i liked both those movies so its still gnarls

First off the movie was amazing.

Secondly, a friend of mine also said it reminded him of Pocahontas. Personally it reminded me of Atlantis.

The script is not anything to write home about, unless you want to write home about how bad it is.

There is FAR more to a great story than a great script.

Avatar is a GREAT movie.

I feel like George Hebert right after he got done chillin with his African tribal homies. [/parkour nerd]

lol yeah, it was amazing, and i really want to see it again (and probably again after that, and another time after that). :)

It's almost less a movie and more an experience.
yes i have to agree about the experience but i thought it was pretty good movie-wise as well.
