It brought me flashbacks of Nagrand from WoW....

Just saw it today. Very pretty.

Other than that it's Dances with Wolves with alot of make up.

That was the biggest part of the movie that bothered me. (strangely enough)

Sure, suspension of disbelief got me past the na'vi, their weird brain ports, floating rocks (low gravity is mentioned along with whatever weirdness is in that spot)

but.. Where does the water in those floating rocks come from? They're just pouring water all day long from *where*? The mist around them cant provide that much moisture.

sigh.

Really? That's the part that bugged you? There's a lake on top of those rocks. They're big. It floats around in mist and gets rained on from being in a tropical rain forest climate. No one said that waterfall falls all the time. Maybe it only falls after rain makes the lake over flow.

That's silly. That's like the scientist who didn't like the shot where the gas giant is visibly rotating in the background because it would have to be rotating 50 times faster than Saturn.

The real giant coincidence of the movie is that the Na'vi don't have six legs like all the other creatures of the world they live on. By all rights they should be centaur cat people if they live on the moon of hexapods.

So, did you go see it yet? I'm worried that if enough people don't go see it people will stop making movies with catgirls in them. I hear it's not doing very well.

The idea of floating islands has been around for a while. You see them in Roger Dean paintings for instance.

How very wrong you are.

The movie has already made over one Billion worldwide.

The movie cost $237 Million to make, so yeah...its doing damn good.

On the ALL TIME WORLD RECORDS of Box Office Sales, Avatar is #2 right below Titanic (ironically another James Cameron film)

Well I assume you're talking about "the flux", the strange distortion that envelops the hallelujah mountains. Persumably it refers to some sort of "gravitational flux" where either gravity is at its weakest point or a large deposit of unobtanium pushes the land upwards.
HOWEVER!
The natural gravity thing makes no sense because then why don't people just fly off into space when they get too close, and we are never told anything about unobtanium other than how much it sells for. For all we know it's being ground up and used as a sweetener for coffee back on Earth, we're certainly not led to believe that it makes things float.
AND!
Neither of those explanations excuse the waterfalls.

Also, I absolutely loved the movie and the mountains were the only part I had any real trouble with, and that isn't saying much, my earlier post made me out to seem angrier about it than I was. In hindsight I shouldn't have unleashed the awesome power of capslock.

what i didn't quite understand was how all the aliens had USB ports built into their ponytail braids

[Jake T Catt]

What I want to know is, did Jake and Neytiri ever connect themselves together using those USB connectors? and if so, what happened?
