Zoe Saldana doesn’t get near enough credit for this role. Her performance, though mostly mocap, is so alien yet still remains relatable to a very high degree.
I couldn't agree more!!! She is an amazing actress!
When the wildlife of Pandora joined the fight against the humans, the audience of the theater I was in utterly cheered.
I get goosebumps every time I hear the Ikran war cries as they were raining down the skies to join the Jake.
I saw this in IMAX 3D. The 3D was subtle. It just made the movie more immersive. Sometimes a floating object floated at or past you or you felt like you were IN the scene with them. That was the most groundbreaking aspect.
This ^ before avatar the 3D was a gimmick where things popped out, but in this movie the 3D extended farther into the scene instead of towards the audience.
The scenes where they're running through the floating mountains are breathtaking in 3D.
I did too, but to be honest, ive seen this so many times since then i dont remember what it was like in the cinema. But every time i watch saving private ryan i have no sympathy with wade when he dies, because of the same actor’s role in this movie.
James Cameron said he didn't want to make a "in your face" 3D but one that expands the field of view.
And they perfectly nailed it.
The screen isn't the background where stuffs pop out, it's the foreground where the scene deepens, like looking at a window leading to a new world
I saw also in Imax in 2010
Seeing a simple story told well is such a joy. This movie is so wholesome. Love it.
Exactly how I feel. It's story is simple, but that's what makes it work.
the story is simple but the amount of time and details spent on the whole lore of the race and the planet is so complex
How is this movie wholesome if i may ask?
@@timrosswood4259Because it has cultural, social, political, and religious themes, the most prominent being the conflict between modern humans and nature, and the film's treatment of colonialism, imperialism, racism, militarism, patriotism, corporate greed, property rights, spirituality and religious dogmas. It conveys all the good messages that it wants to and it does it very well
@@andralfoo and Cameron intentionally did it subtly. He speak about not banging viewers upside the head with his political viewpoints like nowadays woke movies. He’s not going to include something that he knows isn’t popular with global audience like two women kissing. This is why his films always makes money.
"Dude, have you seen his local tail?" LMAO that was a great line.
Honestly, tsutey's death was the most depressing scene for me. It gave the vibe of "All is lost"
u gotta remember he's their war chief... like their best warrior captain. its like a king getting slayed in battle... totally demoralising
"I had to chop off a cow's head, I was 7, our ritual sucked" Never change Mary 😂
The effects, the music, the Navi, the love story, the action, i mean this movie has it all. It honestly blows me away when some poeple say they dont like it, its like are you dead inside or something? lol.
I suppose its like anything thats super successful, it gets haters. Titanic went through the same thing for the first few years.
This movie was INCREDIBLE in 3D and IMAX. Every frame was a visual masterpiece. I would occasionally look at over at the person I saw it with and we both looked at each other like 'what the hell are we watching?!' The 3D was immersive! It wasn't like watching a screen, it was like being a meter inside the screen.
Definitely go see the sequel in 3D. Even if the story sucks it will still be the most beautiful movie you ever saw.
this
I absolutely adore this film! Sometimes a movie's plot/concepts don't have to be super complex to be enjoyable. It had a message and stuck with it. But mostly it's the characters, art design, and world building that appeal to me the most. I am incredibly excited for the sequels!
EDIT: OMG I love how emotionally invested you were! It warms my heart to see people care!
Yeah exactly. Simplicity is not a detriment to quality
I LOVE this film too.It's the TOP sellling movie of all time for a reason,it's-GREAT. LOL.
But the plot is very complex and much deeper than people think
@@Yami_rodriguez878 It's not obvious but you are a hundred percent correct. I wouldn't have noticed it when I first saw it but my perspective on it has changed over the years.
Putting the Avatar cover art over Pocahantas and Dances with Wolves... *Chef's Kiss*..
Just forgot Ferngully
@@foulrot totally
I remember seeing this in the theater and to this day it's still on my Top 10 favorite movies of all time list!
One of only two movies I saw three times in theater. Two times when it released and a third time one year later when it came in 3D. Many people downplay it as just a moden Pocahontas. But for me a movie is great when it reaches my heart. And MAN, did this one touch my heart! When the Hometree falls, I feel equally destroyed every time.
I remember seeing this with my cousin in IMAX 3D. It was amazing. The scenes where they was shooting up the tree and the scene after when the ashes was flying around was so real in IMAX 3D because it was like the flames, smoke, and ashes was right in your face. I even recall waving my hands in front of my face like I was trying to get the ashes and smoke out from in front of my face.
3D is awesome but it can give you a headache if you're not careful.
I, like you, was very emotional when I watched the first time. My heart broke for them because everything they had faith in and held sacred was taken away from them. Love your reaction!!
JillCrow53,what you said in your thread,I know what that FEELS like.''Everything they had faith in and held sacred was taken from them".Had it happen to me in REAL-life,it was not FUN !!! Nor a movie.
I was lucky enough to see this in IMAX 3D when it first came out, it was INCREDIBLE. And I didn't even know what it was, I was going to see another movie but it was sold out. My mom said this one had a lot of buzz about it, and my dad had just died so we were looking for a distraction. This movie actually took me away from my grief, to another place, it was that good. I love this movie and it holds a special place in my heart because of that.
I wouldn't be surprised if they re-released this to theatres in IMAX and 3D prior to the sequel coming out. It really is worth seeing in the cinema. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great reaction! I feel like this one truly gave us a glimpse into your soul seeing the way you became attached to the characters and creatures. This is on of the few films that I splurged and took the kids to the IMAX theater to view. It was mind blowing. Just four and a half months till the new one comes out. Really glad you appreciated the beauty of this as much as we did.
so nice to see people actually appreciating this film, it gets so much hate for no good reason
Mary, I have been watching your channel for quite a while and I just wanted to say thank you. Your reactions are always so fun, genuine, and uplifting to watch. Thanks for sharing with us!
James Cameron wanted to cast an unknown actor in the Jake Sully role, so the protagonist would feel like an "every man," a nobody that everyone could root for. Sam Worthington is Australian and said the Na'vi language was easier to learn than the American accent. Great reactions. Thanks for sharing.
Avatar really was insanely advanced for its time in terms of CGI, really pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Happy to see you reacting to it, in preparation for Avatar 2 I guess haha
@@carlevans8825 Yea, I remember watching a Sound related video regarding the movie. Apparently, JC created entire new Complete language for the movie and then used that language in few of the soundtracks.
For its time? I still think its the benchmark for CGI today. I don't think anything has topped it. It will be interesting to see what Avatar 2 can do.
AVATAR 2 is gonna ROCK !!! LOL.
I remember when this first game out loving the 3D. It was done so well in a time when 3D in a movie was usually for gimmicks where the character would reach out at the audience or something and this was the first one that almost did the opposite. Some things came toward you mildly but most of the 3D added depth into the screen and it was almost like looking through a window to Pandora. I went to see it probably 3 or so times in high school haha
I love this movie and loved your reaction. It is one of the very few movies where you are for the aliens and against the humans. You need to watch the extended version which has a lot of information that really enhances the movie and I know you will love it. Also the extended version usually comes with an extra disk that has behind the scenes stuff. Like how they did the motion capture, I think you would it also. Great job Mary, your expressions and commentary were awesome.
I don't care for 3D, but it was a beautiful scenery even on a mediocre cinema screen I watched it in (we don't have IMAXes here). But I have watched it ten times later at home not for the graphics alone, but for the story and characters and how it all comes together.
WROOT,I love the characters and story TOO.GREAT film for me.
Mary's review of avatar:
"I feel like my soul just got destroyed" 10/10
This is gonna sound cheesy AF but it's the truth.
I saw this movie in theaters in 3D and it was basically a spiritual experience for me.
The 3D wasn't crazy, but it was just enough that if you allowed your brain to go along with it...became super immersive. I remember, when Home Tree was taken down and ash was flying everywhere, trying to bat it out of my face.
I walked out of the theater, feeling like I was disembarking a spaceship, having returned to Earth. I was disoriented as hell and had to sit in my car for a while to decompress. I felt like I had been gone for years. That all of the things in my car had sat there, waiting for my return, to trigger memories of my life on Earth.
.
The goal of most all people in the movie business is to transport the viewers to the world they are creating, with the sights, the sound design, the music...but this was the first time that I felt literally transported. I will never forget it.
I will do my best to see the sequels in theaters.
“It had blood! I WAS SEVEN!!” 😂😂 sounds a lot like my coming of age ceremony.
I remember seeing this opening day in IMAX 3d and still remember the light seeds floating in front of my face! It was breath taking
I was sat about 20m from the screen, not by choice but it was so immersive, it was the greatest cinematic experience of my life.
Marijke: I was expecting a cute bird.
Ahhh Marijke, this is Pandora. Everything is trying to kill you.
Avatar is being re-released in September to refresh audiences before the sequel in December. I'm not sure, but I'd expect it to be in 3D. You should go see it then in a cinema.
Sam Worthington was great in Terminator: Salvation.
Avartar was the movie that did 3D right and for the right reasons, it was awesome and it made me go back 6 times to watch , sadly While Avatar as a good example the industry tried to cash in, resulting in incredibly bad 3d films
Right... Like EVERY blade of grass was in 3D. I was AWED by this movie when it came out. And it's still one of the prettiest films I've ever seen...
you must be young. Hollywood is a business first. in the 50s, when 3d first came out, it was to compete with tv, which was becoming the dominant entertainment. then they brought it back in the 70s, again to compete with tv, because cable was spreading fast, more channels and better picture. it was always a gimmick. boosted profits temporarily. and now with everyone using CGI effects in everything, it comes back again. almost always bad scripts and no name actors because the 3d cameras and film were so expensive. i hope you and others can watch some of the old 3d movies, there good in a cheesey MST3K kind of way.
@@phillipsuttles1926 Everyone knows hollywood is a business, the point is that Avatar was the first movie to do 3D in a way that warranted being 3D. It wasn't just a gimmick that was solely a selling point, it actually ENHANCED the watching experience, and turned the movie from something generic to a landmark of movie making.
I still have a 3D TV and have the Movie in 3D, might have to watch it all the way through before it goes..
To this day avatar was the best looking 3-D movie, It was definitely worth checking out if you were able to get good seat and enjoy the movie as intended.
My friends took me on my bday cause I still had not seen it months after release. It was still showing in cinemas and it was packed! It was a cultural impact moment for it's generation
You were a little off on what the movie achieved. It won 3 Academy Awards and was nominated for 9. A lot of people thought the actors should have won at least a couple but because it was live action animation they were ignored. It grossed 2.8 billion dollars worldwide, making it the top grossing movie ever.
The climax. Eywa: "Fine. I'll do it myself"
Amazing how quickly this movie went from absolutely brilliant to a meme and then back to brilliant
Your reaction was so amazing and emotional! I really liked how you expressed so much emotion throughout and I really thought that you did an impressive job on your reaction overall! Can't wait for AVATAR: The Way of Water coming out in December!
I own three versions of this film and I've watched them hundreds of times. It never gets old.
One of the best things about 3D for this movie was how well subtitles just popped out for you, they were so crisp and clear. Also the computer screens really stood out too.
The 3D in this movie was so much better than anything else. It only made the world feel volumetric rather than try to jab you in the face, very easy on the eyes. It wasn't like the nauseating version you see in other movies.
I bought the deluxe Blu-ray edition. It has all the extras, that make the movie hit deeper into your psyche, and mean more than being a fun space movie.
I always enjoy your reactions Mary. I was having a bad day and needed this :).
i remember seeing the teaser and thought, this is amazing, i've never seen anything like this before. then it said james cameron, and i was doubly excited. the theatre experience was so immersive, i really felt like i was in that world. can't wait for the sequel... glad theatres are back to normal now
One of the things I love about this movie is the underatted story of The Doctor Grace:
A scientist of her caliber would not believe in religion/afterlife, in the end of the movie... someone like her that has at least passion for her work and is Human .. learns that she can take steps into the shoes of a Navi. Take a second shot at being young and healthy again, from a scientist perspective that should give them a form of enlightment because mortality has a on and off switch. In the end, Grace pleads for the Navi knowing that the connection to a higher purpose doesn't just means a social and cultural experience. It means that through a wider range of living with nature the being can return to health and enlightening by connecting to a network that a scientist should find as effects of a drug or nothing less than a chemical reaction. She sees that "the network" is a faith that has a unity and possible afterlife. The movie uses Grace to explain faith from a non believer to show a faith that is fictional to us. Death does makes her look more delusional, but you can tell she dies as a believer of the Navi pantheon.
Such a great reaction miss Mary!!!! Loved it . You were so into it!! . 👍👍👍 And I've never heard of anyone who didn't like this movie.
Your comment on the Papyrus Font was hilarious!!, it made me rewatch the SNL "Papyrus" Sketch that comments on exactly that hahaha, what a legend you are for noticing that. :D
The movie looked good enough in trailers to attract on its own, but you also had James Cameron, a master movie-maker, releasing this after a number of quiet years following the success of another world blockbuster, Titanic. It's also a good movie to watch if you haven't seen it.
The 3D effects were amazing, especially how the white spirit flowers/seeds looked floating. It made a lot of money because people kept going back just to see the 3D effects again and again although the storyline was predictable.
When this came out in theaters, I made sure to see it in two different ways for comparison. 1) With all the bells and whistles except 3D. 2) All the bells and whistles including IMAX 3D. In both cases, "Avatar" was stunningly beautiful eye candy. The 3D was more immersive as it was done in the proper way.
One of the complaints for "Avatar" was that the story was too similar to "Dances With Wolves" and not an original story. IMO, I'm not as concerned about predictability or originality. For me, it's more important if a movie is done right and if it can be a moving experience.
another influence was Call Me Joe by Poul Anderson
3D movies have been around (practically) forever. The first 3D movie, "The Power of Love" came out on September 27, 1922 and was shown at the Ambassador Hotel Theater in Los Angeles. Generally 3D movies require special glasses to be worn during viewing and those glasses have changed over the years, early on utilizing one blue lens and one red lens, and later utilizing polarized lenses. Viewing a 3D movie without the glasses results in a blurry image since two images are projected at slightly different angles, one seen with the right eye and the other seen with the left eye. Regardless of whether or not you watch the Avatar in 3D or in a more standard format, the visuals are stunning and the result of extensive and innovative CGI.
Great movie! Glad you’re finally seeing it, it is an old story in a new world. But it does receive some unnecessary hate, you can’t please everyone I guess.
So during your Erin Brokovich reaction, you recognized the lawyer as he played Dr Hodgins in Bones. I was a little surprised that you didn’t recognize here the human anthropologist in Avatar (Norm Spellman) played by Joel David Moore as he played one of Dr Brennan’s intern (Dr Fisher, the conflicted geek with a goth style that was often depressed and ironical about life) in Bones haha.
James Cameron is the master at pulling emotions from the audience. He grabs your guts and lets go only when he decides to, with the perfect timing. The movie came out a year we had a terribly harsh winter. Ultra cold temps, roads barred cause icy. I took shelter in the cinema and went to a better place for a few hours. When we all came out we were running on adrenaline and wonder. We didn't feel the cold or the seasonal depression anymore. Once in a lifetime experience, probably like the first Star Wars was for the previous generations. I don't go to theaters anymore but I will go watch the sequels in 3D in the best theater I can find.
The 3D for this was so good that when I saw it in 3D after a while I stopped thinking about it as a 3D movie. I no longer noticed the 3D, I just saw. Like looking through a giant transparent window.
I'm in the "loved the movie" camp.
5:34 Just speculation, but they seem to show a sharp contrast in Grace's behavior as if to imply that more and more the avatar body she has is the one she prefers and considers more like her body. She clearly seems happier when she's in her avatar form.
lol, the best presentation with the 'other' stories behind!
The movie did so good at the box office because it was so good. People kept coming back to see it again & again to relive the experience.
The sleazeball Colonel whom you said you thought you recognized, is played by Stephen Lang who also played the sleazeball Ike Clanton in Tombstone (although it is hard to imagine you recognizing him under all that facial hair). I personally was shocked when i found this out.
This is hitting theaters again today, I highly recommend seeing it in 3D, it was THE definitive 3D movie and still is to this day. The movie itself is a take on several tired tropes, but it's so spectacular and enjoyable i can accept that part.
"I never thought I'd be touched by tall, blue people" - Mary, 2022.
Mary, I love your facial expressions!!!! Hahaha. Thank you so much for sharing with us :)
Awesome reaction Mary, loving your content 🤩
A great movie with Sam Worthington is The Ledge. It's one of the type of movies you like.
Hahaha, loved the 80's themed training montage. Keep up the good work, this really has to be amazing in 3d.
Saw that in Imax 3D when it came out. Amazing to see in the theatre.
You should definitely react to the Avatar 2 teaser trailer! It will get you soooo hyped! I know I am!
Oh I liked you doin this one. When I saw this in 3d in the movie theater, all I could say was, "I wanna go live there". You did a good job.
I saw it in 3d in the theater, and it was very pretty, great eye candy, but it did well for the same reason Titanic did. James Cameron knows exactly what his audience wants and he knows exactly how to give it to them. I enjoy his earlier movies more, The Abyss being my favorite, but I respect his mastery of the blockbuster format.
December can't get here fast enough, I am so excited for the second movie.
In 2d on a tv screen this is a good film. In 3d, on the big screen, it's an incredible movie experience. When my father saw it at the movies he said " it's not the best film I've seen but it's the best experience I've had at the movies."
R2D2
My dad said the same.
Sam Worthington was really big for a couple years around the time when this came out. He was in Avatar, Terminator, and the 2 Clash of the Titans movies. He was one of those young actors hollywood execs thought would be big but he never really became the leading man, kind of like an Orlando Bloom. Now he is mostly just a character actor.
Avatar is a thinly veiled indictment of how "advanced" cultures treat indigenous people when they have valuable resources to steal. Throughout history people have taken advantage of "sub-humans" enslaving them and taking their lands. If we found life out in the cosmos, the question must be asked, would we try to subdue others and steal their resources with whatever justifications we could muster?
DANCES WITH SMURFS 💙💙
i think you saw sam worthington in HACKSAW RIDGE. he played the commanding officer who asks andrew garfield to forgive him because he was so wrong about him.
saw this movie 3 times in the theater all in 3D. Not a huge fan of 3D movies but James Cameron made it so immersive and beautiful to watch the entire time. Great story.
I am sure they will re-release Avatar before Avatar 2 comes out, so you will have a chance to see on the big screen.
I LOVE this movie!! I've watched both, and I still prefer the first. I've never been much for the ocean. I'm still in love with the flying scenes!
Some say "Avatar" is an alien version of "Dances with Wolves". I like both!
DANCES WITH SMURFS 💙💙
I see you, Mary. Great reaction!
you watch so many good movies (or at least, a lot of my favs). true detective, avatar, MCU stuff, good will hunting, few good men, arrival....
loved the review 🤠
I raise horses in Oklahoma. They inevitably pass away, but when YOUR special horse, that changed your life dies, you almost can’t go forward. Takes a little time 💔
I also never saw this movie in theatres, but I think it's one of the best movies ever made. I'm so glad you liked it, too.
One of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life, especially in IMAX 3D. I cant wait to see the sequel
You can see Sam Worthington in "Hacksaw Ridge", his Australian accent peeks out here and there. I saw this movie in 3D in a Sony IMAX theater with a huge screen and thundering sound, it was amazing. This is one of a handful of movies I ever bought on DVD. I enjoyed your reaction!
Watching this in IMAX 3D was by far the most incredible movie experience of my life. Nothing else has come close. And as others have mentioned, the 3D was the best ever done. No gimmicks, it just made you feel like you were really on Pandora.
I have a vague recollection of this movie people popular with native peoples. Glad you enjoyed the movie.
I loved this film and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. As for recommendations Sam Worthington was in Everest which is about the actual 1996 disaster. Stephen Lang stars in Don't Breathe (but he's a good guy) and he's also in Tombstone.
there were plenty of 3D movies before Avatar, but this was the movie that reallllly took advantage of 3D technology and it was amazing. i saw it in regular 3D when it first was in theaters, then when the extended version was released, i saw it in IMAX 3D which only made it more amazing and just bigger. the beauty of the CGI is what i really love about this movie. 💙
yes the hair does do THAT. this scene is in at least one of the extended cuts.
The hometree scene is meant to evoke 9/11. Cameron's message being we (the world power) do 9/11 basically every day but in other parts of the world.
I have defending Avatar 1 since day 1. I am now defending Avatar 2 from haters. I need this saga to be completed.
Cameron said that he is gonna make more of these movies if the new ones make more than 2 billion dollar income.
The way of water already achieved this, so it's looking good :)
This was filmed with the latest 3D cameras. Now the cameras are used for educational iMax nature shorts.
Most modern films use a software only process.
Or may include limited scenes with full iMax cameras.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this - I know it gets so much hate, but a movie doesn’t make that much money if it can’t connect with so many people, and it really did.
@@fu6817 you Need a massage
remembered that it was basically dances with wolves, but i also remembered that it was wonderful.
this movie was spectacular in the movies theater. ppl may talk smak about it but god dam the director knows how to shoot a film
i couldnt help but root for the bad guy as well.
The extra-long, 3-disc version is even better! 🥰💙
After seeing this film it made me have a new appreciation for earth.
Is being re-released in movie theatres before Xmas, you'll need to check local press to find the exact date for your location. In the US it's September 23rd 2022. Apparently has been remastered in 4k so a 4k blu ray might be out at Christmas
I think (personally) that it's not just the visuals (as great as they are), but the uniqueness of the story at the time. It really made you feel something, it wasn't just another space movie.
