  • This is the entire reason as to why it took 13 years, absolutely Incredible
  • @eileenkr507
    First of all, this is the most visually stunning piece of work i've ever seen in my life and I don't think anything will ever come close. Not a single second boring and the effects were just mind blowing.
    But can we also appreciate Sigourney Weaver for a second? There's a woman over 70 who's determined to do all her stunts and all the things the rest of the younger cast do and she casually just learned how to hold her breath for 6.5 minutes. She's incredible and I love her to bits!
  • Kiri face expressions under water were so joyful. I loved the scenes when they all smiled a lot, or when loak does his Stunts with the tulkun, this was so infectious!
  • @fiiiig
    I loved every second of it. Every person that helped create this masterpiece deserves an award.
  • I walked out of the theater after watching this movie in 3D completely entranced by this whole other world. I will forever long to visit Pandora because it just feels so real and so alive. It hurt being slapped with the reality that this world is make believe. James Cameron and everyone who took part in the making of this movie are true artists.
  • @em0shorty
    you can’t say this movie wasn’t an emotional cinematic masterpiece
  • @katiluuux1342
    just walked out of the cinema with tears running down my cheeks. that movie was an EXPERIENCE. not only did it bring back a crap ton of my childhood memories, but it literally gave me tips to relieve anxiety (the breathing technique the clan uses) one of the best movies i have ever seen. avatar will always be my favorite
  • @-LadyFawn-
    Both Avatars are masterpieces. The values and lessons that were promoted are what the world needs, especially in the West. Everyone had a role and a way to contribute, the family unit was valued. Themes of forgiveness, spirituality, culture, and care for the natural world were all beautiful focal points. I'll gladly wait another 13 years for the third installment.
  • @laylabarker
    This movie has changed me in ways I cannot imagine. This changed my heart. This was pure beauty and raw art.
  • @sawboaz242
    Really good. They made this movie from the bottom of their hearts and not just only for business.
  • @SiiaAne
    71 and still kicking butt! Yes Sigourney Weaver! And what an absolutely breathtaking movie to do it in.❤
  • Its gorgeous how much passion the director has for his work. It was obvious watching the movie that there was so much fricking effort put into everything by everyone.
  • @Sturb100
    I was worried I’d get bored as it’s a very long film, yet in 3D with non stop action and incredibly realistic water scenes you almost want to just watch it again straight away.
  • Wow, the amount of exercises in that breathing training and how much endurance you need, it's just so incredible how strong they became in their breathing. So strong.
  • Anyone watching this that hasn't yet seen it in theatres...DO IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATRE! It's a great film & a great story but as a visual spectacle it is one of the most amazing theatre experiences of all time. Thank you & congratulations to all the cast & crew who worked on this epic. Off to see it a second time tomorrow.
  • The beauty in this movie was just out of this world. I found myself crying sometimes out of the gorgeousness
