- Amit Kumar Shah3d agoBest movie ever love Pandora world beautiful movie
- The Movie HaterApril 11, 2025I don't like movies. This one isn't an exception.
- Popcorn2455d agoA nearly perfect film that while thin in the depth of plot is a masterclass in world building. The CGI stands up for the most part and its messages resonate. I'll come back to rewatch the series several times.
- Miguel Gaudencio7d agoForm over substance filled with cliches from start to finish.
- Nimrod TýrJanuary 8, 2026It's the best movie of all time
- ርልዪረJanuary 26, 2025Have, despite having bought both the original release on Blu-ray plus 3D, and indeed the extended version, always, since its development wanted the 2009 Avatar on the 4k format. Strangely because of the delays in releasing The Way of Water, I haven't watched this one for several years as I wanted, though delayed, wished to watch the two on 4k back-to-back over a couple of evenings, at last I am able to. Often felt this the first in the series to be the best visual movie ever made, and have wondered how near visual perfection could possibly get even better even on the 4k format, truth is, both Blu-ray and 4k are an incredible watch, the constant special-effects simply stunning. The film tells of how former-marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) now disabled replaces his twin brother who had died on the Avatar programme on the moon Pandora. Mankind (The Sky People) are, without regard for the inhabitants of the planet, mining for the valuable mineral unobtanium, destroying the habitat of the Na'vi (the tree people) Jake's task will be in infiltrate and gain trust of the tribe to benefit the mining company. Jake's first encounter with the tribe will be with Zoe Saldana as Neytiri daughter of the Omaticaya clan's leaders. Neytiri will take Jake to meet her people and will be instructed to teach him of their culture and beliefs. Jake initially remains loyal to the mining company and its military leader /security Colonel Miles Quaritch, (Stephen Lang) bur, eventually grows to love Neytiri and her people and indeed their way of life However, the ruthless Colonel believing he can win, in effect makes war on Omaticaya clan. Jake has to decide where his loyalty lies. Also starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine, an exobiologist and head of the Avatar Program. And yes, I am watching both Avatar movies over the weekend. This, the first, is in my opinion the better of the two, though both visually stunning movies are in my view 'A MUST WATCH'
- HumptyFebruary 23, 2025Took me a long time to like this but this is a really good movie the story and scenery is breathtaking even if the Director isn't.
- usasandAugust 23, 2025top favorite movies, Great animation and story. Action is superb
- yves-carmineJanuary 1, 2026The opening act to one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies (for now) of all time. Nothing can recreate the emotion I felt the first time that I watched this movie at 15, and nothing can simulate the excitement I felt waiting the decade for the second film to release in theaters. Thank you James Cameron, and Lightstorm crew and team for all your hard work and creativity that went in to making one the most important movies in my life.
- ThéoJanuary 6, 2026The best film ever
- ayayronFebruary 23, 2025To date this is the greatest technical achievement in IMAX
- Omar OteroJanuary 1, 2026Amazing movie! Holds up very well to part 3 in 2025
- parktool69December 1, 2025pretty cool for 2009
- Doc WormDecember 30, 2025Basic ass plot? Yes. Uninspired script? Indeed. Heavy handed messaging? Absolutely. What Avatar is at its core is pure unadulterated spectacle unrivaled by very little even 16 years after its release. How many fully realized original fantasy worlds have you seen brought to life? And at this scale? This is why Avatar is truly special. James Cameron just wants you to turn off your brain and watch some cool shit on a big fucking screen. I felt it was worth it to do so.
- StreetterOctober 19, 2025I never understood the hype for this movie. It's just Pocahontas with blue people.
