I saw it in IMAX 3D. I really liked it and plan to see it again. As far as I am concerned, it is a game-changer. I am an incorrigible divx downloader, but this kind of film will bring me back into the cinema.

Though the plot was simple and predictable, I found the virtual world very creative and highly entertaining. Definitely a must-see for anyone who likes Sci-Fi.

Loved this show. visually amazing yes the plot is one that has been done repeatedly but well worth the money to see it in 3d.
hate that everyone has to over analyze and put societal context into it. I know it begs this but the concept of suspension of disbelief is one that I wish more would take part in. Honestly you can twist nearly any plot to sppeak to whatever cause you wish, this one is just easier than most.

Great Movie. Did anyone else notice the fan worms and jelly fish things? Kinda made me wonder if he is a diver?

My 5 year old commented on that too.

Some of the other 'plants' really looked like palythora to me too.

I won't be able to see it until it comes out on DVD. My wife is not a Scifi fan AT ALL. Last Scifi movie I took her too was Lord Of The Rings, I damn near strangled her!

Tell her it is a movie about the environment

& a love story. That might help. & I think I saw ome "zoos" in it too.

You really need to go to a theater for this one.

I think a lot of his inspiration came from the depths :-) Before, during and after the Titanic move he spent a lot of time "researching" the Titanic which took him diving with lots of gadgets. In fact, I think he even made a few oceanic documentaries (not including his titanic documentary). Don't forget also that he wrote and directed the Abyss which also required lots of underwater "research". All in all, I'm sure it was no accident that Pandora looked the way it did :-) Way cool and I too loved the movie. Felt like I was on an acid trip while taking a stroll through a reef.
