BASE Jumpers must see AVATAR 3D!

Ok... I just went to see this film again for the second time, in IMAX 3D, just to be sure that I was not over-rating it.

Paying close attention to detail, and waiting for the specific scenes that I referrenced previously, I can once again assure you, that this film will ROCK YOUR WORLD!

If you do not reach behind you looking for your Pilot Chute, then you are not paying attention!

Lowcountrybase wants to see this movie for the first time...and dont worry because lowcountrybase will be muttering "pretend its a basejump, pretend its a basejump" throughout the whole movie. Lowcountrybase will surely agree that its going to feel like a basejump after lowcountrybase watches it in 3d at the Imax.

Hopefully lowcountrybase wont have to deploy his pilotchute because lowcountrybase wont actually be base jumping..rather just sitting in the imax theatre thinking lowcountrybase is on a basejump

Lowcountrybase should wear his BASE rig in the theater so that Lowcountrybase can make his virtual BASE jump more authentic. Just be sure to check for nut-unders. Virtual nut-unders are no laughing matter.
And be sure to swipe the 3D glasses on your way out. They make a real BASE jump more real.... you read that on the internet so you know it's true

To me, Avatar has nothing to do with base, but having seen in it in 3D it is one of the best movies I ever saw, so did my son and wife. So, go see it!

I liked it. And if you didn't think you were base jumping then you're dumb. It was exactly like base jumping and really cool and fun to be in such an exiting place with other people who you could turn around and look at all wearing funny glasses. ... that was a pretty good runon sentence... So if you want to experience pandora, all you need is a pet dragon or a parachute and a cliff. It feels the same. Exactly.

Edit: I did actually like it and would see it again on IMAX 3D for sure. I didn't care for some of the story but enjoyed the graphics quite a lot.

I loved the way Dream Walker Jake as a Na'vi synaptically connected to a flying Toruk grabbed hold of double rotor helicopters and tossed them into fiery crashes. Astounding demonstrations of biological entities defeating human exoskeletons (brought back memories from "Starship Troopers").

Saw it in Imax 3D this weekend. Two thumbs up. If you haven't seen it in Imax 3D, go find a theatre and do so immediately. It's well worth a couple hours drive and a $25 ticket, if that's what you have to do. I happened to be in a big city over the weekend, and caught it at a matinee for $9, but having done that I'd gladly drive a couple hours to an Imax theatre and pay more just to see it again.

Graphics were amazing, the not so hidden political and left wing messages were annoying at best. Evil corporations... wait a second, didn't James Cameron borrow $500 million from the evil corporations to make this flick? With that aside, this is the future of movie making. Truly stunning.

This is a fact! James Cameron stated in an interview, that he will ONLY make Digital 3D Films in the future! This is his technology that he invented for AVATAR, so be sure he will continue to use it for future projects.

Thanks. I did a base jump a couple days ago and it felt just like flying a dragon off a cliff. If you don't think base feels like flying a dragon off a cliff, you are dumb.

I've been in theaters in developing countries where people have poor English skills. They don't get subtle plot developments.

They do understand Baywatch, Arnold films, and other eye candy. Basically, the lamest Hollywood stuff is the easiest to understand.

Thus the formula for a worldwide blockbuster tends to be a simple, familiar plot + stunning visuals.

It sounds like Sigourney Weaver made a friendlier version of Alien...

Re: [boachanoff] Script Re-Do's

Your link was funny, thank you.

Fast & Furious is just Point Break, but
with cars instead of surfing and jumping.

I could give you dozens of more examples
because I see many, many movies... but
basically saying this is not a new trick.

FYI - wife and I are going to see the flick

Re: [BASEwish] BASE Jumpers must see AVATAR 3D!

I saw Avatar yesterday in I-Max 3D. I though the movie was great, and the visuals were awesome. I kept waiting for the moment where it would resemble a BASE jump, but I didn't see it. The only thing in the movie that made me think of BASE was when the guy said something about feeling the wind and pushing against it.

As far as the story line being done before, how many movies can you name from the last ten years where that isn't the case.

Where were you during the scene where they were perched on the side of the gigantic cliffs on the backs of their dino birds? You must have been in the lobby getting popcorn when they launched?

Read the entire thread guys! 90% of everyone else agrees that it resembled a Base Jump! You few 10% who complain that they did not get it, really must have been asleep or in the Men's room taking a piss!

I guess the way you see it, is if it is not video from your helmet cam, then it is not an acceptable substitute? Avatar was just a movie. There were some scenes that "SIMULATE" Base Jumping. If you couldn't see it... then you missed out on the fun!

I was reaching behind my back, while in my seat!
