This is the entire reason as to why it took 13 years, absolutely Incredible

I don’t see this movie as a movie, i see it as art

[eileenkr]

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!

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

I watched it in 3D yesterday, It was breathtaking.

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.

I loved every second of it. Every person that helped create this masterpiece deserves an award.

[sawboaz]

Really good. They made this movie from the bottom of their hearts and not just only for business.

[emshorty]

you can’t say this movie wasn’t an emotional cinematic masterpiece

[romnickjerusalem]

This is not just a movie. It's an experience.

[dilrukshanj]

This is not film it's another world ❤

[SiiaAne]

71 and still kicking butt! Yes Sigourney Weaver! And what an absolutely breathtaking movie to do it in.❤

[strangerthanfiction]

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!

[drywalleater]

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.

[datbishboo]

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.

[Sturb]

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.

[kitchmariano]

The underwater scenes on Imax is so amazing. Never seen it on other movies who are overly fake CGI effects.

[oghoghookundaye]

The beauty in this movie was just out of this world. I found myself crying sometimes out of the gorgeousness

[lis]

This movie represents more than a movie. It represents the love of family. And all the sacrifices one is capable of making in order to protect the family. Without a doubt this movie is my favorite.

[nwamaduemmanuel]

This is clearly the definition of passion and not focusing on the funds it's gon bring back.

This is mind blowing and I'm a fan right from when the first AVATAR was launched.

Kudos to the team!
