    Some people pull down the shutters on their mind when they think they're being told what to do.

    I agree with AMcDonald. Global warmalist rot. District 9 was far superior.

    Got the Bluray, so can watch it without adverts anyway.

    I really enjoyed Avatar, its the only film I have ever bothered to go and see twice at the cinema, as you say the may selling point was the 3D, which made me nauseous during one of the early scenes in the space ship, physical effect from a film, that is rare.

    Its a very simple, popcorn flick, like many say "Dances with Wolves with Aliens", kept me entertained for the duration. Have watched it on Bluray once but did miss the 3D.

    I've not seen it, but might make the effort Sunday evening.

    The we're all raping the planet back story might as well have been shouted in capitals

    It's still zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    But then I thought Happy Feet was expolitative eco propoganda

    Just because somethings popular doesn't necessarily make it a good film
    But Happy Feet was funny.

    The two most powerful nations on earth seem to be hell bent on securing their supplies, I wouldn't give them so much credit!

    I think science will find a way but I also think we'll have to endure some painful lessons during the process.

    Which is what I said Shirley?

    I doubt they'd come looking for oil.

    No I don't, Hawking isn't famous for his environmental stance.

    If we're not plundering our own resources why is oil so feckin' expensive eh?? This planet has been here for 6 billion years and we managed to use up most of the easily available stuff in a single century.

    I thought it was alright and I didn't see the 3D version, easily pleased I suppose.

    I enjoyed seeing it as a showcase for 3D, but as a film it's just dull.
