Well I see that in 3D..Simply awesome movie..I also heard that
'Avatar' replacing 'Titanic' in record books
"Avatar" was on the cusp of replacing "Titanic" as the biggest movie of all time after it logged a sixth consecutive weekend as the top choice of moviegoers worldwide, distributor 20th Century Fox said on Sunday.
The total for James Cameron's sci-fi spectacular rose to $1.841 billion, just shy of the seemingly insurmountable $1.843 billion racked up by the director's "Titanic" in 1997-1998.
Already "Avatar" claimed the all-time international total with sales to date of $1.288 billion, eclipsing the $1.242 billion haul of "Titanic."
In North America, it may have to wait another two weeks to sail past the $601 million total of "Titanic," the News Corp -owned studio said. Moviegoers in North America and Canada have chipped in $552.8 million, enough to replace 2008's "The Dark Knight" ($533 million) as the second-biggest movie of all time.
Data are not adjusted for inflation, and "Avatar" ticket sales got an additional boost from premium pricing for 3-D screenings. Imax Corp said its big-screen engagements have sold a record $134 million worth of tickets worldwide.
The biggest movie of all time in North America -- adjusted for inflation -- is 1939's "Gone with the Wind," with sales of almost $1.5 billion, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. "Avatar" ranks at No. 26 by that measure.
During the latest weekend, "Avatar" earned $36 million in North America and $107 million internationally, far outpacing other offerings.
It was trailed in North America by Screen Gems' new supernatural action thriller "Legion" at No. 2 with $18.2 million, while Warner Bros' Denzel Washington drama "The Book of Eli" slipped to No. 3 with $17 million in its second weekend. Screen Gems is a unit of Sony Corp, and Warner Bros is a unit of Time Warner Inc.
Two other films opened in the top-10: Fox's Dwayne Johnson family film "The Tooth Fairy" at No. 4 with a promising $14.5 million, and nascent studio CBS Films' Harrison Ford medical drama "Extraordinary Measures" at No. 7 with a disappointing $7 million.

Seriously, Avatar? Dumb name.
I was just thinking about the title of 'Avatar' and how of all names Cameron could have possibly given that movie he chose 'Avatar'?? Seriously, it's such a dumb name.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
Obviously to me, it wasn't so possible for all those 20-foot-wingspanned Na'vi "birds" to take down thousands of gunships. I mean, arrows vs. missiles?
The birds would get ra*ed. All those machineguns? All the stray missiles hitting the ground, yet with all that grass and fauna, nothing would burn down?
In quite clearly shows how they were pwned, in the movie.
The ships had to fire line of sight. The ships were not nearly as nimble as the flyers.
Also, it's not as though they were winning. They started to get their butts kicked and "Eywa" saved them by sending tons of animals that completely overwhelmed them.
That was far from being "unrealistic", in terms of forces versus forces.
There are far more things to call unrealistic about Avatar than the "battle" scene.

April fools joke, for sure. The date on that is April first.
The first clue that that was a trick was James saying he started on the script before the first film was done. He never said that. He said that he was thinking about it and wants to write a script.
