Trailer: YouTube link A review: YouTube link I sort of don't want to see it, feel that I probably will, and am dreading the 30minutes or so of travelogue in the middle of the film (if Avatar 2 is any kind of a guide!) |

Never got around to the first two. So, why bother with the third? |

It is probably damming with faint praise – but they are better than the Transformer movies. The selling point is the spectacle – the stories are paper thin, the characters interchangeable, the emotional connection very close to zero. The CGI is pretty impressive, but I wouldn't argue that that is sufficient reason to bother. It will be a huge hit though. |

I'll see it sometime over the holidays. Agree with 20thmaine's opinion on the series. |

Absolutely no interest what so ever. None. Nada. Zip. |

Critics say it is better than #2.
Even so, a movie with spectacular visuals but a predictable story really isn't worth the effort to go & see. |

Saw it last night – and my thoughts exactly – better than #2. I'm a little surprised that the new "mad max – Furiosa" tribe were tolerated for so long… But (no real spoiler here) it is spectacular when they the bloody humans get what they deserve…. My greatest fear – the "visit pandora" travelogue – was kept quite brief, and the new cruises they offer in the air-cruise ships do look quite fun, I expect an exterior cabin is quite pricey though. |

I saw it. Way better than the second movie, although not as good as the first. OTOH, it was WAY TOO LONG! OMG 3 hours and 17 minutes plus all the pre-movie nonsense. I had to run to the rest room twice! :) |
