This has to be a troll, but still

I was there just thinking and crying for about 15 minutes before an usher asked me to leave. I told him I never wanted to leave and he was confused for a second. Then he said I had to go and if I wanted to see this "crappy movie" again I'd have to pay for another ticket. Well to cut to the chase it got a bit heated at that point and we ended up in a shoving match. The police officer who took me out of there didn't seem to care either. When I told him he was a tool of an oppressive society that is destroying the world he laughed at me. Now I've got a charge against me for public disturbance but I don't care. Hopefully that jerk usher got fired.

The next day I saw it at a different theater in 3d. All of a sudden the world was as real as my own. At the end I stood up and started telling the people that they were the bad guys and were killing the Na'vi everyday with their western society. I said look at Afghanistan! I got cussed out and had a soda thrown on me but I wore those like a badge of honor, I felt like a Na'vi standing against human oppression and sickness. I just wished I had a weapon at that point and could have fought like Jake did. Jake was so strong. I began to wish that I could be like a new Hitler, only instead of exterminating one race I'd do the whole human race then shoot myself at the end. My mom always said I get too wrapped up in this stuff but she is an idiot who is just as much part of the problem as every other American. I told her when I got home and she cried but I don't care anymore, I'm 35 and I can do what I want in my room and don't have to take any "medicine" if I don't want to. Did the Na'vi take pills to "get better" Did the Indians? Nope. I just wish I could stop thinking of this; it's more than a movie. My Mom used to think I was too into WoW but that was just a game. I quit playing and told my guild wife there to just forget me. This feels real, that is just stupid now. I don't even really want to go into work.

  That is epic.

[hooplala]

I don't even know what the Na'vi are, but I want to kill them after reading that.

The real question is, is it worth it if it's in 3D and you're blazed out of your mind?

[Captain Utopia]

I'll let you know in about 5 hours after I get back. Last thing I saw in imax was AI... it's been a while

Yes, but you need to be really blazed. The 3d tech they're using is cool, but still not super mind-blowing. Plus it'll cost you extra. The funny thing is they tell you to turn in your 3d glasses at the end of the movie so they can be "recycled." More like sprayed with cheap disinfectant and re-sold. They're making bank of the glasses alone.

This may be a little off topic, but the premise of this movie seems to be borrowed from a short story "Vaster Than Empires and More Slow" by Ursula Le Guin. Any one here ever heard of it?

Depends.  Is that the same as "Pocohontas" ?
