Yes, it looks that good. The 3d wasn't cheesy at all and the visuals were stunning. The story got a little sketchy at times, but then there would be something to bring you back, like the floating islands, or the forest at night (which was one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen.) See this thing in imax, it's worth your 15 dollars.

Yeah, bro! It was insane! Maybe the songs were a little weak at some points, but all the shiny stuff and trippiness totally makes up for the recurring lack of musical cohesiveness! And they threw laser pointers out at the crowd! There was tons of confetti and the UFO almost melted my face off! Wayne even got into a huge inflatable ball and rolled out into the crowd! I've never seen such an awesome light show in my life! These guys are smurfing madmen! The guys next to us were wearing really crazy costumes and were going absolutely crazy during "Yoshimi"! What a spectacle! Such a great show! Totally worth the $42.50!

It's too bad the Lips only have the spectacle of their stage show to continue their fame. If only they had some good music too. Anyway I'm going to see this tomorrow maybe. I'm really excited to see if this lives up to reviews.

Watching some of the advertising clips I immediately was reminded of the illustrations Roger Dean did for Yes album covers. Others have seen a resemblance, even an inspiration for some of the scenic elements in Avatar. I've heard nothing but awestruck awesomeness from viewers of the film. Some said it pushes into visual rush overload.

Very true. The 3d really immerses you into the film, and sometimes you'll just sit in awe at the screen.

The story was good enough to justify going for the spectacle, just like a Flips show (one of my favorite bands.) Try again.
Kind of like how the only mention of anything other than the CGI in this thread was you saying that the story was kind of sketchy...until the next shiny thing came along?
Or kind of like how, much like this thread, nobody ever mentions anything but the the theatrics and light show at Flips shows....until someone calls you on it?
I think nitetimeritetime needs to rename the psychobabble thread.
And what's up Mr. Supergirlfriend? I thought you were ignoring me. Maybe you just find me irresistible. Or maybe you're just laying the groundwork before you issue me another formal warning, Mr. Schrute.

Well I thought the amazing CGI was secondary to the epic hero story. I compare the movie to how I heard others describe the Lord of the Rings books/films (never got into 'em myself) in terms of immersing you in this whole other world.

Reading interviews with James Cameron it kinda seemed like this is his intention. As long as this movie is financially successful the next James Cameron movie is another Avatar movie. While I haven't seen it yet, it seems that he was introducing the realm of Pandora in this movie, hopefully fleshing it out even further with a sequel. Did the same thing with Terminator, although that had more to do with budget restraints on the first movie.

visual effects, no matter how awesome, do not justify a movie being good/great. the acting/story/etc has to be good. otherwise we just have another indiana jones(new)/die hard 4 movie.
