Default Avatar SE....One word.

Went to see it. And all I can say is. PAD.

The wave of emotion is crashing into me once more, and somehow, i feel the recovery will take longer than it did the first time round when I did not know how to deal with it...


Also, that feeling of abseloute despair came back again when you realise that the film is about to end, and that crushing realisation that you can't stop it, that you have to face reality once more. I hate that feeling.

Technically speaking. P.A.D isn't a word. Its a three letter abbriviation. I'm only kidding.
I didn't get PAD, although, if I hadn't experienced it with someone I love greatly, I think I would have. I just felt incredibly happy when the film ended. I need to see it again however.

Oel ngati kameie...

The SE was like watching a brand new Avatar. I walked out of the theater after a whole Summer of not watching Avatar feeling like I saw it really for the first time. It blew my mind completely. Then days later the after-effects of the film happend...and major emotions poured out of me. The SE caused me to do the same thing you are...having your emotions crashing down in a giant wave like never before.

There was just something about it. Those 9 minutes really kick-started some depression. Just 9 minutes more of Pandora is enough to be a killer for PAD, imagine what the sequel is going to do.
In this I just want to show you how you're not the only one with the same feeling. Again, oel ngati kameie truly

Oel ngati kameie... I hate that feeling when it ends and you end up back sitting somewhere on the wrong world

All I can say is to see it again...

It's like having the world drop out from under you, isn't it?

Tonight's was... Beautiful. Pure. Brilliant. Awakening. Emotional...

I guess most people know at least some of what I've been feeling at the moment...

Just got back from seeing the rerelease again, I feel AMAZING... It was almost perfect in every single way... So beautiful, I REALLY felt a part of the Na'vi and one with Panora again.
I cried so much... at one point I noticed tears were actually running down my neck. I'm fairly sure some ayskxawng (who were making noise at points, the only annoyance in what was otherwise absolutely perfect) noticed me crying... but I really didn't care

Otherwise, all I can say is... I am back, at least I hope so... even if it takes a while to get completely back to how I was, I know I CAN do it
Also, unintentional (I promise, this was instinctual...) win by me:
<@HumanNoMore|PAD> only thing that annoyed me was some ayskxawng making noise during the tree of voices scene
<PhoenixRider> lol
<@HumanNoMore|PAD> I turned around and kind of half hissed, half said kehe
<@HumanNoMore|PAD> that shut them up.

Indeed sir, an epic win.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better ma tsmukan.

I saw it today. It was litterarly mind-bowling. Just plain amazing. Hands down one of the-scratch that... THE best movie I've seen.

But I kinda hate myself right now.

It's cause I just can't show my emotions good enough

Like Tsu'Tey's death sequnce... I thought it was very emotional and sad yet I didn't shed a single tear.

And reading how most of you were able to express your feelings so well make me feel like I'm not a real person...

I REALLY cried with Tsu'Tey's death---And was really thrilled with all-but-one of the added edits--The only one that I didn't really like was the the "introduction" about unobtainum--felt not in sync with the rest...

Next favourite scene has to be the Sturmbeast hunt---HELL YA!!!

I finally saw it after four months of no avatar. The only part that got me emotional actually was at the VERY beginning when the soundtrack has that female vocalist. I don't know why, but I remember that being my strongest memory from the first time I saw it. Sadly enough, that was about it. I liked it but I guess I'd seen it too many times to really get a strong reaction from it. I knew when I should be getting emotional but it didn't change the fact that I just didn't.

All in all, I'm sort of depressed I didn't get depressed =p

EDIT: The very beginning of this track.

My mind was too preoccupied with all the new scenes so I didn't get very emotional during my first viewing either. The Sturmbeest hunt was epic though. I almost fell out of my chair.

If you're anything like me, then you second viewing will be much more enjoyable and PAD will hit you like never before.
