Indeed, for a few people, the desire to stay in that world is almost greater than life itself:

Interesting article. Those who crave Pandora are a captive audience for Avatar-the-game, but the reviews of the game that I have seen are not over enthusiastic, certainly not like the reviews of Avatar-the-film (at least for what concerns the 3D technology used).

It seems they may have missed a good business opportunity. Perhaps they should have invested money to create and promote a top class massively multiuser Pandora-themed metaverse.

I'm sure a "a top class massively multiuser Pandora-themed metaverse." is on its way. Especially if they make a sequel to the movie.

Here is a link to a blog I read sometimes ago. It was written long before I watched the movie this year (that's why before I didn't post any comment here because I couldn't find the link... but yesterday I found it). It's an interesting 'insight', not only about the movie avatar, but about the virtual reality itself... smile
