I personally have NEVER seen the Titantic and I probably never will just because I thought it was lame in 1999. It's probably exactly the same reason and you know what? It's totally irrational. It is probably an awesome movie and it would change my mind if I saw it.
For Avatar, I really was not sold by the posters and trailers and the blue people/furries. It all looks like crap on a TV screen or computer monitor and I had low expectations for it. Personally, I would go as far as saying that it's not worth watching on a small screen. It has to be seen in 3D at the least, and in the largest screen possible (IMAX) because the film is more about the visual experience than any story or narrative. I decided to watch it since I am a fan of Cameron and I wanted to see what the fuss was about with this 3D technology he had been working on for 10 years to get to this point and it changed me completely after seeing it.
Watching Avatar is like taking a ride on a rollercoaster. It doesn't look like much from the ground. You have to get on it and ride it all the way through. Watching Avatar on a TV screen or monitor at home in 2D would be like watching a rollercoaster from the ground. It's a visual ride moreso than a film that I would say is a must see, but because it's such an awesome ride, it's something that you should definetely do.
