In 3D, It looked glorious, although as has been mentioned the plot was about as thin as an anorexic who has been run over by a steam roller. Still, I give thanks to the dedicated computer wizards who managed to do such a splendid job.

Two grumbles. Firstly, with movie 3D, there is one focal point, and everything else is relative to this (Either forground or background). If you focus on something other than the designated focal point, it can mess with your head. However, this is inescapable at the moment.

Second. Unobtanium. Seriously. WTF.

I dunno, maybe I am being uncharitable, but i imagine this movie is only good for a couple viewings until the copious amounts of cheese kill you. Unlike Zombieland, which is an awesome movie.

I give Avatar a 7 out of 10. 8 for being gobsmackingly beautiful to look at, and -1 for not having zombies.

berga, out…

I could have started this post by telling you how awesome this movie is, but that wouldn’t be enough. I could have started it by telling you how incredible the special effects are, but that would fall short to the real thing. And to think James Cameron waited 10 year to make this movie. Did his money from Titanic run out? Maybe not, but he has proven again that he is, indeed, the king of the world. You even forget you’re looking at computer-animated actors, and that the dialog is kinda stock (not bad), but none of that matters.

Starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang, Avatar is made to blow you away.

So, how can you describe Avatar? Well, it’s Pocahontas + Aliens + Kashyyyk battle + 3-meter-long elves – spirituality + Ana Lucia from Lost + Bravehart + Matrix + bugs that look like dragons + Hartbreak Ridge – a too-simple script + 3D without exaggerating + The Cavern Of Zion + Awesome technology from the future + Epicness.
