I thought it w...I agree with you on the storyline. I thought it was a pretty weak plot, with cardboard characters. I mean, I would hope that people are not as evil as that Marine guy was. He had absolutely nothing to redeem him, which made him an unbelievable character. In my opinion, Avatar's storyline was a LOT like Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest which came out when I was younger. Most people don't remember that movie, though!<br /><br />Thus, since the story wasn't that exciting to me, I thought the effects were amazing. I saw the IMAX 3D version and was blown away. I think 3D can be really distracting sometimes. I often will look at whatever is coming out at me instead of at the main action. Or I'll take my glasses on and off to see what the screen looks like. But in this movie, it just added a lot of depth. And the IMAX, to see all those details magnified- was really great.<br /><br />I also don't want to see Sherlock Holmes, but for different reasons. I can't imagine Sherlock being a sexual being, and Robert Downey, Jr. is quite sexy for the character! Also, what's with all the stunts?! Not at all like Conan Doyle wrote it.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952400607386754611.post-38971039690802800062009-12-31T14:14:16.106+11:002009-12-31T14:14:16.106+11:00We didn't see 'Avatar' in 3D. Neverthe...We didn't see 'Avatar' in 3D. Nevertheless, the plain ol' flat screen version proved to be quite visually exotic. Didn't feel any positive vibes however for Cameron's blue people - certainly not to the same degree ET seemed to be a warm & fuzzy alien creature. <br /><br />Cameron's 'Titanic' was the hook that drew me to his latest creation. In fact, I wasn't even aware he'd directed other sci-fic movies until after viewing the film. That knowledge beforehand might've dissuaded me from seeing Avatar. Maybe I had hopes of being transported forward in time, rather than backward, to a luxurious sinking space ship where Leonard DiCaprio would suddenly appear clad in a tuxedo. It's really quite amazing how two films with the same director's imaginary vision could be so completely different from each other. <br /><br />That said, I was happy to have taken the journey to his dream-like alternate universe of blue people. And admission was only $8.00 with a huge screen, and perfectly clear view thanks to staggered seating. Actually all in all an entertainment bargain. <br /><br />Oh yes - Sam Worthington's American accent...he totally fooled me. As someone else mentioned, it certainly did sound flat which made me wonder where in the MidWest he'd been born...little did I know he might've been born in the Australian MidWest:) Sam's another Aussie cutie -- must visit down under asap:)Ricrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837529281561239268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952400607386754611.post-81906433104693461322009-12-31T07:53:11.244+11:002009-12-31T07:53:11.244+11:00I don't blame you Avalon.

I kinda had a bad feeling about it going in but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. <br />The tall blue Navi are drawn with native american influences apparently, and the corporation's insensitivity to their way of life is blunt and brutal. My partner doubts that society is still so ignorant but i disagree; there are still countries where human life is worth very little. Maybe these themes are explored more competently in movies mentioned on your blog.Starhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301510892391837760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952400607386754611.post-69878227560640430532009-12-31T07:03:29.279+11:002009-12-31T07:03:29.279+11:00Ooh that's so cheap $7.50

(If I'm on the fence, I usually wait for it on dvd.) I'll probably see "Avatar" in the theatre only if my husband wants to go. (The next one I want to see is "Young Victoria."

Divide the cost of the movie by each frame and it's still $$. But for all the expense there's not enough heart in it for a 2nd movie person like me. Maybe it comes down to how you relate to your surroundings, through facts and technical details or through emotions/relations? IF this is it, I don't think either is right or wrong, but I know which movie I'd rather watch!Starhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301510892391837760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952400607386754611.post-80973349929770783012009-12-30T01:06:26.325+11:002009-12-30T01:06:26.325+11:00"Do you appreciate attention to detail in vis..."Do you appreciate attention to detail in visual style and setting?

I do appreciate detail, but when I have to focus on the detail to appreciate the movie, it's already failed. <br /><br />My 21 year old daughter, who is a writer and who saw it in 3D, HATED it. She said, "Almost three hours and 12 bucks? No thanks." Definitely saw the second movie.<br /><br />My 19 year old saw it last night, but I haven't talked to her today yet. She's the artist/photographer in the family but also a writer.

There's not THAT much depth of field in the picture. I think I noticed the 3D-ness for all of 10 seconds before settling into the movie - mind you i'm a 'second movie' type. What's important is to see it on a big screen because there's lots of detail in the forest you'd miss out on a normal tv set (unless you have a monster tv). I saw Journey to the centre of the earth in 3D earlier this year and that was very worthwhile.<br />My partner tells me the Avatar 3D computer game is utterly superior in its 3D effects because there's more gradation from foreground to back. There isn't so much of it in the movie.Starhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301510892391837760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952400607386754611.post-34367731860332073362009-12-29T17:50:31.839+11:002009-12-29T17:50:31.839+11:00I haven't seen this yet, but I suspect from th...I haven't seen this yet, but I suspect from the "Avatar" reviews I've read, I'd probably see the 2nd movie while my husband saw the 1st. I live in a small town that doesn't have an IMAX... all of the things I've read say, "Worth seeing in 3D! or Be sure to see in 3D!" So I'm wondering if it's even worth seeing "Avatar" in our local non-3D hillbilly theatres.Nat at RA FanBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444335092896254805noreply@blogger.com
