My Avatar review
Ok obviously I’m a bit behind, but I finally saw avatar tonight. It was definitely an entertaining movie. A few thoughts:
-
This was my first “Real-D” 3D movie. A few hours later my eyes still feel a bit strained, but it made it a very fun experience. Hopefully that technology will get better soon.
-
The story was basic and predictable, but not terrible. This was really what I wanted the prequel Star Wars to be: a technical masterpiece with an entertaining plot. Oh how far we have come since JarJar Binks.
-
Holy crap it was hot in that theater. Completely unrelated to the film but jeeze I was burning up.
-
It had an unabashed anti-war, pro-tree-hugging message, something which I certainly feel sympathetic to. Sadly the marketing of the movie is likely a small ecological disaster in and of itself. Maybe enjoying the film in a non-climate controlled theater was my way of giving back…
Anyway, the film was good. Still hard to believe a lot of what I saw was CGI. Go see it if you have not. Try 3d if you have decent intestinal fortitude.
