Re: Random movie talky stuff.
So, Madre and I went and saw Avatar today, in 3D. Previews didn't really stick with me until talking to friends later. Percy Jackson looks good, Wonderland looks good, Pirannah 3D I could do without, Shrek 4 and the, uh, what is it? Despicable me? I think I'll pass.
Avatar itself...
I liked it. Great movie. Could see the plot coming, but that's getting rather commonplace these days anyway, even without all the talk and the hype and the hooplah. Pretty movie. Wasn't wholly "immersed" as some people claim, but I did find myself wanting to reach up and brush things away that were floating in front of my face *laughs* I laughed, I cried, I "oh shit" "holy shit!" and "damn!"-ed quite a bit. Best, most phenominal movie ever? No. Kickass action romp through a fantasy world that made me laugh, cry, and "holy shit!" that I would go see again if given the chance? Yes. Will I buy it? Probably not. Was it worth seeing? Yes.
I guess I can't say much more than what has already been said about it. Just sharing my impressions, at any rate. I guess about the only thing that disappointed me (and sorry, spoilers!) is that Michelle Rodriguez has a sucktacular track record with keeping her characters alive in movies I've seen her in. Although she did provide me with one of the best laughs in the movie. Probably going to go put that up in epic quotes next, heheeh.
