James Cameron's "Avatar"

Postby Boikat » Sat Dec 19, 2009 10:43 pm

I still have to keep picking my jaw up off the floor.  If you haven't seen it, please do so, you'll be glad you did, even if it costs a bit more than your average movie.

Face it, most of us here are CGI fans, and the CGI aircraft and "critters" in Avatar are so realistic that it's hard to believe they are CGI.  Being 3D is icing on the cake.

The only thing "bad" (and that depends on your point of view) I would have to say about the movie, and it's not really bad, is that if you saw the animated movie "Fern Gully", you pretty much know the plot.  Personally, I did not go to see the movie for the plot.  I went for the special effects, and came out totally satisfied.

Oh dear, as per Fern Gully is there that awful tree cutting machine with the greasy smoking inner working that scared my sister and I as children?  ;D

I am hoping to see it very soon, did you see the 2D or 3D version? I am not sure which one we should try out but it does look excellent!

If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

In a land far far away :P  :D :P


Amsterdam is for tourists and country folks ( yes even a tiny country such as the Netherlands has them)........ Though my favorite record store is also there. I much more prefer Rotterdam actually.
