- AVATAR - The movie about blue people!

Just seen it with Zan, and for my part, being a much bigger sci-fi geek than her, really had a blast.

That movie is mindblowingly beatiful to just look at, not to say having a very nice yet simple storyline which i cant help but think is about making us remember how far us humans can go in the name of Greed.

Not going to say more than that, cept that the movie gave me everything i expected, and so much much more. Hope everyone gets a chance to see it!

I am planning to see it this week! The trailer sure looks stunning
Was gonna see it yesterday in imax 3D, but we cancelled because all public transport was pretty much absent due to (a little bit of) snow! (makes me wonder how they handle public transport in norway and such.. here everything just.. stops. :/)

tbh i found it to long. freaking loved the colonel there tho XD. he is so stereotypic you couldnt hate him
edit: if you saw pochahaunta (or whatever way its written) you didnt miss anything really. same story

Hehe, i would not say its the same story as Pocahontas.

But, like 1000 other movies its alot about human greed and what lengths we're able to go to in the name of money. Which was also the case in Pocahontas.

Just like there are a 1000 movies about a "good guy" and a "bad guy" - "happy endings" and the like. Movies are to entertain and all follow a certain "script" for success, else people would not like to watch it. Realistic movies where the good guy actually dies are of a younger age, but strangely, that good guy kicks plenty of bad guys ass before he dies...at the very end of the movie. So in short its just the same story as any other "happy ending" movies, just that the good guy dies. The rest of the movie would be the same.

And as such, yes, ofc you have seen similar motives in other movies as you do in Avatar, but what makes a movie good is not just the storieline, but the execution of it. The scenery used for each scene, the characters, how well the actors play, how realistic the animations are, how believable it is, how well the movie can make you relate to it and a million other factors. I think Avatar is a very good movie because its a "old story" (human greed) but done differently and executed very well.

(Yes, im no use discussing with because i've already seen it twice at the cinemas - and yes, there is going to be a thrid time too once i get back to Tromsø, or possibly the IMAX in Oslo)

meh i dont know it was something about it that i hated maybe it was all the stereotypes or something. cant put my finger on it but i didnt enjoy the movie
