[Another Review] Avatar [No Spoilers]

[mendhak]

But I am assuming you've seen the trailers.

Bad stuff first:
I watched Avatar in 3D. The "D" represents that marks this movie gets for plot. And the story is exactly what you can tell from the trailers: Oppressive soldiers need the land of the natives. One soldier infiltrates, suddenly loves them, and helps them fight back. Well gosh, how original.

You definitely don't want to watch this movie for storyline, dialog or plot - I'm not saying it's terrible, I'm saying that it's nothing special. It's nothing to write a forum post about, as I am (not) doing right now.

You also definitely don't want to listen to the hype that surrounds this movie, I've heard things like "12 years in the making" and obra maestra. Seriously, don't get your hopes up too high. Just enjoy the movie.

Good stuff:
I watched Avatar in 3D. This movie is the best movie you have ever seen in 3D - absolutely phenomenal. Wait, let me say that again. Absolutely phenomenal. If you have a 3D screen anywhere within a radius of 6378 kilometers of you, go there to watch it. If you want to save a bit of time and watch it in 2D, you might as well skip it. So yeah - good graphics, audio-visually appealing. You'll like the blue people and may even have amorous feelings for them. Even the action sequences don't blur too much. Good environment.

One really, really, really bad thing (a warning):
Just when the movie ends, a pop song starts playing as the credits are playing. It comes out of nowhere and breaks the 'harmony' of the movie. It's also a *really* bad song. It was so bad, that I actually came home and looked it up. I don't have a TV, so you might know this already - it's someone called Leona Lewis who won some crap reality TV show and is now really famous, which probably explains why it was added in - to appeal to the audience members who are a fan of this idiot show. But holy Christ, that song was so bad, I'm now impotent.
