So this week was a movie-tastic week. I watched three movies I hadn't seen. But I will only review one of them. Oh yes, you know its coming... REVIEW TIME.Avatar
Directed by James Cameron162 minutes
Rated PG-13
After this movie ended, everyone was silent from 1)shock, 2)exhaustion, 3)breathlessness, 4)inability to remember how to walk. Yes, this movie is two hours and forty two minutes long, but boy does it seem longer. If you are one of those who easily fall asleep in movies, then you are merely paying to sleep at the movie theater. But I am not saying that it was good. It was breathtaking. I saw it in 3-D, and the graphics were WOW, but I am sure even in 2-D it should be incredible. But I am not sure if this movie will be such an OMG in your television set... Any whom, the movie follows a former marine who tries to have a new life by coming to Pandora, a distant planet, to participate in the AVATAR project. AVATAR is basically the synchronization of the human neorological system and that of a Na'vi with mixed human DNA. In other words, his mind is put into that of a native of Pandora. The goal of the Pandora station is to attain a rare material that lays bellow the ground of Pandora, and sells for $20 million per kilo. The main stock of the material is located beneath a large tree in which the entire Na'vi colony resides. The purpose of project AVATAR is to gain the trust of the natives to move them from the tree and avoid mass death, and along the way gather information on the biology of Pandora. While participating in the project, the marine befriends the natives, "becomes one of them", and falls in love with one of their own. The plot itself is somewhat complicated, but is also the classic Pocahontas plot. Overall, the plot is a big cliché, but also very creative and human. A lot of stuff explodes, catches on fire, crashes, etc... The last half of the movie proves to be excessive, and when the last twenty minutes of the movie came, I wanted it to end. Yes, this movie will earn a lot of money, win any awards, but the cliché plot, excessive length, and tiresome special effects overwhelm at times. But all in all, it was way worth watching; once.
My score: 6/10-Wolfie

Wait, okay, that was way too long for me to read so did you like it or not, and did you even SEE it?
How about if you read it and find out?
Um, how about no. Hey go vote on my new poll, and don't even THINK about saying what i just said.
Of course I'm not in Kansas! No one lives there! I will now proudly say I live anywhere but Kansas, but in the U.S.! Avatar was, in fact, 165 minutes long and was incredibly awesome in the computer graphics, even in the 2D I saw it in. Anyone who wants to watch it, I recommend you do. But only if you have time, as it is nearly three hours long.
Wow, that IS areally long movie. So other than the fact that it had good computer graphics, how was the movie's like story thing?
Hikari- 100% true
Sharkie- rofl. You mean plot? It was somewhat cliche yet kind of original in some accpects.
