AVATAR
« on: December 19, 2009, 12:17:54 am »
just got home from seeing the movie avatar and i'll have to say that i recommend it to all.  can't go wrong with a 10' tall woman wielding a knife and shooting a bow.  not to mention wearing a thong.  had sort of a dances with wolves meets rambo flavor.

I heard that the movie was making people puke. Too big and busy in 3D they say.

i didn't see much of a benefit to 3d with this movie.  wished i would have saved the $2 bucks.  i also didn't feel any motion sickness either.  the movie is busy, there was only a few minutes out of the 2.5 hours that i wasn't "sitting on the edge of my seat."   the special effects were so stunning, i actully looked for peter jackson's name in the credits.  didn't see it so it looks like james cameron gets full credit for this movie.

hawk, the movie had a very strong dances with wolves flavor.  even my wife noticed it.  you can't miss this one.

Wow, just incredible. I was really scared that they were going to get so caught up in making all of the neat computer generated stuff and forget about a storyline which seems to happen so much now, but I wasn't bored for a minute. I think this was probably the most seamless display of computer models and real life action, I forgot that it was about 5 minutes after he made it onto the planet. I can't say enough about the artwork in here, just try and forget about the way the bows are treated though :) The only real problem that I had with it was that it ended way to happy, I guess I would have like to have had the impact of what happened in the movie to stick with people and make them think about things, but that doesn't make for a money maker.

i'm guessing the na vi' are 10' tall because of the lower gravity on their planet.  no one escapes from the law of gravity.   had a physics professor come into class one morning.  he asked the question, "if you woke up tomorrow morning and everything was 100 times bigger, would you know it?"  he then left and class was over.

Just saw it in 3D. Cool movie for sure. A little anti human which seems to be popular these days but oh well it was still an impressive movie. The animation was very believable and time just flew by. 3 hours felt like 1 1/2. Cool to see them using bows a lot too.

I guess that's a good way to get out of teaching anyone anything for a day...
