ok standard issue Trailer to open



Ok, so i went to See Avatar. The story is about Jack Sully (Sam Worthington) a crippled marine. Whos' brother dies while involved with the "avatar" project. Due the DNA similarities he then picks up where his brother left off and uses what would have been his brothers' avatar. Thing is, his brother was very clever scientist and he is just a grunt.

Anyways, the mission is for Jake infiltrate the Tribe to get them to move their home "diplomatically", so the corporation can mine this mega-rare valuable metal call "Unobtainium" that is directly below the "Home tree" of the tribe. Sully meets (and falls for one of the Tribe) but also becomes one of the tribe and is see as kinda "chosen one" for something. Time runs out and the the Corporation decide to Home Tree by force.

The film is very good but is very very long (3hrs) and there were bits of the film that should/could have been cut. There was like 3 scenes of training/initiation (one for hunting, one for riding and another for flying). Now by the time we got to the 3rd "training level", i did begin to think this is becoming a bit of a CGI wank fest, and that has cost it few stars for me. it is Visually spectacular. I have never seen such incredible visuals since a huge triangle shaped space ship flew over my head some 30years ago.

The story just about hung 2gether, it was a bit "tree huggy" and the environmental undercurrents were too blatant to ignore, and that kinda bugged having this "we are the bad guys and we must do more to save this planet" (especially when Jim Cameron's weekly carbon emissions are probably more than what all of us here kick out in a year)

To sum up, the film was good but i do feel the special FX and the 3D were kinda propping up what i feel was, once you stripped all the "CGI Dick measuring, a pretty bog standard film
If i didnt see this in 3D, i think i would have come a way saying " well...its ok, but nothing amazing"

All in all 7 SkinToxications out of 10, make sure you go and see it on 3D, otherwise this will struggle to be a 6 out of 10

i wanna see it,but not sure if my local cinema at the Trafford Centre are doing it in 3D....nearly 3 hours long has put me off a lot,i like CG films but 3 hrs?...i was just gonna try and catch some shite version on Pogues movie Site

I do really want to see this. I'm sure Haji has it on DVD at the local shop already. But I want to see it in 3D. Don't really know why, just do. I think I can relate to the movie. See, as an American, I'm all about stomping the shit out of the little people to get what I want. LOL! No, I'm not really like that, however it's my job to be like that. Wow, I'm just cracking myself up today.

i saw this tonight...Skin,your review is spot on


the 3D is alright nothing mega 'mazing...its my first 3D film as well(10 fucking quid they charged 'cos it was a 3D film!!)...some of the 3D put me off while watching the film,i am certainly in no hurry to rush to my next 3D film

although Alice in Wonderland and Dreamworks' How to tame a Dragon looked pretty great(they were some of the trailers before the film)...oh and Toy story 2 in 3D,but the trailer showed fast moving scenes,and in 3D the trailer really did not work

back to the movie,i reckon if Jim Cameron really wanted to make a film that would break all the rules,he would of had

click after you see filmClick for read!

 Humans winning...well,why not?

[Close]

but in the end it just felt like a big budget space version of Ferngully:The last Rainforest ....hmm,or a space version of Dances with Wolves,maybe

but yeah,you have seen the trailers,you have got a fair idea of the story.....take any other film and you can fill in the gaps of the story you are missing


good film,but 10 years and half a billion dollars(okay 300mil)......i give it a 7 as well
