Avatar: I don't really know what to make of this one. Some aspects of the film I really enjoyed. That said, I have had my fill of sanctamonious story telling. The film pushed boundries in many ways but, for me, aspects of the film were almost retarded to the point of naivety. Do we really need to be told by mulit millionaire film makers the route of all evil is a corporate world and the only nobility to be found in life is via primative cultures? Save the planet, protect historical cultures, work a 50+ hour week, bring up a family and feel guilty about every luxury you ever have. I'm off home in my jet now, I might make another $300 movie in a few years telling you how cruel you all are.
OK, rant over. I enjoyed the film, I thought the acting was a bit hit and miss at times, but I thought the landscapes were beautiful. Regret not seeing it at the cinema, but I still thought it flowed nicely and looked great. Some quality action too.
