AVATAR

December 21st, 2009 • Posted in Random Stuff, Recommendations |

AVATAR is a dumb movie.  The screenplay is clunky and dumbed down almost beyond belief.  The elements of talkover are redundant and cringe-inducing.  The message it tries to get across is about as subtle as having a tree inserted into a bodily orifice, and some of the dialogue made me laugh out loud.  There are lots of people saying how crap the movie is because of all these elements.

But…

It was one of the most exhilirating cinema experiences I can remember.  And for that, I can forgive a lot.

I was utterly immersed in this movie.  I left the cinema blinking my way back into the real world, and still dumbstruck by the visual experience.  It’s unlike anything you have ever seen before, and it made me feel like a big kid again.  Go to see it expecting pure wonder instead of an intellectual experience, and you won’t be disappointed.
