Currently listening to/watching: Criminal Minds on CBS
Current Mood: Famished intelectually ;)
So..I went to watch Avatar today..and
DAMN
it was good, no...it was A-Freakin-MAZING!
and thats a pretty good review from me,considering that the only other movies that are on my
A-Freakin-MAZING! list are:
- Top Gun
- Transformers Series
- Rush Hour Series
- Unemployed
- AVATAR!
So, without further ado, here be-eth my review of "AVATAR"
Plot 5/5
As this IS a sci-fi movie, I'm kinda already biased, and the cool shiny computers and huge walking mech's and gunships totally didn't help ( the fact that I was already in love with this movie from the first 10 minutes).
The plot contained that everything that anyone could want, Love, Comedy, Explosions, Sadness, EXPLOSIONS.
"Wait.., did he say LOVE?"
Yes, I DID say LOVE, it was a really integral part of the movie, and while some people I've talked to have said
"Oh my god dude, avatar was a friggin waste of time..the love shit was totally gay"
Well, here's a thought bud..its not an ACTION movie, its an ADVENTURE movie, and MOST adventures involve Love!.
Action 4/5
**NOTE**THIS WAS AN ACTION/ADVENTURE MOVIE FOCUSING MORE ON ADVENTURE PART SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU READ
Guns, Gunships, Walking Mechs holding Guns, HUGE Guns, Explosions, and Bows and arrows.....?
HELLL YEAH
Now you may be wondering, if there's so much of all those amazing action thingies that i just LOVE, why am I giving it a 4 instead of a 5?
Well the only reason is , that the action WAS a little far in between, but oh man, when there was action, THERE WAS ACTION!
For the sake of not spoiling for everyone, Im just say this
Explosions,Guns, and lots of Fun
Cast 4/5
The acting in this movie, is to the standard, that could be measured to that of the Titanic.
Oh wait, that was by the same director too eh?
Anyways, the movie was split into , in my opinion, 70% CGI, and 30% Live Action, but in both cases, the cast showed through. While yes, in the CGI Parts, the acting would've mostly gone to the animators and Effects crew, it was GREAT acting, to the point where, through most of the movie, I'd almost forget that it was CGI and indeed real life, THATS how good(the acting) it was.
Yes, I know, my first impression, was.HMM..Funky blue people...this is prolly gonna be lame..but NOPE, the acting was so good it was able to get me past that :)
For the Live-Action parts, Good acting overall, and the military aspect was portrayed accurately.
And thats a good thing considering that one of my
BIGGEST pet peeves , is when someone fudges up the part of being millitary, being a retard and yelling stuff like "ATTENNNN HUUUUUUUH" or randomly running in to a scuicidal mission in the name of marytrdom. No, in this, it was great acting, and seemed as close to real as I've seen in a movie.
THOUGH, LOL, I must mention this, there WAS one marine in the movie, I swear, the only lines he had in the movie were
COME GET SUUM!
Visual Effects: 5/5
Holy JESUS!, you know, I added in this section, JUST because of this movie. The CGI and effects crew in this movie, deserves a FREAKIN "
"OSCARcombinedwithJUNOfusedintoaGEMINIaward!"
What does that mean?
Well that means, the CGI and EFFECTS in this movie was SO FREAKING amazing that
almost MADE ME THINK IT WAS REAL!
and see thats the difference, most movies make you think its "ALMOST" real, looking good, but not good
ENOUGH ,this movie, is the exception, it was THAT beleivable!. The sights in the game are those that are found in an amazing dream, they were SO good, that If i was someone who took E (which I'm not), after this movie, I'd probably quit it just because,the visuals in an E- Trip would suck in comparison to this movie.
So:
OVERALL: 18/20!
Summary: An A-freakin-MAZING movie with guns, love, and so much eye popping-visuals that'll blow the butter out of your pop corn!
