Avatar - The Movie

<< < (10/39) > >>

RayB:
Just saw it too today. In 3D but not Imax size. I'd say it delivered the entertainment. The blue people are very well rendered (excellent facial expressions etc...). The movie is very much "Pocahontas" but still worth seeing. 4/5

Only real gripe I have is that the 3D depth appeared greater in interior shots (those that included real people) and then the big wide shots of stuff like copters flying over scenery, where you'd expect real deep 3D "spacing" didn't have enough.  

PS: The problem I have with M Night Shamalamadingdong's movies is that once you've seen a couple, they are pretty much all the same. It's always some weird thing going on, and then he directs everyone to "act real scared... so scared you freeze in place, and can't talk, or only talk in whispers". Seriously, that's like all anyone ever does in his movies "to build tension" but it comes off a little fakey.

Anyone who liked the general premise of "The Happening" should watch"The Trigger Effect" (1996). Some similarities, but the focus of the movie is on the people, and how society breaks down in the face of a serious event and no communications / structured government there to keep the peace

Signs was alright until the climax.  Aliens were much more fear-inducing until we saw how frail they were.

Village was alright as well.

The Happening was just bad.  Who in God's name directed that?  I know Wahlberg's a better actor than that.  The only positive note came from watching that was realizing where SNL came up with that skit with him and the animals.  The acting was funny when he was a teacher, (which really wasn't even believable,) but after that, it just didn't work.  At all.  And he acted that way the entire movie.  Plus Ramalamadingdong's movies are supposed to have a twist at the end.  There was no twist.  They discussed that possibility early in the movie, and that's what it was, yet it only lasted for a certain duration???  Weak.

The same guy who directed Signs and The village.

 I gota Agree.

 Village was alright.


 There really are not many movies made today that I find worth watching at all.
Many of them are beyond pointless.

 The village let your imagination run wild, and then yanked the carpet out from
under you.  At first, I will admit I was a little disappointed at the ending.  However, when
thinking back upon it, I feel the movie really was able to tell a good story...
and have that story really draw you into it.

 Id watch the Village 10x over the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Talk about smurf poo.

 I also really liked Unbreakable.  Great story. Great ride.  What a shocker of an
ending.  Loved it.


( I couldnt get into Signs however... )
