'Avatar'...didn't get to see the 3-D, unfortunately (sold out), but this movie lives up to all the hype...really felt like an "event" movie. Spectacular visuals/effects, story that keeps you on the edge of your seat...basically has it all. I'm not a big Si-Fi movie fan, so I went to see this mainly based on hype/curiosity and it blew me away. James Cameron is a genius. I'll be going back once the crowds die down for the 3D experience.

In short, go see this movie. 10/10

Avatar Review: Yes, It Changed Everything After All - Avatar review - Gizmodo
I don't expect you to believe me if you haven't seen the film yet. I, myself, was a huge skeptic until a few hours ago. Blue people? Papyrus font?? What the fuck happened to dinosaurs and light sabers and killer robots from the future? Did we use all the cool stuff up?

But about 30 minutes in to the film, you realize that the marketing has undersold the movie. In an era when every great moment of a film makes its way to a trailer, Avatar surprised me with an endless amount of unparalleled optical overload. Every single shot is just so full of detail that you literally open your eyes wider to take as much in as you can before each cut.

Also, while shots of the Na'vi (the blue dudes) clearly deviate from a 50/50 balance between real footage and CGI depending on the scene, their body animation, even for motion capture, is unparalleled. While their faces and eyes especially can appear a tad cartoony at times, the overall effect is not done justice by YouTube trailers or that shot pasted above. Call the effect hyperreal or even unreal, but it's certainly doesn't look "fake." I don't know that I've ever witnessed complete humanoid models move so realistically, especially given their exposure (in both screen time and skin).

After 2 1/2 hours in the theater, I am exhausted far more than the same amount of time playing an FPS would make me, but Avatar was so remarkable that it was well-worth the work of watching it.
I still can't imagine popping on a pair of glasses to watch the evening news after a long day of work, and I sympathized for the guy sitting beside me as he started rubbing his eyes about halfway through. As someone with a slight uncorrected astigmatism, my left eye was ready to fall out of its socket by the final climactic sequence.

Not sure lovely is the right word...but it's one hell of a lot of fun. :wink:

Japanese schoolgirls in uniform with chainsaws...you just can't beat that.

Finally just watched Step Brothers. Most of my friends hyped this to be the funniest movie out, yet I found it to be underwhelming.

6/10

Weird. We watched Step Brothers last night, too. Would have been a lot funnier drunk.
