Review - Avatar

Spoiler Danger Low

So, on Saturday, I watched Avatar in theaters. I must admit that I wasn't particularly excited about the movie prior to its release. I was put off by the early trailers that spoke highly of the effects but didn't hint at any sort of depth to the story or characters. But, a couple of weeks ago, a real trailer was released, and that's when I started to get excited.

So, anyway, I was supposed to see the movie at the Thursday night/Friday morning midnight showing, but the theater sold out before I had the chance to purchase tickets. Instead, I went on Saturday with my best friend, his girlfriend, and a slew of her friends. Drama ensued as the other group purchased tickets separately, and they ended up purchasing tickets to the 7:30 showing instead of the 7:00 showing they told me we were going to. After much hubbub, we did finally end up in the same showing. And what a show it was.

Avatar, in a phrase, kicks ass.

Avatar Next Weekend


OK, so now I want to see this movie. This trailer has convinced me. Previously, there were complaints that the trailers weren't showing any depth of character or story (both thtings that James Cameron is known for), but this trailer rectifies that. That, and the fact that I've been looking forward to seeing Sam Worthington in a movie that wasn't trash (ahem, Terminator). Behold, the revelatory trailer inside.
