Those are worth the watch, IMHO! I don't agree with everything he said, but mostly I think he's spot on. Be careful if you watch, he does spoil the whole thing.I finally saw Avatar last night, in 3D... Somehow, I managed to go into it almost completely ignorant of the story, and only saw a couple of early previews. I knew there were alien blue people on another planet, that James Cameron directed it, and that it is now the highest grossing movie ever made. That's it. It was very different from what I expected, and the first words out of my mouth were "I didn't know it would be so violent." I am dismayed to say that there were several children under the age of 8 in surrounding seats, and several of them cried audibly during the more violent parts. Why do parents insist on bringing their children to such movies? I remember being traumatized by far less violence in movies I saw as a child. Not to mention that I just paid $22 for two tickets to a movie so that I can watch and hear IT, not your alternating between chatty and crying kid.
It is a visually stunning film, although the 3D elements were mostly distracting, and the glasses annoying. I would like to see it again, without 3D.
