The movie, Avatar

Finally DB and I went to Great Clips IMAX at the Minnesota Zoo for our Avatar movie. We went yesterday, Sunday, for the 11:45 a.m. showing. Even though I bought my tickets at work, I still need to stand in line to at the ticket booth to get a “real” ticket. We thought we were early since we got there at 11:20 but dang, that place was jam packed. The line to the cinema was so long….waiting to get in took about 10 minutes after we got our “tickets”.

We were given the 3-D glasses, I called them the 70′s bug glasses. The theater was busy with kids and adults looking for the best spot, I guess. There some kids around the age of 8 and above. Since it was first time at a 3-D theater, I was all pumped, couldn’t wait for the show to get going. Of course before each movie, there’s movie trailers…all in 3-D…schweet!! The next one I really want to see is The Space Hubble.

Avatar finally came on 10 minutes later….this show is a must see again. It got my attention for the whole 3 hours.  The kids in the theater were quiet….not a sound from any of the moviegoers.  So worth the $13. This movie is a definitely all Oscars. The visual effects, graphics, the technology used to make this movie is spellbinding. Of course with the 3-D effects makes everything stands out much more. 

I thought the 3-D effects will bother me but it didn’t. I wasn’t jumpy like how when something flys right infront of you and you try to avoid it? The only one part that got me good was when the Marines threw smoke bombs to the bottom of the big tree. It felt as if the bombs were thrown directly at me!

So, yes, all the raving, the great credits of Avatar, I will add my rave too, this movie is worth a second go. It’s mind blowing!  Even when i watch the making of the movie, I watched it a few times! That’s how good the movie is. I think I’m more fasinated by the making of the movie than the storyline. The story line I saw on the web said is similar to “Dances with Wolves”, or I see as the same as “Pocohontas”.  And movie reviewers on our radio talk shows said there’s big time racist in the movie.  I will shut my pie hole on this topic.   This movie is well rooted, in my opinion, and gives you the lesson of respecting and value what you have and also the differences in the world.  Big corporations with big bucks do not mean they can get their way! :0

DB and I will probably see this movie again with SD and BF, when, I’m not sure.  That’s how much we both think of this movie!
