I liked it even better the 2nd time. *Spoilers* MonCul Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 12:23:50 AM
Some quick thoughts...

The music is really good. There's a tune they use when they blow up the home tree, and afterwards when the tide of the battle turns and the Na'vi are falling back and dying...french horns maybe...very similar to a tune from Star Trek The Wrath of Khan that would play when Khan had the upper hand. Good stuff.

The CGI in 3D is so good you feel like you're there. You can easily get emotionally involved with the Na'vi characters.

A unique experience.

Avatar is basically Return of the Jedi, at least the part on Endor. But less militarily plausible Cannoli - 19/12/2009 02:22:35 AM 1063 Views
