I figure it's already going to be the biggest grossing movie of all time, nothing I can do will stop that, so I may as well see it in it's intended format rather than download it at some point.

Pretty much everything that can be said about the story already has. Basically it's a shit remake of dances with wolves meets Disneys pocohontas, not an original thought in it's head. The end.

I've seen some reviews around that have the temerity to mention emotion...well I could get more emotion out of the audience by putting a labrador puppy on screen and hitting it with my shoe. Big glowy golden eyes in fear and alarm...that'd be the Navi then. It's the why bother with good dialogue or intense acting, when you can just hit a puppy and get the same effect school of directing/writing. As for drama? Where's the drama in a story told a million times before and with all the predictability of my 11am pre-lunch bowel movement?

But lets be honest, I didn't go to the theatre for the story, I went to see shiny new objects and shit getting blown up in 3D. In fact this is teh 1st of the modern generation of 3D movies I've been to see. Tecnically it's very nice i'll agree. Stunning in some parts. The colours are vibrant, the CGI is seemless, the world is suitably new and shiny...but like HD, after an hour I found i'd forgotten about the 3D effect. And for a moment I had to think, what's the point?

Not of the worldbuilding or action scenes I hasten to add, they are lovely. But instead of a whole movie in 3D? The only time i notice i'm watching HD these days is when I see an older TV set and I think "oh yeah"...but in 10mins I've forgotten it's an old set and am just enjoying what i'm watching. So too for 3D. Every so often something will interrupt and remind me - grass in front of the screen, the beautifully done ray's of light through the trees on occasion, smoke and debris, and of course the arrow sticking out of something. But that aside, it's just a very nice looking digital movie. I can't help but shake the feeling that at it's heart 3D is what it's always been, a gimmick. The axe flying at you, the shark swimming at you, the arrow shooting at you...it all may be much smoother and more immersed, but it's the same toy it always was.

So all in all, a decent blockbuster movie, quite a good action flick, techincally excellent, shit story. Overall a reasonable popcorn brain off movie, that's the usual 30mins to long.
