Finally Saw "Avatar"
James and I realized today, that the movie "Avatar" became available to rent. The obvious, is that we rented the movie with full expectations of it being great. And it was!
For those who haven't seen it yet, I will try not to ruin too much... but I do want to point out a few interesting parts of the film. The first, the movie is really about the army and military who go into space for five years, find a planet that is habitable as long as they have breathing masks. There is life on this planet, more than meets the eye! A lot of fascinating creatures grace the screen, and even had me saying "Is that... a jelly fish? No, its a pixie. No wait, its... what the hell is that thing?!" :D
At one point in the beginning, you discover that mankind has made a machine/robot of sorts. James stated, "Man, can you imagine how far we've gotten, and how far we have to go before we can build one of those things?" (Referring to the machine, that coincidentally, looked a lot like a Transformer). My response: "Fuck those! I want a real avatar!"
Awesome movie overall, and it gets 2 thumbs up. --and a third if I had one!
