Just finished Christmas shopping, dinner with an ol' pal, saw a movie.
If you have seen any reviews of the movie Avatar to this point (as I had) the reviews were pretty spot on. Avatar IS Dances with Wolves in space. Weak story told a hundred times. The 3D and "special effects" were really good but the plot was really tired. I'm keeping the 3D glasses cuz I look really cool in them, however unless this is your first movie ever, you have seen it before. Trust me.
I'm kind of a sucker for billion dollar Sci-Fi stuff and from that aspect the flick was swell. Otherwise it was the usual Hollywood pap. The ending was really sad (spoiler coming) as the capitalist were truned away from a very lucrative mining opportunity by the 10 foot tall indigenous blue hippy monsters. I was perhaps alone in this opinion among my fellow movie goers. The love story sub plot seemed to work out and one tends to have to be happy with that... politics aside. (the 10 foot tall blue hippy monsters were 90% naked and super hot throughout the whole movie. (one thing worth cheering for anywho)
All in all... a swell day off was had by yours truly: finished shopping, watched some football, nice dinner, saw a OK movie. For what it's worth, if you planned to see Avatar in the theatre for the whole 3D experience and all that, I'd say don't let my review stop you. All in all it was worth the dough. As much or more so than any other recent Hollywood production anyway. I'd give the whole experience a solid Obama grade of B+. :-)

I had already read a synopsis and pretty much figured out it would be a preachy POS.

heard there's a lot of leftist political shit in this movie.

Capitalist pigs invade planet to rape it of it's resources, while the "beautiful , friendly , Natives" are slaughtered. Doesn't sound leftist to me. :sarcasm:
