Even the over zealous expression of commercialism or the over bearing were accepted as being a critical part of the film.But there one technical thing that (oddly enough, I guess) irritated me. There was no way to go back and watch it again, but I'm pretty sure that when the Colonel was killed, he took his hands off the robot controls, trying to remove the arrow/bolt. Yet, with the Colonel's death, the robot TOPPLED OVER! I would have expected such a machine just to simply stop moving and stand there.

IT is sitting at Number 2 right now. See I think a lot of people that talk about the FX being "OK" are missing the point that there are no stages or scenes shot on location outside in that movie. EVERYTHING thing is CG!. They didn't film some cool jungle scene and then put CG bugs and animals in the scene. The waterfall in the beginning wasn't in South America somewhere that they inserted Jake's Avatar into the scene. The ENTIRE EXTERIOR of Pandora is CG!! People fail to remember this because it looks so real. They are talking about how yeah the Avatars look like big blue monkey people and "sure they look real but I have seen this before". No you have not. There has never been a movie that was more fake that looked more real then Avatar. $600,000,000 more worldwide to become the champ and I wouldn't be surprised if this get at least 8 oscars. There has only ever been 2 SciFi movies nominated for Best Picture. Star Wars and E.T. I am hopeful this get the Nod. It is just a shame that the actors will get nothing. I hope at least Sigourney Weaver gets a nod. Well it looks like it made it into the top 10 grossing movies of all time world wide. IT is sitting at Number 2 right now.

In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
