I just came back from a great show. Caught the movie at AMK Hub with the guys. I was embarrased since I was late for dinner when I was supposed to be the closest. LOL. We were talking and planning for our trip to Australia next year. Well, if anyone's available of course.
To talk about the film, it is indeed a masterpiece from James Cameron. Visually stunning and spectacular. Great use of computer graphics, motion capturing and facial capturing. Actually, at some closeup shots, I thought I was looking at the real life actors. They even paid attention to Jake's disability. Sam Worthington's legs were animated to look skinny like someone who lost his mobility would. The only downside has to be its very predictable plot. Technology versus nature. Losing humanity to be free and to be with the one he loves. But I kinda like the idea about things have to be linked to be as one. Even riding a horse needs a link. Not much funny scenes though. The only that got us crackling has to be the semi-nude scene and Jake went on to step on someone's tail. Just a rant though, why does the creatures has double limbs? They look like the normal animals except they have extra limbs or eyes. Seems like a weak attempt to design a new creature.
Finally, anyone who wants to watch it, please clear your bladder before entering the theatre. It's quite a long movie yet not draggy. Fast paced, exciting and beautiful sceneries. And of course, the soundtrack is great too. Very emotional at times too. Well, in short, don't miss it. LOL.
