Avatar: A Concise Appraisal

And by "concise" I mean "quick but too big for Twitter".

Point 1: The 3D is brilliant and a huge leap forward in movie-watching. It's not perfect but it's a lot better than the red/green shite. It didn't overpower the movie and there were a few wow-moments.


Point 2: The first half of the movie was quite enjoyable as the Navajo Indians, or whatever they were called, were being all 3D and doing 3D stuff while not letting the cowb...erm, I mean the army in.


Point 3: Then at some point the blue monkeys became Afghanis and the army guy became the greedy corporations under George Bush. He was all "shock and awe" and "yeehah, we'll kill 'em all". However the head Afghani\US Guy\Man Called Horse told the natives they had the advantage 'cause they knew the desert better and mother Earth (I think she was called Enya) provided IEDs in the form of hammer-head rhinos and the Afghanis won, but not before a fight scene between the head Afghani (who was US-as-it-is-today) and a man in a robot suit which made me spontaneously shout "GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BITCH".

Then the theme from Titanic came on and we fucked off home.

Overall score: Sappy Hollywood Bullshit With Great Effects/10
