The latest buzz in entertainment is the movie “Avatar.” People keep talking about how amazing they thought it really was. Well, I had the opportunity to go see it a couple weeks ago.
First off, I have to give props to James Cameron and the visual effects people. They did an outstanding job and pushed the limits yet again. The bar that was established by Toy Story and then the Matrix has just been obliterated. Mark my words, people will be talking about this movie for years to come. Directors and visual people will be thinking about this movie as they make more.
The story, in and of itself, has been told many times. The version that I enjoyed the most was portrayed in the film “Dances with Wolves.” So, I’m pretty meh on the story.
My favorite part in the entire film is near the beginning as the protagonist is introduced to his boss. Another worker, I believe his name was Norm, says this line very emphatically: “…she wrote the book — I mean literally wrote the book…” Two seconds later, out walks Sigourney Weaver! This allusion to Aliens was by far the most entertaining moment for me.
