Somebody needs to make a CBS television show portraying those prawns from District 9 going to Pandora to be on "SURVIVOR: PANDORA." Think of the possibilities.
I saw Avatar a coupla weeks ago. I was entertained... but not moved. No big deal... but I do realize it's kind of a new milestone in movie-making the way Star Wars, Jurassic Park, etc. were.
I realllllyyyy didn't like the fact that Cameron's sound engineers just phoned it in and used the sound of conventional helicopters for those twin-rotor thangs. Good grief, I'm sure they would've sounded different with counter-rotating blades in each nacelle. Maybe make it sound like a twin-engined turboprop airplane doubletracked upon itself and speeded up a little. Something... just not Hueys, Cobras, and Apaches thumping and whomping.
I didn't like the tree that glowed and the little floating jellyfish seed thangs. "
OOOOOOooo... ahhhhhh... it's a blacklight poster... I'm awed and impressed."
Some of the motion capture was awkward... I was expecting it to be flawless. No problem... overall it was excellent.
The story was pretty decent and character development was, too... I had no problem with the length.
The floating islands and the overall look of Pandora didn't really impress me, but it was fun to see in 3D. I assume most people here have seen some of the old YES album cover designs and/or are aware of Roger Dean's art.
