RE: "Avatar ": Accept no substitutes !

Bonjour Bambi B.

So I had the courage to go and see it.
The cinema was counting with me ten people. The best cinema in town, in 3D of course.

The sound is terribly harsh digital and not even in the better DTS format.
The picture luminosity is dark and without the glass much better.
Then there those moment, few for God sake, where the camera zoom, in a very unprofessional way, like TV films of the eighties.
Most un-powerful.
Only few moment of touching tenderness, of humanity who goes down in the visual and sounding chaos.

When Jack Sully is in his let me call it " Solar transformation coffin " it is us, who dream another life that Avatar will take on us.
There are some magic moments with the effects, really baffling, but most of the time, artificial and not fluid, the background look and is like painted paper wall.
The actors well is there acting here beside the word " CUT " in between two scenes, I doubt it.
Then the political message is mix, and I had my own quarrel with myself because of I had to wait until the end to make it clear to myself.
Is it anti - American or only anti Bush?
Is it un-democratic to think for oneself?
So following the orders without thinking is placing yourself in a Nazi context, yes it is.
BUT like Titanic it sunk into a melo melo-
The bad colonialists just get a dictactor...And that is it. Who could ever dare to compare that to the real US situation?

Laughable. As for the story....It is just a cheap pop corn movie who lives for it ( mostly bad ) effects.

I wish I would have seen the future and believed in it.
