Line for the next Avatar showing. by peachy92

Today, my father, Beth, Ben, and I went to see Avatar today. In 3-D. At the IMAX. For those in the Atlanta area, seems there is a new IMAX screen at the AMC Barrett Commons 24 in Kennesaw. The screening we went to was sold out. We bought our tickets yesterday for today’s show.

It was a nice movie.  It is one you have to see to understand.  No words I can use to describe the experience of the art in the film.  My family joked that they will never be able to see another movie in the standard way again. I enjoyed the night scenes on Pandora.  Pure eye candy for me.  I wanted to kill Giovanni Ribisi’s character, Parker Selfridge, with a bullet straight in the forehead.  Everytime Colonel Miles Quaritch was on the screen without a mask, I kept waiting for 4 minutes to pass by.  I could recognize CCH Pounder as Mo’at, but I couldn’t remember the actress’s name.  Michelle Rodriguez was actually likable in the film.  I never did care for her in other things I saw her in.  Sam Worthington needs to lose the standard military hair cut. Just not flattering to him.  They also did a good job of making him look like he lost use of his legs.  My dad asked was he really crippled. I had to remind my dad that Terminator Salvation was shot after Avatar.  Sigourney Weaver’s Avatar looked like her.

While not a life altering movie, I am speechless in describing it more without spoiling it.
