Watched Avatar tonight.

It was a Christmas present, and both Miss M and Impish Girl have a friend over to stay the night. (You should DEFINITELY watch this film with two 10 year olds by the way. Raucous laughter at unintentionally hilarious moments was par for the course. And there was SWAYING whilst giggling uncontrollably. ♥)

Anyway. Thoughts. No spoilers.

1. Gosh darn it is GORGEOUS. (Will someone PRETTY PLEASE make movies of the Pern books now? They could do the dragons perfectly!) ETA: We have a projector, and a big pull-down screen, so we enjoyed the pretty properly. Although not in 3D.

2. Gosh darn it is terrible. I mean, the ‘noble savages’ thing is painful. I wouldn't even know where to begin. *hands*

3. Gosh darn it is PREDICTABLE. I’m kind in awe. I mean, that was 2+ hours without a SINGLE narrative surprise. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Did they use some kind of computer programme to plot it?

4. Hey - they made a film starring Riley Finn! And a whole other bunch of stereotypes (sometimes even casting the actual actors from the stuff they were paying homage to).

5. This is SO AMERICAN I CAN’T EVEN.

6. But it SURE is pretty.

And those are my thoughts.
