The CG was the best part!
Which events?

xD
Even though it was cliche and such, it was executed really well! With the CG.... and one really did get immersed into Pandora!

To be honest, a lot of my issues with the movie had to do with the main character. Too much the jock, no brains and all brawn. I'm kinda disappointed that he switched sides not because he changed or learned anything, but because he fell in love with Neytiri. It came off more as him wanting to keep a fully functional body and his hot girlfriend than his trying to defend a wronged people. It was also very much a "one white guy saves the whole world" thing, which I twitched at, and the whole deal about being chosen by Eywa just made me want to hit something. I couldn't see any character growth that I could point to as being proof that he deserved anything he got in the end; it was all romantic development. Also, I could predict what would happen next throughout the whole movie, and not a single one of my predictions was proven wrong. =__=" Plus, Trudy didn't have to die. The CEO guy probably should have but didn't. The concept was good, but the execution needs a lot of polishing.

I liked the fact that the last blow in the final battle was delivered by Neytiri though. I mean, if you're going to do supremacy of paganism, you'd damn well better do it right. :lol:

Wow, my long rant. :stare: But yeah, the CG art was beautiful and realistic. No wonder it cost so much to make. XD"

@ Hatake : Aww! :'< I hope she realizes soon that she is worth attention she's getting then! =O <3<3

@ Xiel : When did you start your Christmas vacation anyway? :x <3<3

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 05:03 AM

My last final exam was on December 18th, so vacation started on the 19th of December. =3

Hatake Ayumi 12-29-2009 06:24 AM

True, it was predictable, but he went from a "follower" jarhead to a leader. And there aren't always pure or selfless reasons for rebellion. The death of Trudy I frowned at. And the CEO dude should have been more severely punished besides two scenes of guilty faces. The execution of the idea may have been flawed, but the execution of the effects and acting and stuff? Perfect.

Lol, but they are doing goooood with the sales.

Ryl: Me too!

Luen: Are you starting up again Jan 20?

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 06:59 AM

Not so much the reason for rebellion, but what I mean is that I feel like he didn't earn any of the respect or rewards he received in the end. My friend was like, "He didn't deserve that body. It would have been a good twist if he didn't wake up at the end." My answer was, "No, that would have completely wasted the movie for me. If he hadn't woken up, he wouldn't have had to take responsibility for being an idiot in the first place. This way, he gets to fix the damage he allowed to happen." But yes, the acting was good. =3

I'm starting on January 11th. =)

Rylynne 12-29-2009 09:50 AM

@ Xiel : Then you really do have a longer break. D: Vacation for me started on the 19th as well. :3 <3<3 Even if I didn't have any classes on the 18th and just went to school for the annual lantern parade and some parties. xDD;;

@ Hatake : You can help her realize it then! XP <3<3

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 10:37 AM

Aww... Well, I hope you enjoyed yours, at least. =3 I still wish my break were longer, actually. XD"

Rylynne 12-29-2009 03:12 PM

At the very least, I did enjoy it~ :3 <3<3
My break is going great so far. :'D

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 03:40 PM

That's good to know. I think I'll be spending the rest of mine camping on Mene. XD"

Rylynne 12-29-2009 04:01 PM

LOLZ. xDD;; Have fun then...? 8DD;;
As for me, it depends. ^^;;
I definitely should cash in my event items soon though. >.<;;
I mean, I have almost 750 Frostings I haven't touched. D; </3

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 04:03 PM

I will! XD"
LOL. Yeah, you might want to do that now that the ovens are working again. XD"

Rylynne 12-29-2009 04:49 PM

Yeah, b-but I'm so lazy! D: And I dunno if the ornaments-ribbon glitch is fixed yet. >.<;;

Luenola Marxiel 12-29-2009 06:29 PM

I couldn't tell you that either. <3 Holidays are the season to be lazy. XD"

Hatake Ayumi 12-29-2009 07:40 PM

If they made it realistic, the movie would have gone on forever! Not that I would have complained.
xD;
I pushed my 3D glasses up my nose to see better so many times I had a mark from them.

Hrm, my college course is starting Jan 20th... Or at least that is the time we have to pay and get remade into college students.
xD;
Just shows how lazy community colleges are I guess!

Ryl: I hope I can!

Luenola Marxiel 12-30-2009 01:01 AM

That is quite true, lol. Oh, you went to see the one with the 3D glasses. My parents always said they are very bad for the eyes. Well, they're optometrists, after all. XD"

Haha, I think it starts on a different date depending on location and the college. They also end later, I think , if they start later. =3

Hatake Ayumi 12-30-2009 01:03 AM

Bah, My eyes are terrible as is.
xD;
They are getting worse too. Baaaah.

Mmmm, my course ended the same day as yours.
But who knows? It's an easy course for me anyways.

Luenola Marxiel 12-30-2009 01:31 AM

Aww! So are mine, actually, but at least I'm not legally blind without my glasses yet. :stare:

LoL. Ah well. I don't pretend to understand the American education system. XDD"

Hatake Ayumi 12-30-2009 01:39 AM

What's the standard for legally blind?
xD;
I think I'm close to that.

Rylynne 12-30-2009 04:36 AM

@ Xiel : Very. xDD;; Although last night I cashed in about half or a little less than that of my currency hoard. ^^;; Just so I wouldn't be too pressured later on and stressed from exchanging. xDD;; <3<3

@ Hatake : I'm sure you can~! xDD;; <3<3

Luenola Marxiel 12-30-2009 08:13 AM

I have no idea, Ayumi, but I'm guessing it's something like when you can't see more than one inch ahead of you without your glasses. XD"

LoL! Good idea, Ryl. These goodies do take time to bake, after all. XD"

Rylynne 12-30-2009 02:56 PM

Yeah~ :'D <3<3
Still have a gazillion frosting left though. D; </3
...
I never thought I would be so annoyed at currency like this! >.<;;

Hatake Ayumi 12-30-2009 05:20 PM

Luel: ... Well, I'm not there yet.
xD;

Ryl: Why so annoyed?

That's definitely a good thing, lol. XDD"

Rylynne 12-31-2009 05:36 PM

@ Hatake : Because I'm too lazy to bake all my currency. DX </3

@ Xiel : See above reply to Hatake. xDDD;;
