Well I was hoping for a full review!..especially as I think you first brought our attention to the movie her e- me anyway!

We are going to see it tomorrow at 3.30. I am sure I will enjoy it, though the snootier papers (The Guardian here) are a bit dismissive. Fuck them though - it will be great i am sure.

I saw a review that said it was all effects and no plot. Is true?
"Her eye was on the sparrow. Her mind was on the dove,
But no one cared and no one dared to speak to her of love.
Her eyes are always hooded. Her claws are sharp as steel.
We teach her not to see too much. We teach her not to feel."

No Katie, it is dances with wolves basically. But regardless of plot seeing it in 3D is mind blowing. I want to go there, that is doesnt exist is devastating.

I think nearly everyone who left the cinema wanted to go there. As so many have said already, it feels like a real world. I've seen some impressive worlds in films, but you constantly know it's a film studio. That wasn't the case with Avatar. It's quite hard to think that this huge and detailed world isn't real. The plot definitely isn't shit, it just uses some classic elements that we've seen in some other stories.

So far all the reviews I have heard about it are great. :woot: We are just trying to find a theatre where we can watch it in 3D.

Looks like my 12 noon Sunday visit to Pandora might have to be postponed - this week's storm of the century is supposed to come through tomorrow and dump 14 inches of snow on my head.
