Avatar: A Movie on Steroids

On Friday, I was able to see the movie, Avatar, in 3D. It was quite enjoyable, as well, but it was rather unfortunate that I only realized half-way through that it was in 3D, and thus required the glasses handed out at the beginning. Once I figured this out (by happening to turn my head to the right and see people wearing those awesomely glasses, if you must know), I put them on, and my experience remarkably imiproved. If you go to see it, I recommend you do the same.

The movie itself was pretty interesting. I loved the 3D work done, and not only was the movie prettyful, it actually had a plot, too. I haven’t seen a movie with a plot since…um…well, a really long time. If I had to nitpick (although this is actually a pretty big issue, to me, at least), I’d say that the aliens were entirely unrealistic.

For one thing, they were humanoid to the point of being “primitive” (if they can learn English, I don’t think they’re all that primitive) blue humans. They had rituals, beliefs, a complex hierarchy structure, etc. Aliens would likely be entirely different from humans, should they exist. I mean, viruses could be aliens, for all we know.

When we got to the humanoid aliens riding creatures that look like horses on steroids, I almost choked on my cheese! (Yes, I eat cheese while watching movies. You should try it.) That is so not primitive, and that is so not happening. The whole world presented was like earth on steroids.

And now, in my wonderful habit of repeating a joke until it’s almost like it’s on steroids, I conclude that the movie was on steroids.
