3D movies and awesomeness

I had high expectations, mixed with a few low ones, due to some reviews I had read. But nothing was even close to the experience I just had, watching Avatar!

I'll confess - I'm a 3D fantast, and ever since I saw the adventures of Antoine de St Exupery at Fututoscope in Poitiers about 15 years ago, I've been waiting for 3D movies to hit the theatres. And finally it's here! The two movies I've seen so far, were both among the best I've ever seen. I don't know if it's only due to the 3D technique - I doubt it actually, but I guess I can't prove it. The first one was Up. What a piece of geniousness. The big bird was of course my favourite - you can't get much closer to a Lunicrax than that!!!

The second one I just finished watching, all 2h and 45 minutes of it. Not a minute too long... I know there are lots of cynical comments out there, but in my book, it's a piece of art. The message might be old and used, but judging from behaviour of humanity, we're in constant need of reminders. Oooh, there was just so much I loved in it - visually, it's simply astonishing. The nature, the ideas behind it, the flying scenes, all the little details. A favourite was the dialogue between the scientist (Sigourney Weaver) and the man behind the operations (whatever his name was) when she's trying to describe the research they've done and what amazing indications they've found. The guy doesn't understand what she's talking about, and obviously thinks the scientist is nuts. It's funny how often that happens, eh? Why should I try to learn something new, when I already know everything worth knowing? Down with the trees. Go on polluting the atmosphere. Scientists just follow their own agenda, and do it for the money (?! mighty wrong career to pursue if it's for the money, I'd say...). Well, I digress slightly... :) That's really for another post, if I ever get around to writing it.

Anyways, do go and see the movie, and let me know what you think...

The music was awesome too... I'm still totally in heaven!

And tomorrow is julafton! I wonder whether there's time to make a card... While the rest of the world is getting dumped upon, there's a minimal amount of snow in Winnipeg, despite forecasts promising the opposite.
