Just around the Riverbend...

Or at least that's what I kept expecting Ney'tiri to start singing at some point while taking in John Smith...err... Jake Sully. I mean, I don't know who used this variation on the Legend of Pochantas first considering Cameron wrote the outline for this in 1994 and Disney released their version is 1995. However, either way it's great story telling done right with timely ideas for this era. Recommend seeing this one in 3D IMAX if possible.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Signifying, not nothing, but not much either.
This is the standard disaster film that shows human nature at its worst and best when crisis comes. Roland Emmerich is an expert at destorying the (fictional) world and making us want to come along for the ride. Plus it's always interesting to see how he intends to destroy the White House in his disaster films (Blown up, Flooded and Dropping an aircraft carrier on it).
My complaint, as always, seems to be on the character side, in this case building a relationship that would be a very positive example of two men making the best of a bad (if common) situation and reach out to each other as unlikely friends for the sake of family only to have one of them written out in the end. Not cool.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As a long time Star Trek franchise fan, I was skeptical when hearing about another Star Trek. So when I left the theatre yesterday after having seen the new re-versioned Star Trek I was happy to say I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more from the cast and crew.
The movie may not have had the 'vision' of a peaceful future as much as the prior incarnations of Star Trek did, however, it started as an action based sci-fi flick and stayed that way throughout. Character development was integrated rather nicely and in such a fashion that it did not detract from the story flow.
It's Star Trek so the story is somewhat predictable, however, it was also very, very enjoyable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
