It Ain't Star Trek

As a sci-fi action junky I was tantilized by the idea of Avatar but it just doesn't measure up. There is no contest for special effects. This new technique in film making has everything to make a viewer part of the action. After an hour it isn't enough. Diving off cliffs, racing through tree branches, riding huge flying creatures or earth bound ones is thrilling until it gets old, then there needs to be a story of some sort. This movie has only the barest of plots it is well worn and old hat. If you translate the story into a political statement against imperialism or corporate greed then it takes on a sliver of meaning. But really, with all the money invested in the special effects couldn't they have spared some for good writers?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Love Harry Potter?

If you love Harry Potter do not miss this movie. It moves the saga along and enters the darkness of adulthood by involving the young wizards in romantic conflicts. The terrors of the outside world enter Hogsworth, not in the person of teachers, this time, but as evil and niavity.
The 3-D IMAX effects were spectacular, I only wish the whole movie had been shown that way. Quiddich in 3-D would be amazing. Be prepared to cry with the death of a major character. Granted the film runs a bit long, but it is all in the service of what is to come.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
