Characters vs. Time

The pacing left little opportunity to develop characters, but I was not disappointed by Tim Burton's Rendition of Alice in Wonderland. The plot is set up nicely so that it is fresh while still providing a level of nostalgia that connects it with the original story. I'm always skeptical of the Burton/Depp pairing, because it can be oscar-worthy exeptionally well - Sweeney Todd or garbage - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Dahl would have been hard pressed to appreciate that one). This was a good one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Once your eyes adjust...

While the 3D experience still has a few kinks to iron out, Avatar stood on its own as a film.
Despite the many technical challenges involved in acting this movie you don't feel like anyone is trying too hard. You are able to feel the world that all of the characters inhabit. Unlike Transformers, which is also heavy in CG all shots and speedy movement are clear and sharp in Avatar. Once your eyes adjust, you can forget you are watching a movie which, in my opinion, is the best thing about watching movies in the first place. After all of the texture and depth of the world of Avatar wash over you the film's story promotes a consciousness and touches on themes of awareness of nature, ignorance of nature and a resulting conflict.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
