Avatar Rocks!

From the perspective of a 53 year old male who is into SciFi anyway, this movie is one of the most awesome I’ve seen in a long time. The special effects just blew me away which is good actually because the ticket price to get in to see the 3-D version had me stunned. I’m no tight-wad but $22 to admit two adults in to see a movie is a bit much even these days. Just glad we took a pass on the concessions.

In any event, all the hype and hoopla I’d been hearing was right on the mark. The best scenes were NOT the ones from the commercials, they were pretty much each scene in this nearly 2 3/4 hour long movie. The special effects were very well done. James Cameron deserves all the accolades he’s been getting from this one. I’m hearing that Avatar is reaching the mark that Titanic did as far as box office receipts goes too.

I know you’ve heard this before but, if you can swing it…you need to go see this movie! It truly is one of a kind!

Movies worth mentioning

My family was kind enough to bestow upon me several DVDs as gifts this past Christmas. I am an admitted SciFi fan and thoroughly enjoy movies/shows of this genre. Whether it’s Optimus Prime (Transformers | Revenge of the Fallen) or Ben Stiller (Night at the Museum | Battle for the Smithsonian), the special effects are what keeps me riveted.

Take the latest release of Star Trek. Totally awesome movie with special effects that just are unbelievable. With Leonard Nimoy making an appearance as the venerable Mr. Spock, the movie brought credence to this latest version of Star Trek and explains how Kirk and company got started.

District 9 was an odd bird as it was based in South Africa (I think) with stranded aliens living in shanty’s and eating cat food like it were caviar for some reason. When a human gets infected with some sort of liquid the aliens have been creating, things turn interestingly stranger when said human begins to change. Change into an alien of all things! Like I said, odd but you have to keep up so you can figure things out. Read the rest of this entry »

Knowing

KnowingTalk about a scary movie with certainty at the end, this was one for the books! To be honest, I am a Nicolas Cage fan anyway but this movie was just plain good. Had me sitting up the whole time waiting for what happens next.

If you’ve not seen it, go! If you have an account with Netflix, rent it! I think you’ll be glad you did. More information plus trailers can be found here: Knowing
