Avatar

Tracy and I went and saw Avatar today, we didn't go in 3D but I don't think that would have helped it much. Yes the effects are cool, but this movie (and having seen many reviews online I know I'm not the only one who thinks this) is a Pocahontas/Dances With Wolves rip off with only one sci-fi gimmick to make it even remotely original. Plus there were a lot of largely naked alien folks running around, which I found disturbing. It's not a completely horrible movie, but I'm surprised how popular it is for the fact it hasn't got much in the way of character or plot. It was even a bit boring in the middle section.

Oh well, it was fun to go on a date, and Tracy and I had fun grumbling about it together.
