I love the Matrix sequels, for which I get no end of incomprehending stares.<br /><br />To me, I don't necessarily need the story to be hugely innovative if it's a classic plot told well.

It's just no...Avatar is not the next Star Wars. It's just not. I love Jim Cameron and I love visual effects and I'm not someone who hates on movies just to be contrary. It's a perfectly solid and entertaining film. But it's not the next Star Wars. It's a technical achievement like nothing before, you forget that you're essentially watching an animated movie and engage with the characters, but take away the visual effects, remake this movie with people in makeup and costumes on a big set, is anyone even talking about it? Probably not, and certainly not in comparison to Star Wars. In fact, without the expensive visuals...it's kind of boring. <br /><br />By all means see the film, enjoy the film, but it's more groundbreaking on the production side than the audience experience side. <br /><br />I do agree with Derrick: their entire religion had quantifiable scientific evidence for the claims they were making. If any religions on Earth had them, those would be good reasons to believe!Dorkmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927199693571387920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-75585514386337687692009-12-20T18:29:53.470-06:002009-12-20T18:29:53.470-06:00@Martin
