On this special audio edition of Tomato's Ripe Thoughts....
I team up with my dear old dad to review James Cameron's Avatar.
Among the topics discussed are...
Was Avatar good?
Will Avatar translate well to DVD, and does it really matter?
Is Avatar animation?
What constitutes "adult" animation?
Should we steal Sam Worthington's TV?
Leave feedback in the comments. If you haven't already, downlaod my first podcast in the post below this one.
Thanks,
Tomato

True story: I saw this as soon as I got home from seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI would give it 4 stars (out of 5). But you're right about the Star Wars -> Avatar comparison. This movie wasn't really revolutionary, but it did set the bar. People are going to start comparing effects to this, as this is hands down the best effects in a movie.
I read somewhere that 2 sequels are planned if it's successful. My question: How? I can think of no outstanding conflicts left in the story. And it isn't a prequel either.
It's definitely going to break the billion. It's already got $760 million worldwide.
Fun fact to close the post: This was the largest opening for an original film.
I interperated the last shots of the movie to mean that Jake Sully woke up in a new, permanant Navi body. It'd be cool to see a movie just about the Navi rebuilding after the tree fell, but who knows?

Hey, Tomato-
ReplyDeleteThanks for embedding the audio right into your post! I am one of those fans who's extra cautious about downloading podcasts, so this was a great alternative. My daughter and I really enjoyed listening to your review. Since I haven't seen the movie, I can't really add any commentary, but I really liked listening to the way you and your "dear old dad" discussed the movie. My daughter has seen Avatar, and she agreed with you on many points-especially about the lack of a quality storyline.
Even though I don't always have time to leave comments, I want you to know that I read your blog every day, and I promote your blog to other potential readers on a regular basis. Keep up the great work, Tomato!
Mrs. M.
