Randy says it all

The big question surrounding the visual marvel that is Avatar is not what most critics have cited. Really, does it matter that the main focus of this film was on the visual effects over creating the most intricate and airtight plot that ever existed? Absolutely not! What matters is the question regarding the attractiveness of the lead female alien. Most importantly, do you or do you not find her attractive? Clearly, one would have to say that if he (or she. We are living in the 21st century here) were living on Pandora and happened to be of the Navi race, that yes, the lead female character is indeed very hot. Now as a human, it is a more difficult question, mainly because she is at least ten feet tall and could rip your throat out with the flick of her pinky. If you can get past those major issues, it could be said that she is indeed quite attractive. This is clearly the question on everyone’s mind because everyone knows that the garbage about the plot not being up to snuff and the film relying solely on special effects is a complete waste of breath. Of course it is a special effect heavy movie; that’s what it was meant to be! And, in all fairness, the plot was fine. It wasn’t the most spectacular thing ever written, but it was entertaining and it did what it was supposed to do: provide a reason to unveil these incredibly stunning visual works (which I was unable to fully appreciate because the theater does not yet have 3d projectors. I will keep my fingers crossed). All in all, the movie was highly enjoyable and held my attention for the full 2 hours and 40+ minutes of action. I almost peed my pants at the two hour mark because I couldn’t bring myself to go to the bathroom, but realized I couldn’t hold it for another hour. When I watch a movie that does officially make me pee my pants because I can’t stand to leave and miss a single second, I will let you know. Don’t hold your breath. Despite being inundated with details about the movie and how amazing it was in 3d and that I shouldn’t watch it at a normal theater, I could not have asked for anything more. I was entertained to the extreme and found little to nothing to complain about. Eat it Titanic.

  1. i understand your point about the plot not being the center of the movie, but does it still deserve all the best picture hype for just special effects? i understand that you haven't gotten to see all (any?) of the other best picture nominees, but i would argue that a film that merits a best picture oscar needs to do more than provide a stunning visual experience. best pictures should be able to hold up over time and i think technology is changing so quickly that soon it will look antiquated.

  3. I disagree. I thought the plot was just as good as some of the other nominated movies. Plus, I think I will always remember those hot, alien boobs.
