Avatar

Avatar is probably not the kind of movie I would have chosen to watch myself, but my uncle took everyone out to watch this one the day after Christmas. I must say I liked it more than I expected to like it.

It's a science fiction/fantasy film about a place inhabited by blue skinned humanoids. People are trying to get them to move in order to lay their hands on a rare and expensive metal, vast reserves of which lie underneath their land. These people create creatures by mixing human DNA with the DNA of the natives and use the minds of the humans to control these creatures. Makes me wonder, yet again, how Hollywood comes up with all these weird and interesting stories. And oh yes, how they manage to pull off all those special effects.

Interesting film. Definitely recommended.

Well you know, it's not the kind of movie I would actually like and this says that I liked it better than I expected to. By the way, you may be interested to know that we watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on DVD and I fell asleep in the middle of it! Well, not exactly middle, more towards the end, but, well...
