Avatar. Another movie that I don’t want to sse.
Presumably he means "climactic," unless global warming is more of an issue in the movie.
I thought the movie proved that Sully, even though now an AVATAR, was still a MARINE, a good Christian, and a good American.
Excellent on-target review of an anti-American liberal pukefest.
I also root for Marines in general, making us modern day heretics.
The Ewoks were bad but this is infinitely worse.
The decadent aristocrats of eighteenth century France used to play at being nymphs and sheperdesses in the formal gardens at Versailles.
This is the Hollywood equivalent.
You know you’ve lost it with Hollywood Ca. when you find yourself rooting for the villains in their stupid movies. I was rooting for Daniel Day Louis all the way in Gangs of NY.
This is SO sad! I love Sci-Fi, I LOVE Special Effects, I love a good Movie, and I LOVE innovative film making. But as soon as a movie gets “preachy” (in ANY direction) it is ruined for me. This one sounds particularly manipulative, not to mention idolatrous. I loathe an agenda-driven script!
This is one I will be sure to miss. (sigh)
To Phil Kline:
“Call me unenlightened,”
OK, you are.
” but when I see a Marine battle an anvil headed beast called forth by a planet-god — I root for the U.S. Marine.”
So did those who saw it, and guess what Phil ,(I can guess you haven’t seen the movie), the Marine won.
I will see it in DVD , eventually. I like to oause these left films and adress the screen with a string of unmentionable explicatives.
It sharpens the mind to debate liberals/lefties and win.
True. But with much better graphics.
And to see it at IMAX in 3D is even more astonishing.
BUT, it is not to be taken in literally.
I don't understand the insistence that this, a science-fiction movie, should have anything to do with reality.
The message I got from this movie was NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO STEAL FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
I believe that is in the Bible.
The “marine” turned traitor and fought and killed his fellow Marines. That’s why he’s the “hero” of this commie movie.
And what high tech, high budget movies are there with positive American themes coming out as a counterbalance to this movie? None. Epic fail by the monied conservative intelligentsia for not even getting into the field of battle. We need hip, edgy, high tech movies that subtly promote traditional themes. We need a major movie studio/record company/tv production conglomerate that caters to non-leftist writers, directors, actors, etc. Not to try to overtly sell a political view, but to subtley and artfully portray themes that will find their way into the cultural zeitgeist.
My inlaws saw it, and came away with the message that the US is wrong. They are your typical dopey independent voters. This movie clearly has an anti-American message.
The good news is, the Avatar video game bombed big time in both the US and Europe.
Good!
What’s wrong with Ewoks? Weren’t they helping to fight big government with the rebels?
