An Epic Film
Avatar - As Seen By Shaun
So I went to go see Avatar the other day, and let me just say, “Wow“. I had eavesdropped on many people talking about the movie and how great the special effects were, but I was still left amazed by James Cameron. The special effects were really awesome. And blue.
I liked the blue people, the Nav… Navel… Nav’i? Whatever. They were really good and… lifelike, and… cool.
The action scenes were pretty good as well. And the acting was also quite good. The directing was really good too. And the storyline was good. Oh and the 3D? Yes, that was also good.
So yeah, all in all I would give this a Steve O rating of 5, which is the highest Steve O rating ever.
The end.
…
Sniff.
Mmm?
What was that?
You think my review was weak and vague?
You’re implying I didn’t actually see Avatar?
How dare you, I am really offended by that. You have insulted my integrity.
Hey?
Why are you asking me about the ending now? I know the ending, I saw it. Don’t try and catch me out.
…
Okay, FINE - I DIDN’T really see Avatar yet. You got me, well done, give yourself a hand.
What? You HAVEN'T Seen Us Yet?!?
How can I watch it though? Every time I try and book a ticket, it’s completely sold out. I’ve tried Cavendish and Canal Walk (the only two cinemas who have it in 3D - I don’t see the point in watching it in 2D at the Labia theatre. That would be an epic fail)
However, despite it now being more than a month since it opened, I am still greeted by the following screen:
Avatar - Sold Out. Again.
I usually hate having to sit in a full cinema, as I hate other people, and usually will go and see a film just before it ends its run in theatres. (remind me to post my latest movie review on The Hangover - it’s a beaut)
However, I’m going to have to make an exception here - I pretty much just want to get to see the film in this life time, preferably from a middle seat near the back though.
So if you have been lucky enough to see the film, was it as good as the hype suggests?
Should I bring along a fresh pants? (I’ve been told that the sheer awesomeness of the special effects will have me shitting myself)
Can anyone confirm this?

Definitely bring an extra pair of pants and a helmet because it will blow your f**king mind! It’s that awesome…in 3D.
Hahaha, fantastic review. Like the time i watched Bruno. oh, what a waste
It is so worth it. At least the 3D.
The plot on the other hand is Pocahontas with 10 foot smurfs with USB.
I enjoyed it in 3D. Some people actually stood up afterwards and applauded.

Dude, Tygervalley now has a 3D cinema up and running too - Avatar in its full glory (though you’ll have to cross the boerewors curtain to get there I suppose!)
