What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

I tried to watch Avatar last night. I couldn't make it through to the end though, it was just too bad. It looks good, but beyond that, there are few redeeming qualities to the film. I could've watched it on mute and gotten the same experience. So glad I didn't waste the money to see it in theaters.

In my opinion, seeing it in 3-D was the only way to see it.

Unless you have a huge tv....

And I thought the protagonist was awesome, certainly not your typical sci fi action hero.

I just thought the hero wasn't very likable. He starts out as some pseudo-nazi and then becomes a jew. I had little compassion for him.

Maybe that would help. Most 3-D movies just bug me though, but I've heard the 3-D on this film is rather stunning.

I feel the same way about it. I rented it a couple of nights ago and couldn't get through it. The story isn't that great. Sure, the visuals are great, but there really wasn't a story to hold it up. It wouldn't have mattered if I saw it in 3-D either - 3-D seriously doesn't do anything for me. It's still relatively new and I don't think the technology has been perfected yet. Plus, the majority of movies I've watched in my life were not in 3-D and I got through them okay!

If you have the DVD, check out the special features. The actual lines Oedekerk was saying are almost as funny as the real movie...

Actually you wasted your money by not seeing it in theaters and waiting for it to come out on DVD instead.

What was so terrible about him? He was just some guy who was doing his job and got caught up in all kinds of crazy sh*t.
