someone mentioned the game adaptation... it seems to be getting good reviews so far.

Whoa boy. I knew things wouldn't get pretty if Sodacake got a hold of this thread.

Anyway, this film might not impress the critics (those guys suck anyway) but I think commercially it's a safe bet to say it's gonna perform admirably. This is James Cameron, in 3 decades he hasn't had a commercial failure yet (not including his debut film, Piranha 2, lol), Abyss was his least successful but if I recall, even that film did pretty f*cking well.

Also, I'm often very cynical when it comes to CGI, they rarely ever wow me as much as more traditional special effects did, but what I've seen from Avatar so far has managed to do that, the detail and animation done on the aliens looks incredibly well done and I'm saying that just from the trailers I've seen on a small screen tv. I can't imagine how awesome it would be to see it in theaters with the 3D effects being used, and so it's a movie I'm anticipating to see.

I like him because I had the pleasure of meeting him not that long ago and he was a really awesome, down-to-earth guy who was just really friendly and fun.

It's true that his fake American accent is pretty average, but accents don't really bother me these days in a world where we are so culturally hybrid anyway. Plus I think he's done really well for himself considering he was a bricklayer and didn't have any formal training or acting experience until he was about 20.
There's no doubt the man has done pretty damn well for himself in the last 10 years or so, I just don't understand that if his accent is too thick for him to put on a convincing American accent, why even bother? I'm not really picking on him here. There are a lot of actors I feel the same way about, it's just that this is a thread about Worthington's latest movie.

Yeah I know what you mean, and I personally think Australians putting on American accents, or any other nationalities putting on fake accents, is silly. I too hate hearing really bad accents, and to just reverse the roles for a minute, I've never heard an American actor put on a good Australian accent and it does shit me when I'm watching the film and also think - why bother.

Couldn't care less about the accent, Americans butcher plenty of accents themselves, not to mention other countries' history. It's a piece of fiction, enjoy it for what it is...unless it turns out crap.

My buddy who works on movie sets is pretty much salivating from both heads for this movie. Back in August he actually wanted me to drive with him to Calgary so we could see a 16 minute trailer on a big screen. Obviously I told him to take a bus, or wait five minutes for someone to upload the trailer to Youtube, but he was quite adamant to get himself to Calgary. I'm not really that intrigued by the movie, however I will say that the CGI effects look absolutely stunning, but the overall plot doesn't really do anything to catch my fancy. Most likely I will end up renting it when it comes out on DVD and watching it, but unless the girl I'm seeing right now wants to go, I doubt I will go see it in theaters.

I wasted some time to reading this but I couldn't finish.

This guy's arguments just fall flat on their ass.

"OMG this movie is gonna suxk cuz it has peeps who looks like cats and theres giant robots and its a pocahontas ripoff and waaaaaaaaaaah".
