Alright, so you wanna know about that Avatar movie, huh? The one with all them blue people? Well, let me tell ya, it’s somethin’ else. My grandkids dragged me to see it, and I gotta say, it was…interestin’, to say the least.
First off, it’s awful purdy. Real purdy. Everything’s so bright and colorful, like a rainbow threw up all over the screen. Them blue people, the Na’vi, they look so real, ya know? Like you could reach out and touch ’em. And the water? Lordy, the water! It’s so clear and shimmery, makes ya wanna jump right in. They say it’s all this fancy 3D stuff, makes it look like it’s comin’ right at ya. I near jumped outta my seat a few times, thought a fish was gonna smack me in the face!
Now, the story, that’s a bit harder to follow. It’s about these Na’vi folks livin’ on this planet, Pandora, and then these humans come along lookin’ for some kinda special rock or somethin’. Typical humans, always causin’ trouble. So, there’s fightin’ and flyin’ and all sorts of explosions. Lots of things goin’ boom, if ya like that kinda stuff. And this fella, Jake, he becomes one of them blue people, fightin’ alongside ’em. It’s a whole big mess, but I guess it’s about protectin’ your home and your family, which is somethin’ I can understand.
- The movie, it’s real long, too. Felt like I was sittin’ there forever. My back started achin’ and my knees were stiff as boards by the time it was over.
- But, I gotta admit, the flyin’ scenes were pretty cool. Them Na’vi ride these big bird-lookin’ creatures, and they soar through the sky like nothin’. Reminded me of them old biplanes I used to see at the county fair when I was a girl.
- And there’s this whole underwater part, where they swim with these whale-like things. That was somethin’ special, I tell ya. Made me feel like I was right there with ’em, swimmin’ in the ocean. Though, I gotta say, I wouldn’t wanna be down there with all them creepy fish. Some of ’em looked like they could swallow ya whole!
Some folks say this new Avatar movie, the one with the water, is better than the first one. I dunno, I didn’t see the first one. But this one, it was somethin’ alright. Kept me entertained, even if I didn’t understand half of what was goin’ on. All that talk about spirits and connectin’ with nature…well, it’s a bit too fancy for an old lady like me.
But the important thing is, the movie made me think. Made me think about how we treat the world around us. Them humans in the movie, they just wanted to take and take, without carin’ about the consequences. Reminds me of some folks I know, always lookin’ for a quick buck without thinkin’ about who they’re hurtin’. So, maybe there’s a message in there somewhere, about takin’ care of what we got and not bein’ so greedy.
Overall, I’d say Avatar is worth seein’ if you like them big, flashy movies. Just be prepared to sit for a while and don’t expect to understand everything. And if you get confused, just look at the pretty colors and the flyin’ creatures. That’s what I did, and I had a pretty good time, even if my old bones were creakin’ by the end.
So, there you have it. My two cents on that Avatar movie. Take it or leave it, it’s just one old woman’s opinion. But if you ask me, it’s a good way to spend a few hours, especially if you got grandkids who like that kinda thing. Just make sure you bring a cushion for your seat, you’ll thank me later.
And one more thing, they talk about how much this movie cost to make, millions and millions of dollars they say. Well, I tell you what, that money coulda fed a whole lot of hungry folks. But that’s just me, always thinkin’ about how to make things better for the little guys. Anyhow, go see the movie if you want, just don’t forget what’s really important in life, family, friends and keepin’ your feet on solid ground.
