So I went to see Avatar again last night. Seen it twice now both times at the movies. Only movie I’ve ever seen twice at the theatres.

Saw it once at Skycity in 3D and then again last night at IMAX 3D. Movie is awesome. Relates to real life on so many levels.

For one, its just like everytime America (or UK in the old days) invades a country to steal their natural resources. Iraq/South America/Africa. Same old (evil) story… greedy foreign capitalist scumbags trying to make a buck leaving the country (planet) impoverished.

In the Navi’s case it would have no doubt ended in the forest dying and becoming a desert planet… the unobtanium is probably tied in with the neural network – guess we’ll find out in the sequels.

The other thing I thought was awesome is the networking thing in the planet. Imagine that! Petabytes and petabytes of biological storage linked by a global neural network. Thats how it should be. Its like a modern primitive race…

This movie makes me want to go bush. If only we had creatures as interesting on earth (I’d probably get eaten).

Also I downloaded the movie… does that make me a criminal? I paid 38 bucks in total to go see it at the movies and they made over $2 billion dollars off the thing, I don’t think they’ll mind me not forking out another $40 for the DVD.

I do think though at the end of the movie they should’ve fed all the humans to some thanators, instead of letting them go home… they’ll just come back, They’ll tell everyone how close a battle it was, someone will probably send a nuke straight at the tree of souls from outer space. What the fuck are the Na’vi gonna do then?

At least if a shuttle turn up and finds massacred people everywhere and a dead base, and multiple warships destroyed by some savages with bows and arrows it’ll strike fear into them and they might piss off never to return… but I digress, it’s just a movie.
