Avatar Preview
When I first saw Avatar teaser trailer I thought, “Oh. Dances with Wolves in space.” I wasn’t impressed, especially since the trailer pretty much left no part of the plot a surprise. Gee, I wonder what’s going to happen.
Subsequent previews, however got me a little bit excited, and recent good press has increased it. Roger Ebert gave it four stars. It’s got an 85% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes four days before release. It also just got nominated for a Best Dramatic Motion Picture Golden Globe Award.
Color me surprised.
As much as I hate to admit it now, this looks to be my kind of movie: I go to be entertained and escape from life for a while. My life is serious enough without seeing movies that dramatically show the scope and scale of the human condition. I’m living the human condition and don’t need reminders. I just want to have fun.
Avatar looks like it’s going to be a blast.
