Avatar was a super sweet awesome movie. This is another one of those subjective posts where I talk about an event I went to and really liked it. Not one of those serious social psychology topics I like to try to focus on normally. But, rather, I am going to talk about how much I enjoyed watching the movie, Avatar directed by James Cameron.

So the movie was about a guy named Jake Sully that is a paraplegic that is able to use an 'avatar' body. I am sure everyone has heard of the plot and I don't need to explain the go green save the planet morals that Al Gore wrote for the movie. But I will talk about the 3d. It was worth the extra few bucks I had to shell out because it was pretty damn cool. Of course the theatre was PACKED and I had to sit in like the second row so the 3d wasn't at its full potential, but it was still cool. I think that movies will only continue to use this technology is today's world. It is becoming more and more advanced. They say that in 10 or so years (I can't remember honestly) that all television sets in our homes will have this three dimensional capabilities.

Another thing that baffled me was that the movie had such fantastic success. Of course, some people think it is party due to the extra costs that are being spent on the 3d part, but also it is because of how sweet the movie was. It was the most expensive movie ever made, and yet it has acquired more domestic gross (or whatever) income then any other movie, passing titantic. This almost scared me because it makes me think things are only becoming bigger and bigger. Things are becoming more mass globalized like big businesses are taking over. I just think that when there is something as huge as a movie like Avatar, it can crush all its smaller competition. It is the dictator of movies at the moment.

I am going to see the movie again tomorrow, call me a hipicrite. But like I have said repeatively, the movie was so awesome. I support this political machine.
