RATAVA

For those of you handicapped by only being able to read from left to right, the title of this post is AVATAR spelled backwards. Before I get into the implications of the storyline, I want to say that this is the most visually stunning film EVER MADE to date. It surpasses the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Ironman, Batman, Monkeyman and you name it. It even out shines Abbott and Costello Meet the Transformers and the Transsexuals. This film is so spectacular to watch, it will affect your dreams. In fact you well be asking of them, "Is that all you got?" And I'm saying this having NOT seen AVATAR in 3D! My comment to RTGFKAR and Woowoo Charly during the film is that it was like watching a million Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta paintings one after the other. If you don't know who these cool artists are, you will have to look them up on your Funk and Internet.

I'm thinking James Cameron, the writer and director could have named this flick Avatar and Avarice or, to be clearer, Democrats vs. Republicans. There were the planet(Pandora)loving and protecting environmentalist species, the Democrats, but herein referred to as the Navi, pitted against the war mongering, profit seeking, planet resource sucking corporate Republicans, herein referred to as the Bastards. The movie, is of course, a fantasy, so the Navi win and the Bastards lose which makes it fun to watch. In real life we know the Bastards win on a more than regular basis which accounts for this movie's premise, ie: Earth has been used up and now its greedy Bastards are off to steal whatever it needs from other planets. The use of force to do so is permitted. The thrill for we Tree Huggers in the audience is seeing the Bastards get their comeuppance, and, additionally, seeing the personal issues of the protagonists resolved. Here here, cheerio, good show, great flick.

Today's movie review was brought to you by the makers of D and L and T and K and D. Good Navi all.
