Avatar, Sigh
By Dave Klecha | December 14, 2009
This review pretty well sums up my apprehension about Avatar, I think. I’d love to go see it for the 3D eye candy and explosions (which, really, are just a subset of eye candy), but I’m afraid the story would make me froth at the mouth.
Although, all elements of plot aside, I think I might have been turned off by the gratuitous use of “You’re not in Kansas any more” in the trailer (and, apparently, the movie itself). As the reviewer says, that line is altogether too stale. Time to bury it down a disused well. Maybe in the actual 2154, it can be unearthed for an unironic renaissance.
