The visual effects were stunning but were poorly integrated into 3D. The 3D effect had visuals look as if they were popping out of the screen but not upfront in your face, which was what I was expecting (the blue alien Avatar movie had amazing 3D). I hold my expectations high and will hope they fix this and probably end up showing the next movie on IMAX.

Are you a fan of Dragonball? Did you see the horrible adaptation they did? The movie was absolutely repulsive. A decent job was done with The Last Airbender. The movie followed the general storyline but it was the small changes that ticked me off. Incorrect name pronunciations anyone? Don’t get me started.

M. Night Shyamalan really messed up (WARNING: I will use vulgar language if he messes up the sequel). The racial display in the movie was surprising. If you don’t know, in the world of The Last Airbender there are four nations each of a different element, air, water, fire, and earth. In the movie, it was shocking to see that the Fire nation was composed of Indians (from India) when clearly in my opinion the Fire nation culture is similar to that of the Chinese. Earth nation people are Asian, well okay… Water nation, they got a 90 percent on this. Air nation, they seriously got this wrong.

SPOILER ALERT: Another thing that wasn’t on par was the climax of the movie. Aang, the Avatar, the Last Airbender, the main character, was supposed to create a wild water beast to send the Fire nation invaders into the next life. Instead we get a scene of Aang creating a huge wave a surfer would only dream of. Does he wash the Fire nation invaders into the next life? NO! The wave subsides back into the ocean and the bad guys retreat. What the fish was that? Enough said.

I said in the beginning, from an unbiased viewpoint the movie is decent. In the eyes of a fan, absolute disappointment.  I felt compelled to write a post because I saw how big this movie was trending on twitter. Twilight: Eclipse was unheard of on twitter. There are some of you who will disagree with me; most likely you weren’t a fan of the series which means you don’t understand my rant. And if you are a fan and still disagree, you probably watched this movie while half asleep.

I pray that one of the producers has the opportunity to read this and will make a change for the better in the sequel. We need a new director. Leave Shyamalan to direct those movies that don’t make any sense.

On a side note, the million dollar question still remains. WHAT HAPPENED TO ZUKO’S MOM?

Saturday was pretty much my day off from everything. A day of rest and relaxation. Time to think and plan for the week ahead. I also watched a movie called Body of Lies, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe. I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone so I’ll just describe the plot in a generic format.

The movie is a spy drama. The primary setting is in the Middle-Eastern country of Jordan. DiCaprio works under Crowe who are both in the CIA to capture a terrorist mastermind. They form an alliance with the Chief of Jordanian Intelligence. DiCaprio is basically used as a pawn by the two organizations who don’t seem to trust each other. He finds himself in a struggle to decide where his allegiance lies and debates which organization can truly assist in the success of the operation. The movies was “okay”. If you enjoyed watching the movie Vantage Point, you’ll probably enjoy this movie as well. I really liked Vantage Point, primarily because of the flashback element that was used to progress the plot.
