I loved watching this movie last night, it was very inspiring and I liked how it portrayed de Saint George being sort of "stuck" in this world between rubbing shoulders with Marie Antoinette and discovering his African heritage. The mother had only a few lines but to me was a very standout character because of her expressions and special relationship with her long-lost son. It did feel like something was missing; I wish more time was spent on his childhood years at the swordman academy or in his final years as a French Revolution leader. Really great movie though. I think I would watch it again.

I saw this movie Christmas day in 3-D, after thirteen years of rewatching Avatar, daydreaming of the sequel, binge reading Avatar fanfiction, and coming up with theories. It was everything I could ever ask for. Cute kids, BEAUTIFUL visuals, and emotional scenes, one from Zoe Saldana that gave me goosebumps. I admit the script could be stronger, and the villain could be different, and the humans and Na'vi could be fleshed a tad bit more, but I came away from the theater feeling satisfied, like I just got off of a really good rollercoaster. I still think about the movie maybe hours after watching it, just contemplating how simple it is for humans to have their own Pandora on Earth, we have everything here. We are just polluting everything and mining poor Mother Earth to death. Chills from the Weekend's song on the credits and Neytiri's song. It's just as great as Leona Lewis' sendoff of the history making first film. It's worth the wait. Have an open mind and immerse yourself in the experience, learn the way of water. (:
