Cinema - Avatar

I finally made it to see Avatar tonight - 11 weeks after it came out!  I didn't feel much about it at first, but for the probably the last four weeks I have felt I really want to see it, as I want to be a part of it.  I loved seeing Titanic when there was all the hype and felt I might feel I had missed out otherwise (more sheep behaviour).  I had seemed to have missed it in 3D - still don't know if that was a blessing or a curse - at least I didn't have to make the decision!
And, I liked it.  I really did.  I did have a lot of Mark Kermode's views going through my head while watching which may have hampered my enjoyment slightly.  But I enjoyed the story line and puzzlingly didn't mind at all the sci-fi-ness of it. Thought the dialogue was great for me and didn't feel it was too explainy for me - I like to know what's going on, and there seemed enough missed out that you had to assume to keep me on the ball.

Bizarrest bit of the eve though, walking back home from the cinema I realised I was following a man fancy dressed as a smurf!!!!!!  Couldn't have been more hilarious timing!
