I saw this movie Friday.
We pre-ordered our tickets in early December, and good thing we did, because it was sold out when we got there. We saw it in IMAX 3D and I will tell you now that there is no other way to view this movie. How they are going to transfer this to DVD or Blue-Ray is beyond me.
This story was definitely predictable, however I will say that even though it was predictable, the views and the scenery in this movie are not. The things they did were unimaginably fantastic and just the way they brought the story together via this other world/creatures/people.
I was a little biased about them having made us "Earth" people seem so mean and soulless, but for the storyline I guess you could say it was necessary. One of the other things I loved about this movie is that it didn't have any scenes that made me go "Why is that in this movie?". There are a lot of movies that have scenes that are pointless, but in this movie every scene has a point to the story and the movie as a whole.
It's a wonderful story, romantic and in a political moral sense too. It's more than just romance. It's about family, friends, life, and living for what you believe. This movie definitely is the best of 2009, and for me right now the best of the 2000's. :nod:
