Funny people!

Movie review time wookay!

So in the past two days I have watched two movies; which are Zombieland and the much anticipated Avatar. To sum it up short, IN MY OPINION (so that you can completely disagree with me)

Zombieland > Avatar

Even though the latter was 2 hours and 45 minutes of CGI eye candy.

Yes it might be pretty and pleasant to the eyes when lovely palettes of random (and pretty) colours are being exhibited on every single life form in Avatar (compared to mass bombardment and explosions ala Transformers 2) but 2 hours and 45 minutes? No thanks. Think of it like staring at something you really relish for 165 minutes. It's bound to get painstakingly boring and eventually it would be a matter of testing your patience and attention span. Basically the whole movie revolved around us humans getting to know a new extraterrestrial culture and being a typical Hollywood movie, it ended up with the humans ALMOST wiping them clean off their existence but not before giving them a heavy dose of betrayal topped with a dollop of our greed. (a whole serving!) So basically that's what the movie Avatar is all about. But here's a arrow diagram to sum it all up.

Humans meet aliens --> sends some guy to foster the bond between aliens and humans --> (LOTS AND LOTS OF BORING TIRING NONSENSE) --> humans discovers valuable minerals under the alien's habitat --> humans demolish alien habitat to get their hands on it --> aliens find out they got betrayed --> war ensues --> (everything in between) --> The end.

But the whole movie is aesthetically very pleasing though.

Contradicting, I know.

Just go watch and judge it for yourself. Bah.

Zombieland on the other hand was funny and somewhat gory. (because dropping a grand piano on a zombie = funny) Now I wouldn't mind 2 hours and 45 minutes of that. As the name might suggest, it's not actually a horror movie (minus the few sudden zombie-popping out moments) but instead the movie its more towards the lighter and comical side - or maybe i'm just being a sadist. But then again nearly the whole cinema was laughing at certain scenes. So, a whole cinema full of sadists? Don't think so.

So don't hesitate and watch both the shows while they're still showing and judge them for yourselves. I can assure you that watching whichever of the two shows will not leave you walking out of the cinema hall disappointed. (unless you're fussy and picky like me)
