Yeah, before you think I fell asleep on the keyboard, I seriously didn't make that up. According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, that means "Hello, how are you?" in Na'vi language. If you haven't been living under a stone for the past few months, you'd probably know that this language belongs to the fictional species from James Cameron's 3D spectacular - Avatar.
Ugh I think they look really creepy. How do people find her "sexy"? Like WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.
Before I continue, you ought to know that I thought the movie was lame. There, I said it. Sure, awesome graphics and all that, but this was seriously a case of style over substance. Storyline? What? As my brother says, Avatar is basically a lousier Dances With Wolves... with aliens. It's like a combination of everything director James Cameron has done so far, but with much more hype and aplomb.
If you have lots of time to waste, there is a 20 minute review of the movie by one of the most hilarious and obviously very geeky/into sci-fi/knowledgeable people on youtube. It's worth it. I actually sat through his 70 minute - YES, 70 minute - review of Star Wars. Very well done stuff and actually really interesting, even though I don't remember enough of the movie to really get it. OK end ramble.
Anyway, I'm not really going to talk about the movie in detail because I'm pretty sure most of the world has watched it already ages ago when it first came out on 17 December. Basically, a marine loses his legs and gets sucked into the Avatar programme (where he controls an avatar, like in an RPG or something) because his brother died. At first, he plays double agent and tells the evil military stuff about the Na'vi people, but then he joins the Na'vi, falls in love with the race and that one girl and then CLIMAX!!! Military comes to destroy the Na'vi, big battle ensues, world is saved, they live happily ever after, yay.
If you haven't watched it, you should, at least for the graphics. The storyline isn't anything, but yeah the graphics are worth the money. I just hope it doesn't win the Best Movie Oscar. The Hurt Locker > Avatar, by far.
Let me know what you think of Avatar and leave a comment! :)
