    Just came back from the midnight screening (IMAX 3D HFR).

     

    Hmmm...... mixed feelings. For long stretches the movie meanders, i wasn't that into it, to be honest. Last third is pretty lit, though. Need to watch it again, maybe i just wasn't in the right mood, or tired. ;)

     

    Expectedly, it's a feast for the eyes. Amazing stuff especially considering most of it is CGI.

     

    Now i'm going to bed....

     

    Midnight screening for a movie this length. Wow. I wouldnt do that for even my favorite franchises.

    Avatar should still get nominated but definitely not winning 

     

    My understanding is that if enough people love a film it can pull out a win. That is why films that end in low 70's in RT can still get in nomination and win even against much better scores. Enough people gushing about it that it could be in with a small chance. But yeah unlikely. Maybe Avatar 4 which is hinted at having the strongest story.

  3. Given most of these are core critics, which usually are harsher, those are pretty solid reactions. Had to look up the first one and that only got 82% on RT. This looks like it will at match that rating if not surpass it. Looking good so far.

     

    Based on what I've read. Its high fantasy escapism with state of the art visuals and a generally stronger story then the first. 

     

    Will look to book my tickets opening weekend now that I know its good.

    Don’t really get the appeal of TV.  Potentially a hundred or so episodes for a story that could like be told in a 2 hour movie? And where do people get the time to watch all these shows?

     

    Where as I feel the opposite. Movies rarely move and capture me these days because of their short run times. You can build something more comprehensive and rewarding in TV show.
