The Avatar (2009)

If there's one thing Avatar really succeeded, it's in telling beautifully and artistically a very simple story.

Perhaps you'll agree that you've seen/heard/read/experienced several times the plot: A love story between two star-crossed lovers from both worlds, they must defy and sacrificed everything for a real happy ending. This masterpiece is a retelling of Romeo and Juliet and Pocahontas in one movie that will surely captivate moviegoers of all ages. Set in Year 2051 at the distant planet of Pandora, human Jake and Na'vi Neytiri fell for each other amidst threats of conspiracy and treachery. In its simpleness, it tackles almost all current issues the world face nowadays such as colonization, commercialization, environment protection, oppression, heroism, bravery, war, peace and love.

Technically, the film is superb and perhaps the best (so far) among digitally-enhanced movies. Every scene is a sure feast to the eye. I recommend you watch in 3D to really appreciate special effects. Like all James Cameron's films, Avatar ran for almost 200 minutes (including end credits) but you would never got bored since the transition is fast-paced and really entertaining. Just don't dare blink your eyes or you'll missed everything!

The Rebound (2010) Movie Review

Due to heavy traffic, me and my GF failed to watch the first day screening of James Cameron's The Avatar in 3D. We were so late and we cannot wait for another three more hours for the next schedule so we decided to watch other movie instead. It's a choice between Zombieland & Rebound, and we settled for the latter since we're not on the mood for scary film.

The Rebound is a feel-good, romantic and funny movie which tackles May-December love affair. It stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a 40 years old mom of two kids who moved in the big city (New York) after a painful divorce from her husband. Along the way, she met a 25-year old man played by Justin Bartha who is struggling to find a decent career and, like Catherine, is also mending a broken heart from his past relationship. The two becomes friend and later lover after some series of heartwarming events which started when Cathy hires Justin to be her kids nanny. The movie, true to its genre, has lots of comical and romantic scenes which fits well for Cathy and Justin. I cannot sense any awkward moments betweent the two, not even with Cathy who portrays a 40-year old single mom. It might not have the same effects as The Avatar but, overall, me and my GF had a good times. I recommend this one for mature couple who are in currently in serious relationship. You'll enjoy it and learn so many lessons in handling relationship, parenthood, career, and love life.

My personal rating for this movie: 8/10

Can't Wait to Watch Avatar

I failed to watch the holiday run of James Cameron's Avatar since movie houses here in the Philippines were bombarded by 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival film entries. I really wanted to see this film in the big screen. I know there's so much in this masterpiece that only the big screen could give. That's why I tried to be patient not to take a peek in Torrent for available download. Patience pays. In my hands right now are tickets reserved for me and my GF on Saturday for the special screening of The Avatar in 3D.

No spoiler, please...
