Fine choices, George. Numbers 1 and 3 being big screen action films, UP was wonderful. I’ll bet you get some dissenters on Star Trek: The Future Begins, not everyone enjoyed the special effects nor the time travel element. I thought it was a hoot.
Yet to see Avatar, it just didn’t work with our busy holiday plans, and now Wife is back at work. We’ve decided to wait until after January 1, when the young ‘uns will be back in school.
I don’t know what it says about me or Hollywood, but all three movies have SF and/or fantasy elements, Rick. Realism seems to be taking a backseat to awesome special effects.
STAR TREK? I guess if you like a bombardment of flashing images during every action sequence and jerky, moving cameras at other times it’s a good movie.
STAR TREK made me feel like a kid again, Bob. Yes, the MTV style cinematography is annoying, but there was enough “sense of wonder” to carry the movie.

Many reviews of AVATAR I’ve read mention the SFX over plot. I still think story is paramount, but I do like the pretty pictures too.
You’ll love the pretty pictures, Rick. They’re spectacular!
