I finally watched the long postponed movie, Avatar! I can now see why people are so crazy about it for the past year. The movie would have looked so cool in 3D in theaters because of the amazing effects! Pandora looks fabulous. I love the glow-in-dark plants!!! And the floating mountains!

Overall, the plot was...not bad. I liked the message it gave. And although a lot of the times, it was just showing the life in Pandora, the movie was enjoyable to watch. I love it how in the end humans all died while aliens celebrated -- and people wants to become aliens and so many people in the world liked this movie. Seriously, after watching this, I dislike the human species. We, humans, think we can do anything and everything because we got money and intelligence. People with power can be the scariest. We are often blinded by the short-term benefits to see the long-term consequences. We are too selfish to care for the wellbeing of others -- which is why some places (*cough* China *cough*) can be so corrupt and unsafe. Because of this selfishness, the world becomes more distrustful and more corrupt. Which is why life in Pandora is so attractive ~ because it's such a peaceful and happy place where sharing is caring. Everyone follows the same rules and are not greedy, but respectful of resources and each other. I wonder if the world will ever return to that peaceful lifestyle...
