Avatar, First Half

I missed out on Avatar when it was new in theaters, but I finally have a chance to watch it. Having to rent it means I don't get the full experience, though; no 3D, and watching a much tinier, lower quality image on my television.

So far it seems kind of like a slow-paced version of Fern Gully with giant blue aliens instead of little fairies. The special effects are very pretty, but I think they lose some of their power when they're being watched on a small television screen.

I don't actually like it all that much. I felt like I would, so I'm sort of disappointed. I can't really put my finger on what's missing. It could be any of the things I've already mentioned, or something else entirely.

I'll put up more of a review tomorrow, probably, after I finish watching it.
