I loved this movie, I was pretty reluctant to see it but when I finally went I was glad I came. It starts out a little confusing and you still wont get the first part by the end but
everything else was great they had an amazing set and overall this movie was downright thrilling!
Just another great epic story by James Cameron, and not to mention the stunning cinematography that gives you a sense of realism and splendor.
This movie was pretty good. I am very excited if there was going to be Avatar 2 coming out. I'd definitely go and see it! It's worth the money. Everything about the movie was new and very exciting to watch as the movie unravels it's hidden mysteries to you. Although if the next movie could be a little bit more on how the Navi lives, it would be pretty cool to see that too. AND most of all, i think that the discovery channel should do like a commentary of the Avatar world. That would be AWESOME!!
well okay overall i did not like it seriously magical blue creatures???
James Cameron knows how to entertain intelligent human beings! This is an extremely well crafted movie that criticizes economical expediency at the expense of the destruction of another people's culture. I had the feeling that one could read America's hunger for oil and invasion of Iraq, into the plot of this allegory. But beyond this political message, this is a delightful excursion into a sci-fi world that is painstakingly created by teams of talented artists. It is worth every penny. I can highly recommend this movie to you. The design of the vehicles alone, is worth the price of admission!
This movie is easily the most over-hyped of the decade. As far as story line goes Avatar gets two stars for the overused and cliqued plot that left me wondering why this movie is consistently getting good reviews. Sure the CGI was realistic and beautiful, however good use of cinematography and computers does not make a movie special.
As well as it being an overall very average movie, what made it worse were the reviews claiming that it was the best movie of the decade.
This movie is perfect for simple-minded people who are easily entertained and enjoy staring at glowing objects for hours at a time.
Barley worth **
Do not let the creators of Avatar dupe us. What a load of horse sh**. They release a movie only to re-release a short time later with new scenes and now in quot;3Dquot;.
Seriously, if the scenes are good enough to show us now then why not show them to us in the first place? The 3D aspect, why not release it in 3D when it first came out.
It's about sucking as many $ $ $ from your wallet as possible and anyone that walks into the theatres to see it in reaffirming that the general public will swallow anything given to them as long as it is packaged well.
The films is entertaining...because its is 3d and you get to see big blue titties kiggling around. Other than that the fim has nothing, sexy navi ass is 100% of this film. The helicopter ladys boobys are even better woling at your face in 'beatuffil' 3 dimensions.
The film itself is everything the critics say, a plot lifted from pochiontis or whatever wih splashings of fern gully. The whole film is so avergae without the snazzy effects and gimmick it would be nothing at all. Compare this to a film like terminator 1 that was made on no budget and yet stands as a great film in its on right, and imagine if this was made in the 80's with no money. Would it be a sci-fi classic? No.
James cameron has pretty muh lost it, and while the film willentertain you - its becasue shizzle flys out at you, not because you give a poop about the hawt navi.
Well apperently the story line of the movie is near abouts the same as Disney's film Pocahontas, and if you've seen pocahontas then the film will be similar just with blue people instead of indians.well good news for me i've never seen pocahontas and the story of the film avatar was new and completely different, so if you're gonna go and see this movie make sure you blank pocahontas from your mind and this film will end up giving you a great story.
this was boring and stupid. sure the animation was good but i fell asleep! i had to watch it again! i dont know why everone loved it
When I left the theater I was in awe about this film. But as the day ended I realized that I was spoiled by the CG of the movie. This movie has the craziest CG I have seen to date. The money it took to make that was unbelievable. That is why I was spoiled. The movie was just too beautiful to look at. But here is the thing. A lot of people see this movie, just get googly eyed over the CG and decide it is the best movie ever made. I have heard many people say this movie is revolutionary. They actually used that word. I will admit, as for the CG, it is. There has not been a movie that has ever looked like this. But as a movie in general, there is a lot of pieces missing. The beginning of the story is completely missing. The film rushes into the CG section way too quick. It is pretty obvious they wanted to get the viewers attention and keep it with the beautiful visual effects. Something else I noticed was the dialog. Some parts were excellent. Others, they were really pushing it. I guarantee if this movie was just people in blue suits, it would not have the hype it does now. That is because the story was not strong. The whole back story of the Na'vi was 100% excellent. But the back story about what the film is going for is not really there. I am sorry about all this, but I have to be realistic here. I cannot give a movie a perfect rating if it is not perfect. But this is definitely a movie to see. If you have a chance to see it in 3D, check that out. Just regular is good too. I know you will enjoy it, because it is fun to watch. But I also know if you are a critic, you will agree with what I say. My last note I will say that all of the cast was great. Some of the Na'vi voice overs had bad dialog, but other than that, it was all pretty solid. Sam Worthington did a great job as the main and as a voice over. I really enjoyed Zoe Saldana's voice as the main female Na'vi. Sigourney Weaver brings a little mature feeling to the film and Giovanni Ribisi with Joel Moore bring a little comedy. Fun movie too watch.
I have to say, Avatar in 3D was absolutely amazing. The special effects were so real. The movie must have took a long time to make.BRAVO! I give 1,000,000 stars!
ahh
If youre one of the five people who has managed to abstain from watching James Camerons 2009 megahit Avatar, than I have one thing to say to you: stay home, watch Pocahontas, The Last Samurai, or Keith Olbermann and save yourself 10 dollars.
The shopworn story in Avatar revolves around Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paralyzed marine who is sent to a military/mining outpost on the faraway planet Pandora. Pandora is inhabited by 10-foot tall primitive blue aliens affectionately named Navi, who basically look like the most likeable and cute creatures imaginable. Jake is enlisted by a team of scientists to take control of a human-Navi hybrid body through some futuristic mind-link technology and is soon a 10-foot tall blue version of himself. Without giving too much away, Jake finds himself captured by the native aliens and soon has to choose where his loyalties lie.
Donacirc;��t be fooled by the exotic premise, the movie digresses quickly into a clichAtilde;copy;-ridden mess with an ending that can be seen from a mile away. The two antagonists in Avatar are laughably one-dimensional white males (what else?). One is the head of the military complex, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). The Colonel is everything that elitist Hollywood thinks of the military: aggressive, chauvinistic, callous, and eager for destruction and death. He has some of the most ridiculous dialogue: lines to the effect of Lets hurry up and destroy this peaceful native culture so I can get back in time for dinner and shock and awe(sounds familiar). On top of this he sports a ridiculous set of scars on his face that is only surpassed in dumbness by his over the top southern accent.
The second antagonist plays less of a role in the movie, but is equally comical, bland, and stereotypical as the Colonel. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) is the corporate executive of the mining operation on Pandora that is seeking the mineral unobtanium which, as Selfridge explains, acirc;��sells for twenty million a kilo.acirc;�� And wouldnacirc;��t you know it, the deposit of unobtanium is situated right under the village of the Navi. Selfridge thankfully makes only a few appearances in the movie, but Cameron makes sure to squeeze the max amount of populist anger from the audience out of each appearance by having him sit in his plush corporate office and whine about his profits. By his second appearance, I was fully expecting him to give lavish bonuses to AIG bankers or at least, start laying-off workers.
This film is as smug, simplistic, and manipulative as it gets in Hollywood. Especially in the movie business, you sometimes have to look past the absurd pseudo-philosophical politics and just enjoy the movie for what it is. And had this movie had the same politics, but instead looked like, say, The Godfather, I would have done just that. Unfortunately, Cameronacirc;��s Avatar mixes a ridiculous message with even more ridiculous dialogue. The story is predictable down to me being able to foresee exact lines and the forest setting is a little too neon and fantastical to be taken seriously. Dont get me wrong, this movie isnt unwatchable. On the contrary, the visuals (especially in IMAX 3D) are everything theyre cracked up to be. But visuals donacirc;��t make a movie, theyre meant to compliment it. As soon as Cameronsacrificed story and script for 3D effects, he ceased to be making a movie. The ultimate irony is that I would have sacrificed all the expensive stunning imagery and motion-capture technology in the world for a little bit of depth and originality.
see this movie, trust me
This movie was just...wow because there are no other words for it. I am noy going to go rambling about it. All im going to tell you is to watch it.
The movie Avatar is about an ex-marine who is selected for a mission to the place known as Pandora. Earth finds a precious mineral that when mined is worth millions of dollars. Earth also has created the technology that allows humans to be put in a chamber and become a creature that lives on Pandora. As Jake (the main character) spends more and more time on Pandora, the more he becomes amazed more connected to everything on the planet. Jake also finds love on Pandora with the one who is teaching him their ways. As time passes, the humans get tired of waiting of Jake trying to get their trust, they arrange for an attack on Pandora and their people. Jake retaliates with the other beings on the planet and end up being to overcome the obstacles and defeat the humans forcing them to leave Pandora and Jake is able to transform into one of them where he becomes one the best warriors of the planet.
This movie was pretty good because it got many good reviews including this one. At first, I did not want to go see this movie, but once I finally did, I turned out to be wrong. After doing research on the internet and asking other people how many stars that they would give it out of five the most common was four in a half. This was a very successful movie that James Cameron produced, along with an irreplaceable cast of Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel Moore, Zoe Saldana, and many others. Above all, I give this movie a four and a half stars out of five.
CGI's were beyond all the movie's of today, inlcuding others in 3D. The story was beuatiful and conveyed an all-important message to the audience that is crucial to todays secular aociety. Proceeding the film I felt like painting myself blue and living in the forest and am inspired to make my life greener. A MUST SEE, or a well worth it must-buy DVD.
What can I say?
Think pokahontas plus Star Wars minus the freshness, dialog, and good writing. This is a tired old story told badly. True the visuals are great or at least until you hit blue overload but like a half-dozen of my friends I had to force my way to see the predictable and idiotic finish. How on earth or Pandora (sigh) can give this mess more than say 2 stars is beyond me.
From a technical side, Avatar is simply incredible. The motion capture, the superb 3-D, the fantastic visuals, it's just amazing. But all of the technical flash can't cover the huge flaws. First, the story is a complete rehash from many different movies. There is nothing original in it and it's very predictable. Second, the acting is mediocre at best. Worthington is fine but he's about it. Stephen Lang is laughable. Then there's the constant political commentary. The environmentalist bombardment, the anti-military stance, the anti-sorporation stance. It goes on and on and on. He has every right to include it in his film. But I also have the right to call it what it is. Amazing that this movie's lame storyline and performances have been given a pass just because it looks nice and shiney.
awesome movie...mst watch
this is a very good movie but a very long movie 3h so i would recomend the vip seats but it is a very well thought through it is amazin in 3d
I read recently that when activist saw the movie quot;Avatarquot; by James Cameron, they became depressed. The reason why is because they saw the world they lived in and became sad that our world doesnt look like that anymore because of global warming.
Well even with global warming our world wouldnt look like that. The plants are just literally out of this world.
Well besides that rant and many others of the controversies this movie has raked up, it is just a movie and very spectacular visiual and audio presentation the story itself is unbelievable. Very well worth not only your time but money as well.
This movie is worth the quot;goodquot; publicity it has raked up to have.
Avatar is awesome. I love the CG, the environment, everything. But there were times when you think the plot is like this, when actually the plot is something else. It was finally when i read a magazine regarding Avatar, then did i truly understood. Overall, Avatar is a good movie, and must be watched no matter what.
I am a cynical one that does not buy into hype, especially about modern Hollywood special effects blockbusters. I believe that the main reason people are buying into Avatar on such a grand level (which has contributed to the movie becoming the highest grossing film of all time) is because they are clinging to a shred of hope that this 2009 movie will resemble the epic success of Cameronrsquo;s 1997 Titanic. Irsquo;m sure not everyone liked Titanic and I must admit some of the plot/dialogue was clicheacute;d and romantically cheesy, but the movie was so big and well-liked that Irsquo;m sure nowadays, people just want to experience a grand, olrsquo; movie experience like that again. Sadly, though, or at least in Hollywood today, another Titanic epic will most likely not come around as easily, or maybe once in 30 years, I predict, IF wersquo;re in luck. So to me, the success of Avatar has thrived mainly on false hope.
Irsquo;m on a good roll now ndash; not buying into Hollywood hype and all ndash; because I havenrsquo;t bought into any hype since I watched Lord of the Rings. But at least that movie series was good. And there are two reasons why LTR was good that do not pertain to Cameronrsquo;s Avatar: 1) Good, interesting plot and 2) Good, relevant special effects.
Avatar just lacks what a lot of other movies do, which is the most important part of a good movie: a good plot, good characterization, and good dialogue. People have to care about the characters and care about what theyrsquo;re saying and whatrsquo;s going on, but unfortunately, the Avatar people and their whole Pandora mission just does not stick to many peoplersquo;s interest hellip; or memory.
Well, some would say that the special effects in Avatar are good. But the main point above about having a good plot will stand no matter what. If the plot is not good, and it is in fact boring, along with the people and the mission, then how could the setting and the special effects be good, too? (Some reviewer even described the characters as ldquo;goofy-looking blue aliensrdquo;). So wouldnrsquo;t everything just meld into this boring, dull, and pointless visual annoyance then? It would for me if Irsquo;d fall asleep after 20 minutes.
Anyway, writing is not Cameronrsquo;s strongpoint, but making huge epic pictures is, so he should consider improving on his weaknesses instead of disguising them as amazingly genius qualities that lots of people will buy into.
This is a 'Must see' movie, innovative, and extraordinary. I think it will be regarded by most cinema goers as another milestone in the history of the art. The level of realism achieved is remarkable, and although the film is relatively long in real time, it retains it's excitement and holds the audience's attention to the end.

You must see
Okay, so I would just like to point out that it was better than I thought it would be. But with that being said it was pretty cliched and predictable. Of course he gets the girl, and of course he chooses the avatar race over his own. I probably would too. Aside from the negative it was visually amazing. Totally worth seeing just for the CGI. BEAUTIFUL
I would only give this movie a 1/2 star if I could only because it is pretty. However, there was no story or acting at all. I went to the bathroom 3 times on purpose, just to get away from the movie. If my husband wasn't with me I would have left 10 minutes into it.
The first section of this review was written prior to watching the film this afternoon, and deals predominantly with my thoughts on the hype, marketing, interviews and alternate critical reviews that have appeared across the globe from those lucky enough to see the film already. I feel this is the fairest way to judge anticipation, which in my role as reviewer, happens far too rarely for my liking. I don't look forward to many films being released, so to suggest that this has been a very long wait for me personally is something of an understatement. James Cameron wrote the outlines and formula for Avatar prior to filming Titanic, and only a few years afterwards, I got wind of it.
Ever since, I have been waiting for it to arrive. Today is the day it does, and like many people that know me, I am hoping against hope that it is all I wish it to be.
When the first trailer was released to a world that was, by now, practically salivating at the prospect of this new uber-film from James Cameron, I was much like any other movie fan. I was sitting at this PC on Apple's website, waiting for the thing to pop up in front of me. When it did, I was a little surprised.
I was already familiar with the actors, storyline, plot etc, but one of the things that you couldn't even begin to imagine was how the film looked. Cameron had kept his cards very close to his chest and like everyone else, this was truly a mystery unveiled. Like a birthday present when you think you know what you're going to get, but are surprised when you unwrap it and it isn't what you wished for, there were many naysayers throughoutmost communities I frequent. This is not to say that the present wasn't still welcome.
But there were many raised voices and capital letters about how it looked, simply as it hadn't matched the imagination of the expectant viewer. And to that extent it was certainly true. I didn't expect Pandora to be so Halo-esque (an environment in game form I don't really enjoy). I, unlike the vocal protesters however, remained silent. I knew that little could be gleaned from the short trailer we were treated to and that Cameron had failed in his first attempt to give the people that had been waiting the longest the thing they craved the most. Spectacle, story, emotion and adventure. Some of it was there, but most of it was sadly absent.
By the time the second trailer arrived, Cameron had put that right and like myself, most of those same detractors were left wide-eyed and grinning like a three-year-old the first time they see Tigger. Relief was palpably unabound.
The film has been so long in the creative process that it is easy to forget what your original expectations were. Reading several reviews that have been gushingly glowing but littered with common-sense also, I was reminded of what I had wanted from Avatar all those years ago. I wanted detail and scale. I wanted to help usher in a new era of cinema. I wanted to be able to say I was there when the future of movie-making changed forever. To be there when the bar was raised and everyone sat up in wonder. Initially for me, Avatar had never been about the story. I had sparse details about the point of it all, but what drew me in was the promise of the visual delights that the new technology was going to be able to provide
POST SCREENING
So now we have been back from the Avatar 3D screening on the IMAX for a couple of hours and I have had enough time to digest what I have seen in front of me. When you actually sit down and think about the event as a whole, it is a truly remarkable achievement of detail and scale and in many aspects, not least technologically, revolutionary. Very few reviews have taken a step back from the film, unemotionally, and seen this exactly for what it is however, and there are issues with the film that have largely been overlooked during the heaped praise, which it mostly deserves. Yes, this is indeed a behemoth of a film in visual delights. This is as 'grand cinema' as you are going to see without travelling forward a decade or two in time. Regardless of your opinion of the film, there isn't a soul that can say they have seen all this before.
I expect the story will be familiar to most of you by now. Crippled Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) arrives, wheelchair-ridden on Pandora, a satellite moon light years away, on a golden ticket. His twin brother was supposed to be going but tragically killed, only Jake's DNA will match the Avatar that has been created at vast expense by the corporation that needs him to navigate the vast jungles of Pandora in order to both study the fauna and flora, and more covertly, find a diplomatic solution to the problem of repatriating the local blue-skinned human like population, known as the Na'vi. They are living right on top of the one thing that the humans need, the appropriately named Unobtanium. This is two hundred years from now and there is 'no green left on the planet (earth)' and this natural resource on Pandora is essential to the future of mankind.
Cameron wastes no time in dropping you right into the action and within quarter of an hour, Jake has arrived, acclimatised and mentally inhabited his eight-foot, blue-skinned body and taken it out for a run. For a man that has spent more time in his wheelchair than he cares to remember, the feeling of freedom he is now afforded cannot be contained. And so begins the story of Jake's three month intermittent tenure of his Na'vi host, spending his sleeping time as a human in the human base, and his conscious time as part of the Na'vi. He meets and is often saved by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), the daughter of the local Na'vi clan leader, and it is at this point that Cameron comes into his own. Every Cameron film worth it's salt has a love story attached somewhere and Avatar is no different. The relationship between Jake and Neytiri blossoms as he learns their language, how to become a hunter and how to catch his very own dragon to fly around Pandora on. He both engages and charms the local Na'vi clan and slowly but surely changes his philosophical stance, from alien invader on a mission to save his own planet to angry native at the invasion that is taking place around him, that he initially helped achieve.
So the story is simple enough and it had to be, really. All of Cameron's work is not difficult to grasp, get into and become enveloped in. The self proclaimed (even ironically) 'King of The World' is absolutely the best, without question, at what he does. If you look at his back catalogue including the likes of Titanic, Terminator 2 and Aliens and you begin to understand how Avatar got made in the first place. It can't have been an easy pitch, even for him, however. Blue human like aliens with golden eyes and tails, six-legged horses, weighing in at twenty minutes short of three hours? Really?
And so to the nuts and bolts of it. Was it really worth the time, trouble and vast sums of money to bring this epic to the screen? I'll be brutal and say that I am honestly still wrestling with the question. Even after having now having seen the film, I still don't know if it is good enough to match the expectation, which admittedly was abnormally high. It is outstanding, but I was expecting the best film I have ever seen, and this was nowhere near worthy of such an accolade.
The film is truly stunning to look at and the amount of detail Cameron has put into Pandora and it's indiginous population is beautifully and astonishingly anal. From the foliage that is tossed apparently thoughtlessly from the battles we witness, to the bioluminesence all around you that interacts with the characters so beautifully that you can only imagine that it is a natural occurence, you do forget that Pandora is completely imagined and designed. The motion capture is, without doubt, the finest you will have ever seen, with our lead characters indistinguishable from their real life counterparts.
Technically, this is a triumph for Cameron, an incredible presentation of what can now be achieved on film, even if it comes at massive costs and years of protracted labour.
And yet there is still a nagging at the back of my mind. If Avatar is a love story, then Titanic did it better. As a love story, it fails. It is too beautful to look at. The romance is lost on the audience by the sights they are spoilt by. Is it the best storyline? Again, it doesn't manage to engage the viewer on a philosophical level, even given it's timely 'climatic' release. Sure, we understand the irony behind the socio-political comment Cameron seems to have happened on, but while we understand the rights and wrongs, it isn't handled or emphasised eloqeuntly enough to drill home the message. Is the acting the best we have ever seen? Whilst Worthington and Saldana are both intriguing playing Jake and Neytiri, neither are engaging enough, despite the incredible motion capture, to drag the audience into a blossoming relationship. Nor are we moved by the supporting cast enough to appreciate them fully. Weaver and Rodriguez both play wonderful characters that are woefully short on roundedness.
Ultimately, this is something this reviewer recommends you see on as big a screen as you can find as the reason you need to see it is for what it looks like and not it's content. Cameron has pulled off something technologically amazing here, but what sets it apart from everything else you have witnessed in breathtaking visuals, it pays for by falling (slightly) short on every other aspect.
Gob-smackingly, jaw-droppingly beautiful, but sadly short on content. (4 stars on the IMAX, but drop it by one for the Blu-Ray)
This film blew me away! It should definitely be movie of the year. One of the best I have ever seen and that is a ton. Beautiful immigary and finally, a Happy ending!
Avatar left me wondering why I bought into the review hipe that it was an quot;outstandingquot; movie experience. I was bored by the cardboard characters, the vacuous plot, you name it and this movie didn't have it, and after a while even the special effects became a yawn.
Watching a film, television movie or mini-series based on a literary work without having ever read the book is as valid as having read the book first and watching the film or TV movie later. In fact, most people do the former rather than the latter. Of course, you run the risk of being turned off by the movie or mini-series and never wanting to touch the original source with a ten-foot pole.
Even though I have yet to read Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones," I cannot assert that Peter Jackson's adaptation of the same has completely turned me away from the novel. In fact, I now want to see how Sebold handles the fantasy elements and if the novel has as many confounding tone shifts as the film.
As a movie, "The Lovely Bones" is not as bad as most critics claim it to be. Is it flawed? Absolutely. But I've seen it twice already and I can assure you that there is a lot to recommend even though the film doesn't quite come together as a whole.

Cliched, predictable, politically upfront, yet the sheer quality of it's craft is admirable. Great performances boost characters past their writing, well directed visuals and action combined with stunning CGI createa beautiful world that will keep you watching.
Dances with Wolves on SyFi Steroids. Fun, entertaining and I did like it, but the message is very new age. James Camerons imagination is over rated for it. Seems he took bits and pieces of other story lines and pays on the current quot;Greenquot; idology the media. The story is parallel to that of John Dunbar's experience with the Lakota Indian, but with a www.SyFi in mother earth twist. Life would be comfortable and worry free if weren't for quot;evil, greedy, earth rappingquot; white man.
Avatar stunk to high-hell. If it weren't for Cameron's Abyss, Aliens and T2, this movie would be derided, lampooned and called out for the pile of festering caramelized feculent slime that it is.
This movie is rife with terrible acting, horrific dialogue, and its 'message' is delivered through constant abuse of moral hazards. We have moral relativism, betrayal and treason being perpetrated for the greater good. The greater good of course being subjective so a movie like this promulgates the idea that all crimes against any state or authoritative entity are justifiable.
This was a 3D wrapped celluloid that without the stunning (yet stupid looking, e.g., blue-cat-deer-women with human breasts) visuals would, especially in novel form, be a bloody laughing stock.
The aliens stunk horribly. What's with the talking bi-peds with two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Has it ever occurred to these so called quot;creativequot; people that new life might be a colony of nano-bots, a slime mold with group intelligence, life that aspirates with copper based blood, non-DNA self replicating life forms? Why is everything a blue monkey with breasts? At least in 1969 when Star Trek was populated with quot;old-formquot; Klingons that looked like a bronzed human they were on a near-zero budget, but at least they were totally re-defining sci-fi and giving a window into the future. Also of note in this mediocrity contests, gravity on Pandora is for everything but the floating rocks? The physics, weaponry, strategy of the military and the plausibility of the whole thing is beyond fantasy, its moronic and so implausible that its distracting and ridiculous. No, this isn't Blade Runner, Terminator, BSG, Star Trek. This is like getting crystal-skull-raped.
Crap like Avatar, especially after T2, Star Trek, Star Wars (Ep 4,5 only), is shocking. Its showing that Cameron is a master of marketing mass subscribed explosion fests laced with politically motivated parables and drivel and sub-themed with nothing intellectual because there is nothing beyond the visual veneer, it is fundamentally puerile trash that's been hussied up to look like way more than it actually is. It is trash which is the opiates of the McDonald's eating masses.
Anyone who defends this movie is simply a below average or nearly average mind that can't see past visuals that are no more complex of a stimulus than a piece of string is as a cat toy. They are incapable of rational or critical thought and are very likely a wage slave heavily in debt working towards no particular end, lost in life, and movies like this are a form of escapism where they quot;want to believequot; and become immersed in something because their own lives are basically mundane, insignificant and unimportant.
Moral hazards. Identity politics. Thinly veiled political positions. Preaching to the customer/consumer/viewer. Moral relativism. Severe lack of plot, dialogue and finally acting capability.
This is a turning point for the world. It is showing how things that stimulate basal sensory centers in the simplistic human mind lead the herd into mindless oblivion.
The Navi are flawless, they have no strata in their society or any inter-tribal strife. This in and of itself is unrealistic. The bad guys here are 100% bad, and have no capacity for rational thinking or empathy, except scientists in white coats, they have all the wisdom, empathy and intelligence and are always right. The characters were utterly simplistic, like toys and images made for pre-verbal children. Its like having tele-tubbies broadcast in massively expensive exquisite 3D where every frame is lovingly crafted to present to you some of the flattest, most uninspiring characters ever created.
This movie is clearly well below average, if you liked it you are the reason Hollywood is cranking out garbage these days. This man spent 10 times what District 9 costs and made a movie far worse, (not that District9 was any benchmark or the cat's meow), and this huge budget could have given 10 directors a shot at making something good. No wonder Linda Hamilton divorced this drunken train wreck of a truck driver idiot Cameron.
The movie itself is a total sham. The message people walk away from is: down with the evil empire, down with the mercenaries, down with planet destroying mining and down with hellip;. (list goes on)
So it takes a crippled jar head to save the Navi because they are too stupid or incompetent to do this for themselves? That seems rather insulting of the noble savage. Since when to bows and arrows bounce off of glass in one part and then start quot;workingquot; in the next part? So Cameron exposes corporatism by marketing his movie with McDonalds? So people who have access to a neural network biological super computer are meant to be clueless idiots? Did anyone ever note that Jake Sully lead the Navi into a total disaster. They totally lost the fight. And just when the battle needed winning the biological computer (which was supposedly only interested in maintaining balance and not interfering) somehow sends in the rhino creatures for the win. Even though the rhino creatures arent linked in. So Jake Sully, without the pathetic plot device of God stepping in and saving the day, was going to completely destroy this noble savage society. And most of the efficacy of the attack was due to his detailed plans he fed to the mercenaries. It would seem this is an added insult to the noble savages they are too dumb to see an enemy in Jake Sully. Why do all the noble savage natives gyrate around the tree of glowing idiocy? Other noble savages in history have performed vivisection, human sacrifice, cannibalism, self mutilation and self flagellation - so are we to assume these blue fools are doing just gyration and none of the other reprehensible behavior or are these savages?
A large number of the scenes involve idiot level interaction with the planet flora and fauna. A large portion of this movie was dedicated to quot;getting to know Pandora,quot; through clumsy interactions with the animals. Lots of grunting, snorting and idiot displays of animals that are identical to various living earth creatures and dinosaurs with an extra leg here, a hammer-head shark nose put on a rhino, and other totally idiotic modifications to existing earth creatures to make them aliens. An extra eye here or there, a nasal sail on the big red pterodactyl (sails were often used to help cool blood so a small nasal sail would not be effective, also, the sail was shown to be bone which would make the sail ineffective and add unnecessary weight to a flying creature). The ion-sail spaceship can't reach the speed of light, and even if it got to relativistic speeds (0.94c and up), it would require that as much of the journey is spent decelerating as accelerating. This rules out a 5 year journey to Alpha Centurai. Did you notice the Navi are basically double-sized humans (I hope they have a greatly improved vascular system or two hearts), with biceps, triceps gluts quadriceps like humans evolved on earth. But they have cat eyes, deer ears and a stupid nose. And they have 100% carbon copy human feet. I guess this is the most efficient foot design for bi-peds? Probably not, especially if they spent any significant time in trees, they would have feet that were better at gripping than transferring force across an area. Again, Cameron's juvenile imagination is pathetic. A magnetic field strong enough to levitate mountains would probably do a whole lot more than just mess with instruments. It would *certainly* prevent remote communication with an Avatar body. By the way, where is the bio-mechanical interface for receiving and transmitting input output from/to the Avatar from the control stations? Oh yeah, and latency isn't an issue here? Also, a planet wide brain would not function well as the latency (especially in terms of biological electrical signal propagation) would really make such a large single brain model impossible. More likely it would have multiple brains interlinked (there are jellyfish that have multiple shared brains). I would doubt that the large brain would function, or the distributed brain model would be very intelligent at all. I also wonder how a planet with an air atmosphere thick enough to allow helicopters to operate would likely not have a gravity substantially different from 9.8ms2. The magnetosphere and gravity required for an atmosphere requires a magnetic dynamo mechanism to keep the atmosphere from being blown away and smaller planets, like mars, lose atmosphere very quickly. Especially in the radiation-wind of a gas giant. Also, the proximity to a gas giant is likely to cause tidal locking and prevent rotation relative to the gas giant (which, given the solar system's gas giant and its distance from the star would cause massive changes in environment, and gas giants emit quite a bit of radiation, and using the sol model, this would likely make the bulk of the thermal inputs coming from the gas giant) and expose moons like Pandora to likely fatal cyclotron radiation. Also gas giants compress via the Kelvinndash;Helmholtz mechanism , and given the geological time scales required for live to evolve, they radiation output and thermal outputs of the gas giant would change tooquickly. Also, the gas giant as depicted in the movie was rotating impossibly fast.
Cameron has one theme potentially right in his films. Until the humans are smart enough to stop paying for complete drivel like Avatar, the society will degrade into a dystopian idocracy. The only complaint I have with this vision is people dumb enough to keep putting up with this trash won't be capable of interstellar travel.
This block-bustering famous director / famous actor garbage has to stop.
Despite the not so subtle quot;politically correctquot; themes that permeate the movie, this was very entertaining. Animations were fantastic and the story line of quot;good triumphs over evilquot; is always a big hit with me.
Very life-like animations.
I will see this movie again.
Truly entertaining and beautiful to watch. The plot is basic, but that doesn't take away from the movie's wallup in the least. In fact, I'd like to thank Cameron for not complicating the movie with fourteen different subplots. Because of it's back-to-bones basics and amazing cinematography, the movie accomplished what so few do these days: pure entertainment once can watch again and again.

I saw this epic last night at the Empire Leicester Sq in London, which is a superb venue in which to view this film. Huge screen, excellent sound and an extraordinary Dolby, 3 dimensional image. The whole effect is mind blowing.
This is a 'Must see' movie, innovative, and extraordinary. I think it will be regarded by most cinema goers as another milestone in the history of the art. The level of realism achieved is remarkable, and although the film is relatively long in real time, it retains it's excitement and holds the audience's attention to the end.
Performances are good, but this is not the sort of film that dwells on big star value for the actors, although Sigorney Weaver does shine and delivers a very convincing performance, as do the rest of the cast. But as there is so much entertainment and action value on screen the human element does not dominate in the usual way.
As Writer/Director, James Cameron deserves high praise for this creation and in my opinion it will break box office records. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
Like many people I saw the trailer for avatar and thought it looked like a crappy science fiction movie and wasn't planning on watching it... that is until I saw James Cameron was attached to it. this movie was a masterpiece and I loved every second of it though the general plot has been used in many other movies I think avatar puts them all to shame with an amazing flow that keeps you immersed in the film for the entire two and a half hour movie it is a must see and I recommend this movie to everyone.
Irsquo;ve now seen avatar 3 times the first was in 2d because having seen other movies fail in 3d I wanted to see avatar without the distraction and I loved so my second time I went for the Imax 3d and was blown away, throw away everything you think you know about 3d because James has reinvented it
For all the people saying itrsquo;s the same plot as dances with wolves please show me one modern movie that has a completely original plot and I will give you (not really) and the people saying its eco propaganda you need to realize this was not made to make us feel bad and start respecting our planet (tough yes it did have that effect) it was all relevant to the story line and a necessity
these are my personal opinions and I welcome anyone who wants to argue wth them just keep it civil
Great movie, but I felt like I was watching a modern version of quot;A man called Horsequot; or quot;Dances with Wolvesquot;. Not a very original concept, but an excellent format of retelling the same story again. As for visuals nothing compares. However, for 300 million it better be something spectacular. A must see, but lets not praise Cameron for his originality when it comes to writing a script. Let praise him for his vision of a new world.
Mind-blowing graphics, and an easy to follow, highly entertaining story.
A must see.
All the reviews of Avatar Irsquo;ve read seem to miss the real value of this visually stunning movie set on the fantastically alive planet of Pandora. While aspects of the plot are predictable, Avatar offers some powerful messages for our time once you scratch beneath the surface.
For those who are not firmly entrenched in our mainstream culturersquo;s cynicism and denial the movie, Avatar, is a powerful opportunity to sharply see and feel our current situation as a species that has lost its way. As we experience the lives of Pandorarsquo;s indigenous people our own predicament comes into contrast. We become visible as a species that has become trapped within its own culture and system of domination and control... cut off from what really enlivens us.
It is surprising that a movie with some of the messages of Avatar could even come out of the corporate dominated ldquo;homelandrdquo; that the USA has become. I wonder how many of the people walking out of the cinema really get it... that we, the consumers (no longer citizens) of industrial civilization are on the side of the baddies in this film. Not just occasionally, randomly bad... not just a few bad eggs such as the cold-hearted leader of the mercenaries on Pandora, Colonel Quaritch... but that our whole way of life is portrayed for what it is... inherently, pathologically insane.
When Quaritch declares ldquo;Wersquo;ll fight terror with terror.rdquo; he is speaking for us. We are the culture which for centuries has crushed all opposition to our vast insatiable resource demands. The Pandora native, Neytiri, speaks of their efforts to enlighten their would-be human ldquo;educatorsrdquo; and in one line says it all, ldquo;We couldnrsquo;t save them from their insanity.rdquo;
That the writer and director, James Cameron, was given the freedom to convey his messages is probably due to his prior huge financial successes with Titanic and Terminator II. And, of course, he still had to include the requisite action and romance components for Avatar to receive the US 0 million in funding he needed.
In the movie, the planet itself finally strikes back against the humans attempting to destroy nature for their short-sighted short-term gains. Some may disagree, but I see that there is symbolism intended here. Outside the movie, our own planet will also strike back. Perhaps not in as visually dramatic a way as on Pandora but in even more deadly terms over the time frame of the next 100 years according to the science on climate change. (For those still confused by all the hot air on the subject of climate change read the facts in Poles Apart: Beyond the shouting whorsquo;s right about climate change?)
James Cameron is no fool. He could have just made a blockbuster. Instead, he is using one of the few remaining effective means of communicating with the masses in an age of information overload to say ldquo;wake up, look at the path we are on and get off it while we still can!rdquo; For we are, in fact, facing a perfect storm of six global threats of which climate change is but one.
But unlike in Avatar, we donrsquo;t have another planet to flee back to.

The spoilers I am writing about come from a book called Mid-Flinx (written in the 90's by Alan Dean Foster) but so like Avatar I thought it may have been a movie inspired by the book. As I was sitting through Avatar, I found myself recognizing a lot of the concepts from something I had read before. Had to do some digging but found my old paperback and sure enough a lot of the stuff in Avatar could have been lifted directly from Mid-Flinx. Take away the human controlled Avatar and the rest of the story is insanely like Mid-Flinx a few different creatures but eerily the same. A human lands on a planet where everything in the forest is trying to kill him, found by a green colored alien female who starts to watch over him, teaches him how to survive in this planets jungle without being quot;disrespectfulquot; to the ecosystem, when animals/natives die returning them to the earth as part of an cycle, being brought before the natives and eventually being accepted by them, the natives having (in Mid-Flinx) an empathic link to a single creature they bond with for life, a large tree where the natives live described in the book exactly like the tree in Avatar, a planet wide mind that exists in everything and links everything, aliens that come to hunt and are destroyed by the planet mind controlling things in the forest and the natives. Even the scene where they jump from the tree and use the large leaves to break their falls has a similarity to a part of the book where they jump off a branch and use a huge leaf to break their fall. I was bothered by these similarities. 1 or 2 similarities I can deal with but this was a bit much for me. Read the book and tell me what you think.
AVATAR has been James Cameron's newest flick and this time he takes us into the world of Pandora. AVATAR is like a shiny new car, it looks great and when you drive it [see it] it's all that you imagined. AVATAR is one heck of a flick and I definatly recommend it. Its got a original, complex story-line and James Cameron definatly knows how to entertain. He may have topped his love-boat flick, TITANIC. Well, I thought it was better than TITANIC, anyway, and that was a great movie too!
ACTING:
Sam Worthington, from TERMINATOR SALVATION, and soon to be in next years remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS plays Jake Sully. Worthingtondoes a remarkable performence and I think that from this he will shine. Signory Weaver also stars in this sci-flick and she does a very strong performence. As for all the other performences, they were well done.
VISUALS:
James Cameron brings us amazing visual effects in this one. He creates a whole new world and brings it to life on the big screen. The visual effects are absoutly stunning and something to see. If your planning on seeing AVATAR, I recommend you see it in 3D. The color and texture of the film is pure-genious.
OVERALL:
OVERALL, a great, interesting, remarkable sci-fi adventure. Go into the world of PANDORA and witness this amazing work of art. AVATAR is a sci-fi lovers dream and this is just one of the best movies of 2009. See AVATAR, it'll be worth your while.

THANKS FOR THE READ!
- THE SCREENWRITER
Oh my gosh, they totally ruined what was one of the most visually awesome movies I have ever seen. How many times did they say 'Mother Earth'. Oh yeah, and of course the military was a bunch of evil, horrible, haters who just couldn't wait to kill everything in it's path. Almost a total waste of time...
Visually stunning - almost an equal to quot;A Bug's Lifequot; at Disneyland.
But enough of the white liberal guilt already. All the natives are voiced by people of color; really?
Humans can fly light years just to go strip mining; there wasn't anything between here and there; really?
It's a cartoon talking to me - wait, didn't I just see quot;Upquot;?
Can't wait to see someone try a filmed reading of the script...they'll need coffee...

Avatar (PG) * * * * *
Lost Generation!
By ROBERT WALDMAN
You have to be good to pull off a 150 minute movie and enthrall people. Few have the proven track record of a James Cameron (True Lies) to command such respect. Besides having the biggest hit of all time, the acclaimed Titanic director seldom rests on his laurels. Now, after being absent from Hollywood for a number of years Cameron and Twentieth Century Fox unleash Avatar on the world. Small segments of this film were previewed to audiences at select film/comic events over the past year. Expect the world to fall head over heels for this fantasy that is now gripping locals at the Park Theatre, the Empire Studio 12, Colossus and Famous Players Silver City Theatre across B.C.
Worth the wait this spectacular blockbuster shows just how good a writer and director Cameron truly is. Story-wise, this 3-D shot movie concerns a plot involving a mysterious planet inhabited by strange creatures and the humans that literally want to ldquo;pillagerdquo; the land for their own purposes. Odd isnrsquo;t it how this sort of ldquo;fictionalrdquo; film can parallel world events. As world leaders converge on Copenhagen to discuss climate change and the effects of global warming one could say Cameron has beat them all to the punch in a tale that looks at how the human race can inflict untold damage on pristine territory ndash; only land that holds unbelievable promise for the future.
Sent down to weed out the elements and to farm this new territory is former G.I. Jake Skully. Served up in fine fashion by Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) Skully comes across as a sympathetic character. To descend into the new alien territory Skully and team enter into some medical chamber where they are ldquo;bondedrdquo; with partner aliens. So on the ground, amidst this indigenous species, Skully winds up in a rather precarious state. After bonding with the locals will he continue his employerrsquo;s plan to wrest control of the region or will he in fact turn the other cheek and rebel against his own species? This is the dilemma he faces and this provides the gist for the whole story.
Fantasy runs rampant in Avatar and the imagination here is tremendous to behold. Through special effects that dazzle Cameron truly takes us to a brave new world populated with a new alien form that will keep you riveted to the screen. Apart from Skully the other notable who winds up being ldquo;clonedrdquo; in this new territory is the team doctor/scientist, Grace. Back for another kick at the can is Sigourney Weaver (Aliens) who is as forceful and blunt as ever as the tough talking woman who at first is suspicious of her new team member but over time decides to ldquo;toleraterdquo; him.
You will believe in this new world as unbelievable attention to detail has gone into each and every frame of this trend-setting film. Said to have been ready for filming for years Cameron had to wait until the technology was able to bring forth the new effects and the masses will be starstruck by what hersquo;s achieved here. More importantly, itrsquo;s the story that really reels people in and never lets up. Tension abounds in this pressure-cooker of a tale thatrsquo;s full of love, romance, power trips, double crosses, evil corporate heavyweights and mad generals out to rule the world.
Watch out for the impressive work of Stephen Lang (The Men Who Stare at Goats) who burns fire as the macho Colonel Miles Quaritch. Letrsquo;s just say this guy has an itch to inflict pain and leave it at that. Aiding and abetting this loose cannon who believes in the shoot first talk later approach to foreign affairs and diplomacy is site director Peter Selfridge, a selfige man indeed ably presented by Giovanni Ribisi (Pubic Enemies) with considerable gusto and panache. Once the final showdown commences pitting man against nature with humans and aliens piling it on yoursquo;ll have little time to catch your breath. Full of brand new creations concerning wildlife and fauna Avatar comes across as being a monumental milestone in creative filmmaking and will spark lots of debates long after its impact has subsided.
Cutting edge special effects combine with an underdog theme thatrsquo;s new and refreshing to make Avatar the best film of the year and likely on its way to give Titanic a good run for its money when it comes to the popularity sweepstakes. Yes, it may be a touch long, maybe 10-15 minutes but there is so much going on in this movie it truly does take your breath away and will open your senses to a new dimension. Shot in 3-D remember to put on those glasses to catch more of the eye-popping effects. Special symbolism also surfaces in this movie that looks to have some religious/cultural overtones. Smart from start to finish Avatar is a stellar story full of warmth and humanity that collides with brute force in a tale of oppression and survival thatrsquo;s sure to be long remembered after experiencing this striking vision first hand.

Best movie since Lord Of The Rings.... finaly 2009 ends wth a bang..
This was my first I MAX and 3D movie I have ever seen. I felt like I was there.
The first images jumped out at me and I was laughing inside my self for many minutes,
as the images were right in front of me. At times I reached out to touch the
parts of the images in front of myself.
This movie has changed my image of movie going.
I well never see a 2d again.
James Cameron has made the most expensive movie ever with a reported cost of nearly 0 million. But could a bunch of Smurfs running around speaking a dorky language really pay off?
The film focuses on a man named Jake Sully. He is a paraplegic marine who is dispatched to the planet Pandora on a unique mission. Jake becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world that he feels is his home.
Some say that there wasn't enough time spent on the script of the film. I actually like the premise of it. The idea of people living in this alternate world and controlling these blue creatures with only their mind is really intriguing. But the expense of the film shines through and that's what the production is all about. Everything seamlessly blends into the screen. The tone, lighting, and texture of the movie made me wonder if this is what heaven looks like.
There are slow patches during the second half that have to do with the romance of the lead character and a creature on Pandora. It tries to make the audience feel sentimental at times but ends up being overly tender. Also, some of the anti-war elements and the messages of staying green are a bit too heavy handed at times.
Overall, I think Cameron has made one of the best technical breakthroughs in a while, but this isn't one his best screenplays. I think you should try to see this in 3-D because I bet it would be really cool with all of those creatures flying in your face. One other thing that's great about the movie is the sound. I truly felt immersed in the film's atmosphere for over 2 and a half hours. This is a good, solid movie that definitely should be seen in the theater due to its incredible technical achievements.
I just wanted to be the first to coin the phrase: "Dances with Wolves on Acid".
Politics are definitely front and center however two hours and forty minutes are painless as there wasn't a wasted frame of film presented.
A steaming pile of New Age excrement served with a sugary coating. Pretty to look at, but definitely not worth supporting the obvious agenda. In fact, about the only New age idea that wasn't glamorized was same-sex marriage. I'm surprised that the director left that out. Do not let your kids see this. Vulgar language throughout. If you want to see this wait for it to come out onvideo.
It's visually stunning but not at all original scriptwise. However, it didn't matter. Titanic's plot was totally stupid and yet the movie was wonderful to watch. Same here. Although, Kevin Costner might want some writing credits.
James Cameron proves again that he is uniquely capable at telling an amazing story thru film. With Avatar, he has accomplished something special - nothing less than a beautifully realized dreamscape that we all get to experience. Some may say that the story is predictable, but I feel truly sorry for those that are so jaded or cynical that they can't let themselves get swept away by the true power of an excellent movie, or would deny some of the central truths at the film's core.
The technical achievements of this film will earn it a special place in the history of movie making. The jaw-dropping audiovisuals, and the completely alternate-reality inducing use of 3D, are all the more impressive because they never get in the way of the story, or detract from the characters. Rather, they propel the viewer thru a world that's so believable, and brought to life so completely, with such wondrous inhabitants, that you'll be sorry you have to leave it. Simply a unique and breathtaking experience.
I was terribly impressed by this movie. The plot was amazing and unique, the landscapes and CGI stunningly beautiful, and there was great accompanying soundtrack. Anyone that's a fan of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or Action should definitely see this movie! Note: I watched the 3D version. The 3D effect is really pleasant. It's not overbearing to distract from the movie, only subtlety enhance things.
With the job of earning trust with the avatar's jake slurry
falls in love with an avatar he must choose to turn on his own human race or will he help his new quot;peoplequot; ~My Review~
I thought it took me on a amazing journey through the magical land of pandora It was the greatest movie of 2009! And it takes you through tears,laughs and suspense all in all You should go see AVATAR now!

Right here, take these plans for wooden toys. We are SO SWAMPED! I don't know why you decided to aid us out and make wooden toys from your own shopbut I am too busy thanking you to care!
Did you hear about the gift shortfall last year? We were about 32,000 shy of our objective. Santa was verydisappointed in all of us. We hate it when he is disappointed with us. He's usually so jolly....
The plans incorporate blueprints, lists of supplies so you know what each and every 1 will take, lists of the best tools so you can't go incorrect there, and step by step guidelines.
Do you have your workbenches set up? You need to have adequate room to move about your projects and great light in order to see nicely. When you paint or stain your projects, you need to make confident you have great ventilationso they dry evenly and fumes don't construct up, causing a health or fire hazard.
Toys can be tough\difficult as projectsfor 1st timers, so if you would rather practice on a larger project to discover to read the blueprintsand gain some practical information, by all indicates go ahead. We trust you to commence the toys when you are ready. Toys are a small portion of the plans you get with the project computer software linked below, so there is bound to be one thing you would like to use for practice.
If you have not worked with wood just before, it is ok. The plans spell out what you want to do properly sufficient for a newbie or an knowledgeable woodworker. You will understand as you go, but to save headaches and frustration, I suggest you follow the instructionsto the letter. That way you can discover from others' blunders and do it appropriate the initial time. This is a pleasant sort of expertise.
I do want to suggest one particular factor - your workspace should be fairly quiet from the outside, at least as far as the neighbors go. You can make a lot of noise in a wood shop, such as the sound of a saw or lathe - or an unfortunate finger and hammer accident.
Don't worry about us keeping up with how you are performing. SinceSanta knows when you are sleeping and understands when you're awake, he can also keep an eye on your projects, so we will be in touch when the time comes. We just may have you handthe ones you make to youngsters you know, so go ahead and make for them. That functions extremely effectively toward meeting the demandthe proper way.
On behalf of Santa and the rest of the crew up right here, "Welcome aboard" and we hope you all the very best with your projects. Now go to the highlighted text link and get your plans for wooden toys.
Hi Guys, I am a married father of 4 and I enjoy working with wood. I have a shop where I make all kinds of factors out of wood and want you to verify out the projects I use at http://diycarpenter.information.

Toys are absolutely critical element for childhood improvement. They stimulate physical skill and encourage creative imaginations. We can find right now young children sitting in front of private computer systems or tv for hours every day for video game and pc game. Many parents concern about this and have realized that classic wooden toys will supply a light relief from this circumstance.
Classic wooden toys permit kids to use their own imagination and play in a way which benefit's them educationally. The most important point to consider is durability. They are no match for toys produced of solid hardwood construction. They are robust and tough that can't be torn apart or broken into pieces. Wooden toys are easy to sustain and with a small care will final throughout childhood and can be preserved to the subsequent generation.
Recent time more manufacturers using wood from cautiously selected and biodegradable sources. Wooden toys are really common for being more ecological friendly compared to plastic and other synthetic wood products. With the latest trend of environmental concern, parents are aware that wooden toys are not only non toxic but are pollution free of charge.
Right now, the toys produced from wood are appears to come back for several excellent good reasons includes low cost and energy for upkeep. Quality wooden toys with a excellent finish are straightforward to clean up and wipe down soon after spill. The other reason is safety. Appear for rounded corners, nontoxic paint, wood that will not splinter and of course no little pieces.
There are endless alternative and fabulous range of wooden toys available. Stick to me to discover some wooden toys which young children can get pleasure from.
Wooden developing blocks have lengthy been a preferred amongst youngsters simply because they can construct anything their imaginations can conceive, from basic tower, houses, bridge right up until the more complicated castles. They may consist of letters, alphabets or pictures painted on them. Constructing blocks are fantastic because they are well-known with a wide range of ages. As the youngsters grow, structures grow to be far more complicated stretching of their skills and imagination.
Wooden toys can also be discovered in vehicles and transportation. The most preferred is colorful wooden train sets. These toys come with all size. Practically nothing matches the thrill and excitement of watching a train run on its tracks. The other is vehicles, trucks, aircraft and boats that the child can push, pull, load, unload and maneuver around.
As you can see, the possibilities of wooden toys are endless. Another common wooden toys are form sorter, puzzles, ride on, board game, food sets, rattles, doll house, play kitchen, toy boxes and kids furniture. All these classic wooden toys stay really common amongst a majority of the youngsters in the globe these days.
A lot of brands are currently well-known for this line of sector. I can mention Melissa & Doug, Lincoln log, Brio, Alex toys, Haba, Plan toys etc.
Sturdy, safe, and with the look of handicrafts, wooden toys, is just a single of the greatest gifts a particular person can give to all youngsters. Parents need to consider for high top quality toys that stimulate our children's minds and senses, produced from natural supplies in a sustainable way. Much more importantly, the abilities created by playing with wood toys will remain with the kid an total lifetime.

Plot The film is presented so as to look as if it were a video file recovered from a digital camcorder by the United States Department of Defense. The film begins with a disclaimer stating that the following footage about to be viewed is of a case designated "Cloverfield" and was found in the area that was "formerly known as Central Park". Robert "Rob" Hawkins wakes up on the morning of April 27th after sleeping with a previously platonic friend, Elizabeth "Beth" McIntyre. They plan to leave for Coney Island that day.
The footage cuts to the next month, when Rob's brother Jason and his girlfriend Lily prepare a farewell party for Rob. At the party, their friend Hudson "Hud" Platt uses the camera to film testimonials for Rob, accidentally taping over Rob and Beth's Coney Island trip. While recording, Hud flirts unsuccessfully with Marlena, another party guest. After Beth leaves the party, what seems to be an earthquake strikes, and the city suffers a brief power outage. The local news reports that an oil tanker has capsized near Liberty Island. An explosion in Lower Manhattan causes the party-goers to leave the building and witness the head of the Statue of Liberty crashing nearby in the street. Hud records what appears to be a giant monster several blocks away. Many take shelter in a convenience store as The Woolworth Building collapses. Rob, Jason, Lilly, Hud and Marlena attempt to escape Manhattan on the Brooklyn Bridge. A gigantic tail smashes the bridge, sending Jason and hundreds of others into the water. The survivors are forced to flee back to Manhattan. Rob listens to Beth's message saying she is trapped in her apartment and unable to move. The news shows the National Guard attacking the monster and smaller, vicious creatures that are falling off its body (named HSP or "Human Scale Parasites" in the Blu-Ray special investigation mode). Rob, Hud, Lily and Marlena venture out to rescue Beth. They are soon caught in a crossfire between the monster and the military and escape into a subway station. They decide to go through the subway tunnels to reach Beth's apartment, but are attacked by several of the parasites. One of them bites Marlena. The group escapes into the Bloomingdale's department store where they are met by Sergeant Pryce and a squad of local United States Army soldiers. They have set up a field hospital and command center in the store. As Rob tries to garner assistance for Beth, Marlena's eyes start bleeding and she is taken away before exploding behind a curtain. Seargent Pryce allows the others to leave but warns them to report to a military evacuation site before 6:00 am, which is when the last helicopter evacuates Manhattan and the Military will enact its "Hammerdown" protocol. This would involve the bombing of the city in an effort to destroy the monster. The group finds Beth's apartment tower at Time Warner Center has collapsed against the center's other tower. They climb the standing tower and cross onto the roof of Beth's building and work their way down to her apartment. Beth is found trapped and impaled by a concrete rebar, but they are able to free her. After the rescue, the four make their way to the evacuation site where they encounter the monster once more over Grand Central Station while the military continues to engage it. Lily is raced into a departing helicopter without her friends. Moments later, Rob, Beth and Hud are taken away in a second helicopter and witness a U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit carpet-bomb the monster. Just as Hud begins hailing victory over the monster, it reaches up and attacks the helicopter, causing it to crash into a grassy clearing in Central Park. A voice on the crashed helicopter's radio warns of the Hammerdown protocol being effective in fifteen minutes and states that anyone hearing the sirens is in the blast zone. Hud and Beth pull an injured Rob clear of the helicopter wreckage, but Hud returns to recover the camera and as he does, a monster appears above him. This is the first time the monster is seen clearly and in daylight. It curiously examines Hud for a moment, then attempts to eat him, spitting out the top half of his corpse. Rob and Beth grab the still-recording camera and take shelter under a bridge in Central Park as air raid sirens begin to blare and bombers can be heard in the distance, indicating that the Hammerdown protocol is about to begin. Rob and Beth take turns leaving their last testimonies of the day, which Rob mentions as Saturday, May 23, on camera. Numerous explosions occur outside as the massive bombing sortie takes place, and the creature is heard screaming in pain. As the bridge collapses and debris covers the camera (The "military intelligence" given in the special investigation mode of the blu-ray version said that this was the only thing that protected the camera during the Hammer-down protocol), Rob and Beth can be heard professing their love to one another as another bomb explodes, stopping the camera's recording. The film then cuts to the footage of Rob and Beth's Coney Island date where, in the distance, an object can be seen falling into the ocean. Cast Further information: List of characters in the Cloverfield universe Michael Stahl-David as Robert "Rob" Hawkins Mike Vogel as Jason Hawkins T. J. Miller as Hudson "Hud" Platt Odette Yustman as Elizabeth "Beth" McIntyre Jessica Lucas as Lily Ford Lizzy Caplan as Marlena Diamond Ben Feldman as Travis To prevent the leaking of plot information, instead of auditioning the actors with scenes from the film, scripts from Abrams' previous productions were used, such as television series Alias and Lost. Some scenes were also written specifically for the audition process, not intended for use in the film. Despite not being told the premise of the film, Lizzy Caplan stated that she accepted a role in Cloverfield solely because she was a fan of the Abrams-produced television series Lost (in which her former Related co-star Kiele Sanchez was a recurring character), and her experience of discovering its true nature initially caused her to state that she would not sign on for a film in the future "without knowing full well what it is". She indicated that her character was a sarcastic outsider, and that her role was "physically demanding". Production Development The poster for Escape from New York (1981) inspired the scene of the severed head of the Statue of Liberty in Cloverfield. J. J. Abrams thought up a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan while promoting Mission: Impossible III. He explained, "We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own [American] monster, and not like King Kong. I love King Kong. King Kong is adorable. And Godzilla is a charming monster. We love Godzilla. But I wanted something that was just insane, and intense." Abrams pays homage to King Kong approximately 67 minutes into the movie, just after the helicopter crashes. When the video of the camera breaks up, a quick scene from Coney Island is seen. This is followed by several still frames from the original King Kong movie. There are two other still frames in "pre-recorded" sequences, one from the movie Them! and one from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms - these two movies are also cited in the credits. In February 2007, Paramount Pictures secretly greenlit Cloverfield, to be produced by Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves and written by Drew Goddard. The project was produced by Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions. The visual effects producer was Chantal Feghali. The severed head of the Statue of Liberty was inspired by the poster of the 1981 film Escape from New York, which had shown the head lying in the streets in New York. According to Reeves, "It's an incredibly provocative image. And that was the source that inspired producer J. J. Abrams to say, 'Now this would be an interesting idea for a movie'." Title The film was titled Cloverfield from the beginning, but the title changed throughout production before it was finalized as the original title. Matt Reeves explained that the title was changed frequently due to the hype caused by the teaser trailer, "That excitement spread to such a degree that we suddenly couldn't use the name anymore. So we started using all these names like Slusho and Cheese. And people always found out what we were doing!" The director said that "Cloverfield" was the government's case designation for the events caused by the monster, comparing the titling to that of the Manhattan Project. "And it's not a project per se. It's the way that this case has been designated. That's why that is on the trailer, and it becomes clearer in the film. It's how they refer to this phenomenon [or] this case", said the director. The film's final title, Cloverfield, is the name of the exit Abrams takes to his Santa Monica office. One final title, Greyshot, was proposed before the movie was officially titled Cloverfield. The name Greyshot is taken from the archway that the two survivors take shelter under at the end of the movie. Director Matt Reeves said that it was decided not to change the title to Greyshot because the film was already so well known as Cloverfield. The other tentative film titles were: 1-18-08 (USA) (promotional title) Cheese (USA) (fake working title) Clover (USA) (fake working title) Monstrous (USA) (promotional title) Slusho (USA) (fake working title) Untitled J.J. Abrams Project (USA) (working title) Greyshot (USA) (proposed title) Filming The casting process was carried out in secret, with no script being sent out to candidates. With production estimated to have a budget of million, filming began in mid-June 2007 in New York. One cast member indicated that the film would look like it cost 0 million, despite producers not casting recognizable and expensive actors. Filmmakers used the Panasonic HVX200 for most of the interior scenes, and the Sony CineAlta F23 high-definition video camera to film nearlyall of the New York exterior scenes. Filming took place on Coney Island, with scenes shot at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and the B&B Carousel. Some interior shots were filmed on a soundstage at Downey, California, Bloomingdale's in the movie was actually filmed in an emptied Robinsons-May store that was under reconstruction in Arcadia, California, and the outside scenes of Sephora and the electronics store were filmed in Downtown Los Angeles. Brooklyn Bridge, as viewed through the film's first-person narrative The film was shot and edited in a cinma vrit style, to look like it was filmed with one hand-held camera, including jump cuts similar to ones found in home movies. T. J. Miller, who plays Hud, has said in various interviews that he filmed a third of the movie and almost half of it made it into the film. Director Matt Reeves described the presentation, "We wanted this to be as if someone found a Handicam, took out the tape and put it in the player to watch it. What you're watching is a home movie that then turns into something else." Reeves explained that the pedestrians documenting the severed head of the Statue of Liberty with the camera phones was reflective of the contemporary period. According to him: "Cloverfield very much speaks to the fear and anxieties of our time, how we live our lives. Constantly documenting things and putting them up on YouTube, sending people videos through e-mail we felt it was very applicable to the way people feel now." Several of the filmmakers are heard but not seen in the film. The man yelling "Oh my God!" repeatedly when the head of the Statue of Liberty lands in the street is producer Bryan Burk, and director Matt Reeves voiced the whispered radio broadcast at the end of the credits. After viewing a cut of the film, Steven Spielberg suggested giving the audience a hint at the fate of the monster during the climax, which resulted in the addition of a countdown overheard on the helicopter's radio and the sounding of air raid sirens to signal the forthcoming Hammerdown bombing. Creature design Main article: Clover (creature) Visual main effects supervisor Phil Tippett and his company Tippett Studio were enlisted to develop the visual effects for Cloverfield. Because the visual effects were incorporated after filming, cast members had to react to a non-existent creature during scenes, only being familiar with early conceptual renderings of the beast. Artist Neville Page designed the monster, thoroughly creating a biological rationale for the creature, even if many of his ideas like "elongated, and articulated external esophagus" would not show up on screen. The key idea behind the monster was that he was an immature creature suffering from "separation anxiety". This recalls real-life elephants who get frightened and lash out at the circus, because the director felt "there's nothing scarier than something huge that's spooked". Marketing Before the film's release, Paramount Pictures carried out a viral marketing campaign to promote the film which included viral tie-ins similar to Lost Experience. Filmmakers decided to create a teaser trailer that would be a surprise in the light of commonplace media saturation, which they put together during the preparation stage of the production process. The teaser was then used as a basis for the film itself. Paramount Pictures encouraged the teaser to be released without a title attached, and the Motion Picture Association of America approved the move. As Transformers showed high tracking numbers before its release in July 2007, the studio attached the teaser trailer for Cloverfield that showed the release date of January 18, 2008 but not the title. A second trailer was released on November 16, 2007 which was attached to Beowulf, confirming the title. The studio had kept knowledge of the project secret from the online community, a cited rarity due to the presence of scoopers that follow upcoming films. The controlled release of information on the film has been observed as a risky strategy, which could succeed like The Blair Witch Project (1999) or disappoint like Snakes on a Plane (2006), the latter of which had generated online hype but failed to attract large audiences. Chad Hartigan of Exhibitor Relations Co. saw several issues with the potential of the film, including a lack of major stars, the underwhelming performance of Godzilla-style films in America, and the film's slated release in January, considered a "dumping ground for bad films". Pre-release plot speculation The sudden appearance of the untitled trailer for Cloverfield fueled media speculation over the film's plot. USA Today reported the possibilities of the film being based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, a live-action adaptation of Voltron (based on a mis-interpretation of the trailer's line "It's alive!" as "It's a lion!"), a new film about Godzilla, or a spin-off of the TV show Lost. The Star Ledger also reported the possibility of the film being based on Lovecraft lore or Godzilla. The Guardian reported the possibility of a Lost spin-off, while Time Out reported that the film was about an alien called "The Parasite". IGN also backed the possibility of that premise, with The Parasite rumored to be a working title for the film. Online, Slusho and Colossus had been discussed as other possible titles. Entertainment Weekly also disputed reports that the film would be about a parasite or a colossal Asian robot such as Voltron. Visitors of the website Ain't It Cool News have pointed out 9/11 allusions based on the destruction in New York City such as the decapitated Statue of Liberty. The film has also drawn alternate reality game enthusiasts that have followed other viral marketing campaigns like those set up for the TV series Lost, the video games Halo 2 and Halo 3, the Nine Inch Nails album Year Zero, and the newest Batman film The Dark Knight. Members of the forums at argn.com and unfiction.com have investigated the background of the film, with the "1-18-08" section at Unfiction generating over 7,700 posts in August 2007. The members have studied photographs on the film's official site, potentially related MySpace profiles, and the Comic-Con teaser poster for the film. A popular piece of fan art posited that the monster was a mutated Humpback Whale. Viral tie-ins Photos on the 1-18-08.com viral marketing website Puzzle websites containing Lovecraftian elements, such as Ethan Haas Was Right, were originally reported to be connected to the film. On July 9, 2007, producer J. J. Abrams stated that, while a number of websites were being developed to market the film, the only official site that had been found was 1-18-08.com. At the site, a collection of time-coded photos are provided to visitors to piece together a series of events and interpret their meanings. The pictures can also be flipped over by repeatedly and rapidly moving the mouse side to side. Also, while on 1-18-08.com, if the page is left open long enough, the monster's roar can be heard. Eventually, www.cloverfieldmovie.com was created. The site provided both a trailer and a number, 33287, which, when texted to from a mobile phone, provided a ringtone of the monster's roar and a wallpaper of a decimated Manhattan. This eventually turns out to be a Paramount number (people later received material on Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Kung Fu Panda, and The Love Guru). As part of the viral marketing campaign, the drink Slusho! has served as a tie-in. The drink had already appeared in producer Abrams' previous creation, the TV series Alias. Viral websites for Slusho! and a Japanese drilling company named Tagruato (, Taguruato?) were launched to add to the mythology of Cloverfield. A building bearing the company logo for Tagruato can also be seen in the TV spot of the eleventh Star Trek film, another Abrams production. When Cloverfield was hosted at Comic-Con 2007, gray Slusho! T-shirts were distributed to attendees. Fans who had registered at the Slusho! website for Cloverfield received e-mails of fictional sonar images before the film's release that showed a deep-sea creature heading toward Manhattan.
On the Tagruato website, the only page besides the homepage that has the "warped sword" symbol is the deep sea drilling, and "Clover" supposedly originated from the ocean surrounding Coney Island. If someone goes to the interactive map feature, the closest station is the "Chuai Station" that was set to open 4 months after the attack on New York. It also states in the "Headlines" section that there has been an altercation and it will be fixed shortly, as they have sent out special teams to deal with the problem. It also states that Tagruato's satellite is tracking a fallen piece of a satellite made by the Japanese government with no luck so far, but says "According to Hatsui data, it disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean late last week" (Hatsui being the name of a satellite that tracked the previous fallen satellite). In addition to Tagruato.jp, Slusho.jp, Jamieandteddy.com and 1-18-08.com have at least one "warped sword" symbol in each. Slusho features it on its homepage, 1-18-08.com features it behind Teddy Hansen's photograph and Jamieandteddy.com features it on its homepage, making it seem as if there's a relationship between the three of them. In this site, a hint to the monster was given after moving around the photographs for some time. Producer Bryan Burk explained the viral tie-in, "[It] was all done in conjunction with the studio... The whole experience in making this movie is very reminiscent [of] how we did Lost." Director Matt Reeves described Slusho! as "part of the involved connectivity" with Abrams' Alias and that the drink represented a "meta-story" for Cloverfield. The director explained, "It's almost like tentacles that grow out of the film and lead, also, to the ideas in the film. And there's this weird way where you can go see the movie and it'sone experience... But there's also this other place where you can get engaged where there's this other sort of aspect for all those people who are into that. [...] All the stories kind of bounce off one another and inform each other. But, at the end of the day, this movie stands on its own to be a movie. [...] The Internet sort of stories and connections and clues are, in a way, a prism and they're another way of looking at the same thing. To us, it's just another exciting aspect of the storytelling." Merchandise A four-installment prequel manga series by Yoshiki Togawa titled Cloverfield/Kishin (/KISHIN, Kurbfrudo/KISHIN?) is being released by Japanese publisher Kadokawa Shoten. The story focuses on a Japanese high school student named Kishin Aiba, who somehow bears a connection to the monster. Based on the successful opening weekend of Cloverfield in theaters, Hasbro began accepting orders for a 14-inch (36 cm) collectible toy figure of the monster with authentic sound and its parasites to be shipped to fans by December 24, 2008. Music and sound Rob's Party Mix Compilation album by various artists Released January 17, 2008 Genre Alternative rock, blues-rock, britpop, electronic, indie pop, indie rock Length 64:02 Due to its presentation as footage from a consumer digital recorder, Cloverfield has no film score, with the exception of the composition "Roar! (Cloverfield Overture)" by Michael Giacchino that plays over the end credits. Similarities between "Roar!" and the music of Godzilla composer Akira Ifukube have been noted, and it has been suggested that Giacchino's overture is a tribute to Ifukube's work, which was confirmed by Matt Reeves in the DVD's commentary track. The sound track was supervised by William Files and Douglas Murray at Skywalker Sound. Rob's Party Mix or Cloverfield Mix is a collection of the music played in the opening party sequences of the film that was released exclusively on Apple's iTunes store on January 22, 2008 in lieu of a traditional soundtrack album. The Cloverfield score, "Roar! (Cloverfield Overture)" by Michael Giacchino that plays over the end credits is not featured on the album, as it is the mixtape played at the party and is not the official soundtrack of the film. This album was distributed to guests at a Cloverfield premiere party held at the Dark Room in New York City on January 17, 2008. A complete soundtrack release of all the music in the film, including Giacchino's "Roar!" end title piece, has now also been released exclusively on iTunes; it has not been officially released in retail stores. A CD entitled Rob's Party Mix comes packaged in a special edition of Cloverfield made available for sale in Canadian Wal-Mart stores beginning on April 22, 2008. Although Ashley Tisdale's "He Said, She Said" was in the movie, it was cut from the album. Track listing # Title Artist Length 1. "West Coast" Coconut Records 3:32 2.

It made ,058,229 on its opening weekend, making it the most successful January release to date. Worldwide, it has grossed 0,602,318, making it the first movie in 2008 to gross over 0 million. Critics mostly praised Cloverfield; as of April 27, 2008, review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 76% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 173 reviews. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of .64, based on 37 reviews. Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle calls the film "the most intense and original creature feature I've seen in my adult moviegoing life [...] a pure-blood, grade A, exhilarating monster movie." He cites Matt Reeves' direction, the "whip-smart, stylistically invisible" script and the "nearly subconscious evocation of our current paranoid, terror-phobic times" as the keys to the film's success, saying that telling the story through the lens of one character's camera "works fantastically well". Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter called it "chillingly effective", praising the effects and the film's "claustrophobic intensity". He said that though the characters "aren't particularly interesting or developed", there was "something refreshing about a monster movie that isn't filled with the usual suspects". Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly said that the film was "surreptitiously subversive, [a] stylistically clever little gem", and that while the characters were "vapid, twenty-something nincompoops" and the acting "appropriately unmemorable", the decision to tell the story through amateur footage was "brilliant". Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the film is "pretty scary at times" and cites "unmistakable evocations of 9/11". He concludes that "all in all, it is an effective film, deploying its special effects well and never breaking the illusion that it is all happening as we see it". Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film an "old-fashioned monster movie dressed up in trendy new threads", praising the special effects, "nihilistic attitude" and "post-9/11 anxiety overlay", but said, "In the end, [it's] not much different from all the marauding creature features that have come before it". Scott Foundas of LA Weekly was critical of the film's use of scenes reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and called it "cheap and opportunistic". He suggested that the film was engaging in "stealth" attempts at social commentary and compared this unfavorably to the films of Don Siegel, George A. Romero and Steven Spielberg, saying, "Where those filmmakers all had something meaningful to say about the state of the world and [...] human nature, Abrams doesn't have much to say about anything". Manohla Dargis in the New York Times called the allusions "tacky", saying, "[The images] may make you think of the attack, and you may curse the filmmakers for their vulgarity, insensitivity or lack of imagination", but that "the film is too dumb to offend anything except your intelligence". She concludes that the film "works as a showcase for impressively realistic-looking special effects, a realism that fails to extend to the scurrying humans whose fates are meant to invoke pity and fear but instead inspire yawns and contempt." Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com calls the film "badly constructed, humorless and emotionally sadistic", and sums up by saying that the film "takes the trauma of 9/11 and turns it into just another random spectacle at which to point and shoot". Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune warned that the viewer may feel "queasy" at the references to September 11, but that "other sequences [...] carry a real jolt" and that such tactics were "crude, but undeniably gripping". He called the film "dumb", but "quick and dirty and effectively brusque", concluding that despite it being "a harsher, more demographically calculating brand of fun", he enjoyed the film. Bruce Paterson of Cinephilia described the film as "a successful experiment in style but not necessarily a successful story for those who want dramatic closure". Cloverfield appeared on some critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2008. Empire magazine named it the fifth best film of 2008. However, the prestigious French film journal Cahiers du Cinema named the film as the third worst of 2008. Bloody Disgusting ranked the film number twenty in their list of the 'Top 20 Horror Films of the Decade', with the article calling the film "A brilliant conceit, to be sure, backed by a genius early marketing campaign that followed the less-is-more philosophy to tantalizing effect... much like Blair Witch nearly ten years earlier, Cloverfield helped prove, particularly in its first half hour, that what you don see can be the scariest thing of all." The movie was nominated for four awards: It was nominated for two Saturn Awards for "Best supporting actress (Lizzy Caplan)" and "Best science fiction film". It was nominated for two Golden Trailer Awards for "Best Thriller for Trailer" and "Most original trailer".[citation needed] The film went on to win a Saturn Award for "Best science fiction film". It was also ranked #12 on Bravo's 13 Scarier Movie Moments.[citation needed] Shaky camerawork Sign at an AMC theater warning customers by likening the film to a roller coaster. The film's shaky camera style of cinematography, dubbed "Queasy-Cam" by Roger Ebert, has caused some viewers (particularly in darkened movie theaters) to experience motion sickness, including nausea and a temporary loss of balance. Audience members prone to migraines have cited the film as a trigger. Some theaters showing the film, such as AMC Theatres, posted warnings, informing viewers about the filming style of Cloverfield while other theatres like Pacific Theatres verbally warned guests at the box office about experiencing motion sickness upon viewing the film and what to do if they had to step out. The cinematography influences the encoding of the video and can cause compression artifacts to fast motion across the field of view. Home media release The DVD was released on April 22, 2008 in two versions:the standard single-disc edition and an exclusive "steel-book" special edition that was sold at Suncoast and FYE retailers in the US and Future Shop in Canada. Other store exclusives include an exclusive bonus disc titled "T.J. Miller's Video Diary" with the DVD at all Best Buy retailers, an exclusive mix CD titled "Rob's Goin' to Japan Party Mix" with the DVD at all Target and Wal-Mart retailers and an exclusive ringtone with the DVD at all Kmart and Sears retailers. Borders also has an exclusive booklet encased with their DVD. The Region 2 DVD was released on June 9 in both one-disc and two-disc editions. The limited steelbook edition is only available from HMV, while Play.com offers exclusive cover artwork. The HMV-exclusive steelbook contains two discs. The DVD includes two alternative endings, which vary only slightly. The first alternative ending shows Rob and Beth exiting the Coney Islandtillwell Avenue station instead of on the Ferris wheel and features different sirens in the background as Rob talks to the camera. In the second alternative ending, just after the final explosion, Beth can be heard screaming "Rob!", followed by a very brief clip of an unknown person looking at the camera (in the commentary, Matt Reeves said that it was one of the crew members) and brushing rubble off the lens. The film then ends with the original final clip of Rob and Beth on their Coney Island date recording themselves on the ferris wheel as the camera tape runs out, with two differences: there is no timestamp in the lower left-hand corner of the screen, and there is an additional beeping tone indicating the end of the tape. A Blu-ray edition was released on June 3, 2008. It includes a "Special Investigation Mode," as well as all the bonus features of the 2-disc DVD in HD. Sequel At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds. According to Reeves, "While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go. The fun of this movie was that it might not have been the only movie being made that night, there might be another movie! In today's day and age of people filming their lives on their camera phones and Handycams, uploading it to YouTube... That was kind of exciting thinking about that." In another interview, Reeves states: There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him. In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another. Reeves also points out that the end scene on Coney Island shows something falling into the ocean in the background (pointed out by fans to be in the far right from the view out of the ferris wheel, a bit left of a boat sitting in the water seen falling just as the camera beeps), but didn't give out details. (This is, however, many days before the start of the film and shows the two main characters on Coney island before they meet again at the start of the party as shown by the date stamp on the footage from the camera. This relates to how events began to happen and the satellite which falls from orbit owned by the Japanese media company mentioned). Producers Bryan Burk and J. J. Abrams also announced their thoughts to Entertainment Weekly about possible sequels. According to Bryan Burk, "The creative team has fleshed out an entire backstory which, if we're lucky, we might get to explore in future films". Abrams stated that he does not want to rush into the development of the sequel because of the first film's success and would rather create a sequel that is true to the previous film. At the end of January 2008, Matt Reeves entered early talks with Paramount Pictures to direct a sequel to Cloverfield, which would likely be filmed before Reeves's other project, The Invisible Woman. Reeves now said: The idea of doing something so differently is exhilarating. We hope that it created a movie experience that is different. The thing about doing a sequel is that I think we all really feel protective of that experience. The key here will be if we can find something that is compelling enough and that is different enough for us to do, then it will probably be worth doing. Obviously it also depends on how Cloverfield does worldwide and all of those things too, but really, for us creatively, we just want to find something that would be another challenge. In an interview with Attack of the Show, J. J. Abrams had stated that they might abandon the filming style, stating that he and the rest of the crew would like to try something new. In September 2008, When asked by CraveOnline what the current status is on Cloverfield 2, Abrams stated that at this point, they are still discussing it; however, he still feels reluctant to work on a sequel. In the same interview, Abrams said that they were working on something that "could be kind of cool." When asked if it would take place in a different location, Abrams replied by saying that "It would be a totally different kind of thing but it's too early to talk about." In January 2010, J.J Abrams confirmed that a sequel is 'in development'. See also Found footage (genre) References ^ "Cloverfield official running time".
