Lol, wow. Bohrok...tipping? This was great! Please do more -- I could see a similar Visorak Documentary being worth-while. -Akamu

Well that was relaxing to listen to. I also agree with Cherixon and the hue you gave the pictures. I like it. *awaits for more info on Spring 2012. -Akamu

Yeah, you've earned some awesomeness points alright. Your introduction makes me want to buy a toy Bionicle chemistry set -- Too bad they don't have them. The chart is very helpful, thanks for putting it together. -Akamu

Fantastic work, RC! Lhihann and the Kanohi Dragon is my favorite scenic wise, but the Takadox close up had to of been my top favorite because of the depth and expression. I would love to see that completed. As for Chirox, I'm favoring that upper torso region -- probably because it's the section that pops out when I view it. Would it be possible to color the piece and still keep that effect? -Akamu

Even though the plot line was, lets admit--basic, there was a lot that was put into that movie. First it's the first movie, soon to be trilogy as rumor has it, in ages that challenges trekkies to learn a new language other than Klingon. bortaS bir jablu’DI’reh QaQqu’nay, anyone? Second, the graphics are ground breaking. No, I'm not one who sees a movie, or a video game for that matter, and says "Wow! That movie was great because it has awesome graphics." Trust me. However, I do look at the work put into it and Avatar ranked high on that criteria. I went and saw both versions, 3D and non-3d, in theaters. I've never been too fond of 3D, but this was the best I've seen...especially with the fog. No one does fake fog right. Now aside from the 3D aspect, you've got to look at all the different plant and animal life. A lot of "science fiction" movies, highlighting the more modern ones, will only put forth an alien animal here and a few alien plants there, but Avatar went ahead and created quite a variety of animals, not to mention a vast amount of plant life. Studying the structure of both I found was incredibly fun. I remember seeing two different trees, each with a different from of lizard-like layering. Even with the banshees, it was compelling to see how many different patterns that they used for the backs. The other detail that I liked looking out for was the difference between the Avatars and the Na'vi. The Na'vi had four fingers (and toes?), but the Avatars had five fingers and toes. Jumping back to the animals, they as well mostly had four fingers/toes and usually consisted of a hexaped design. To see those move/animated was awesome. The only minor struggle in that animated movement was when the hexaped horses had to trot. (I could go on about this....) Soundtrack wasn't repetitive either. How many times have you watched a movie and they just used the same soundtrack over and over again. Or worse, a squeal was made and they used all of the exact same tracks for that film, that was on the first one. Must we also note that Avatar actually attempted the genre of science fiction. Too many movies these days are labeled science fiction when they are really horror, horror-romance, or worse, sci-fi soap operas. A key factor that many "sci fi flicks" are missing is that no one even tries to input a scientific reason as why something happens the way it happens. However with Avatar, for instance, why do the "Hallelujah" or floating mountains, float? Well, because they house the Unobtanium which was noted to have magnetic properties. (i.e. The reason why all the equipment goes wacky when approaching them.) So basically we have these huge pieces of rock floating on the magnetic field of the planet. Personally, I am so glad that someone didn't come out and say, "Because the force willed it." And that's just the short version. It's hard to tear apart a movie and analyze it just by seeing it twice. (It was 2 hours and 40 minutes long.) Yeah, it's not 100% perfect, but it's one of the best I've seen in a long while. Where as I'm a die hard fan of "great plot," this really wasn't too bad. It beats a lot of the stuff they're feeding us these days. -Akamu
