Saw it again last night, spur of the moment with my fambly (all of whom had already seen it twice, 'cept for mom who only saw it once) and some friends who hadn't seen it.

 

I thought I would hate it this time... I mean, I'd already seen it twice... so I thought the third time I would be sick of it...

 

But I was wrong. Liked it even more this time. I noticed more flaws (there are many flaws in the movie, I will admit to this) but I also enjoyed the good stuff more. Sure, the story isn't unique, not by a longshot. The location is pretty basic sci fi. The aliens are still inexplicably human. Some of the acting feels weird and the main villain is so over the top he's laughable. It seems like it would be better to dig for smaller deposits of "unobtainium" elsewhere as opposed to spending loads of money on missiles and bad press and all that nonsense. There are a host of other weird bits in the movie...

 

But overall, I like it. A lot, actually. The effects are still dazzling, the plot and characters are better than decent... and I get shivers every time the bird things (the name escapes me now) come in swarms at the end.

 

Though we saw one of our friends at the theater (she wasn't one of the ones that came with us, they all loved it)... she said she almost fell asleep she was so bored. :P

Here's a plothole... I heard that the reason the floating mountains actually float has something to do with the unobtainium in them making them lighter. So... why didn't they just mine the floating mountains, huh?

 

I have yet to see it a second time, although I want to since I didn't really get a good feeling of the 3D in my first viewing.

'Cause their electronics don't work well there, so it wouldn't be easy to mine there. I guess.

 

I actually liked it in 2D a lot more.

I wouldn't mind seeing it in 3D or 2D for a second time. The 3Dness was amazing, but it comes at the cost of sore eyes/head afterwards, so 2D would be sufficient for awing at the scenery.

Wait, wouldn't that make the HomeTree all floaty aswell?

It's firmly buried in the planet there. As opposed to just being buried in little chunks in the floating mountains.

 

Actually, the fact that "unobtainium" makes a low-gravity field makes the whole movie make more sense. I wish they'd explained that clearer. I just thought Bossman had an antigrav pedestal, not that the stone was floaty...
