10 Years (2011)
Waste of time and $1 from Redbox
Did you go to your 10-Year High School reunion? Well, this movie is about as exciting as actually going to a 10-year reunion. In fact, it feels like someone just followed people around at their reunion. To think that someone wrote a script for this and Hollywood actually wanted to make the movie is pretty funny. Reflecting on that thought is funnier than the actual movie. My husband and I rented this movie after reading several reviews by people on how funny it was. Being in the mood for a comedy, we both sat down ready to be entertained. About 45 minutes into the movie, I asked my husband, "Have you laughed yet?" After some reflection, "No," was the answer. There again, that realization was funnier than the movie. I truly cannot express how bad I felt this movie was. If you really need to watch a 10-year reunion movie, rent "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion." Save your $1 and your time.

Went with low expectations, but LOVED it!
I went today with my husband and two sons simply because I didn't want to be left out. After all, I thought it was just a bunch of blue aliens jumping and flying around. I also do not enjoy wearing the 3-D glasses as they give me a headache. Then I saw that it was 2 hours and 40 minutes of wearing those glasses and watching blue aliens. Needless to say, I had extremely low expectations. I'm not one of the people that has been following and anticipating this movie for years.
As it so happened, I absolutely was mesmerized by this movie. I loved the plot. I'm sitting there thinking someone had to have been on crack to come up with the world of Pandora due to how creative it was. I really want to go there and fly on those dragon-like things. I thought the transformation of Jake was so cool. The 3-D effects were amazing, but I would have definitely enjoyed this movie without it.
In fact, I have only seen one other movie more than once in the theatre and it was Titanic...another James Cameron movie. I can tell you that I will see this one again and I can hardly wait to buy the Blue-Ray disk and see all the extras on how they made the movie. That will be awesome!
