The Airbender

Got the chance to watch the premier today. Surprisingly it was not that crowded that I'd to book the tickets last night in fear of not having a good seat or maybe, sold out...! I am yet still to watch the animation though to know more about the characters. Yet from the storylines, I am actually happy with the way the movie goes. It's not simply cheap overrated movie that people might think of lately due to the critics from the reviewers.

The waiting is coming to the end...

Maybe the vibes are not like when I watched Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter..etc of the nearly same genres, nevertheless, the epic is there. The storylines are narrated a bit rush that it makes everything summarized in which I think movie like this should last for more than 2 hours rather than 1hr 30-40 mins. In fact, this is entitled as Episode 1: Water. Which means there would be one or two more movies on the way sooner or later, representing Earth and Fire.

Posing before entering the cinema :D

The idea of putting characters that are not Chinese/Japanese/Korean..etc looks are also out of the real characters from the cartoon itself. I can see like 80% of the characters are Indians. Is it because the director himself is an Indian that the racism seems to be there? Good thing that Aang's character is 90% matching the cartoon character itself :) Anyway this ain't no bad movie of course. The effects are beautifully done and the musical scores are as majestic as I would expect. Although the fun factor is minimal, I can still say that the monotone percentage is also minimal too. I really love to see the next chapter of this movie if there is any...
