My home on the web

Yesterday I went to see Avatar in 3D. Finally!

It was the first movie I saw in 3D and it looked good. I guess they could have used the 3D more, but it was a good experience nonetheless.

The movie is good. Story-wise is simple, with the simple ‘Advanced race goes against natives, spies befriend natives, natives fight back, natives win’, but in terms of visual effects is really great. While seeing the movie it made me feel in a way I haven’t felt since Star Trek XI. This is probably going to be the winner for the best picture in the 2009 Oscar’s.

OK, so where do I start?

This movie is brilliant. Its shocking, is way out there, it pushes boundaries to places no one never thought of going before. And is amazingly cool.

I went to see this movie today, actually just arrived from the cinema, and everyone was laughing from minute one until the end. And in the end people were clapping.

Its a funny movie, but if you get impressed very easily, then maybe this is not the movie for you. There is a lot of explicit sexual content, so, don’t take your kids to see this movie as well (is 18+ for some reason).

X-Files: I Want to Believe was released on dvd on the 24th November, and I grabbed the collectors edition.
Is composed by three dvds: the first one has the theatrical and extended version, plus some deleted scenes, the second has some blobs, trailers and a 80m documentary about the X-Files.

For some reason, the basic X-Files one dvd version comes with a ‘I Want to Believe’ poster but the X-Files collectors edition does not. I wonder why…

About the movie itself, is basically a two hours episode. It doesn’t offer the viewers the answers to the questions left on the X-Files finale, The Truth. I for one would like to know more about what happened after.
In truth, it feels like for this movie they just forgot the last three seasons of X-Files. I mean, on The Truth the main characters were pretty much fucked up. The FBI was after Mulder, definitely the aliens would like to get their hands into Mulder as well, and in this movie is like ‘come Mulder, all is forgotten and forgiven.’

The episode, sorry, the movie itself is good. Is a good story, with some twists a couple of times, and the acting was good as well. It was also good to see Mulder and Scully together again.

If you are a X-Phile, then this is definitely a must buy item.

Meanwhile, I’ll wait that in the future there is a third movie that addresses what was left in the air on The Truth. Or better yet, give us the tenth season.

Only five more months to go, so that we can go to the cinema see the new Star Trek XI, directed by J.J. Abrams.

The movie will be a return to origins, where we will see the young days of the crew of Star Trek. Kirk, Sulu, McCoy, Ahura and Spock, among many others, will make us company during the duration of the movie.

A second trailer has emerged, and this must be torture. A trailer like this, and we still have to wait five more months. So far, it looks like the original canon will not be followed, so maybe this means a new era for Star Trek will begin now.

Maybe one day we may have more than a glimpse of NCC-1701-J.

Also, make sure to check the trailers following this link.

The second X-Files movie is due on the 25 July 2008, on a cinema close to you.

This is a much anticipated movie, on which Fox Mulder and Dana Scully will try to find the truth once again.
