I made it out yesterday to see Avatar.
The overall look, The bullet nosed ships, Marines working for "The Company", Am I the only one that thinks Avatar is set in an earlier time-frame on the same world as Aliens?
Come to think of it, there are a lot of nasty ass creatures on Pandora. I wonder.....
Story wise, I'd say Camron read some of the same books I did growing up. Harry Harrison's 'Deathworld' series comes to mind. To bad Avatar did not include power holsters. I always thought that was a cool idea.
I can't wait for Avatar to make it to Blu-Ray. It will be one helluva test for any home theater sound system. One specific scene ought to topple Kung-Fu Panda off the list as a
sub woofer torture test.
