well for something that calls itself scifi theres an aweful lot wrong on the science side
apart from that 5% wont make an difference to your muscles theres also the (as good as) fact that there are not gas giants at alpha centauri and that its nigh on impossible for a moon of a gas giant to suport life
Jupiter is a gas giant, and Europa is one of its moons, though I wonder if perhaps the planet's magnetsphere might have an effect on any potential life there.
Sometimes you guys take movies way too serious... movies which shouldn't be taken serious, movies which are just entertainment.
I've seen 2012, the story was terrible, the realism a joke, but it was good entertainment. Same with Avatar... one of the most bland and "worn out" plots i've seen recently, but it was simply a blast to watch. Not everything needs to be deep and have a powerful story behind it, blabla... get over it and try to just enjoy the show maybe?
allright you got a point lets put this differently
its nigh on impossibly for a moon of a gas giant to support surface dwelling sun supported life
jibber ive yet to see anyone here who felt that avatar was a waste of ~2 1/2 hours of their life (although you could easily shave of half an hour or a whole hour without losing anything in that movie and make it less drawn out) but you will find rather a lot of people who dont think that this was the best movie of the decade or that ir redefines cinema or whatever else exaggeration has been said about the movie before
Well from my point of view i don't think i'm taking any of it too seriously. That doesn't stop me from finding Avatar extremely overrated, and 2012 the worst film of last year, and possibly one of the worst I've ever seen. (2012 was so bad it's the only time I've ever left the cinema before the end of a film. )
Avatar was quite enthralling visually for 45mins. +The novelty wore off quickly though, and by the 1.5 hour point i was dying for the film to end to end. I just found it dull. Trust me, i was just there for the ride for both of those films, but neither did it for me.
As you can see from my earlier post, Inglorious Basterds was my favorite film of last year, so needing a "deep and powerful story" isn't exactly high on my list of must haves when it comes to whats makes a good movie. (though a great story and something that doesn't insult your intelligence is always a nice bonus)
The real test of what makes a good film for me is whether I'll buy it on DVD/Blueray having already seen it, and will it get many repeat viewings over the years. 2012 i have no desire to see ever again... Avatar i certainly wont buy. It has to be seen on a huge screen, preferably IMAX in 3D. That is what makes it the "experience" it is. I think once people sit at home and watch it on their TV's they will see how very average a film it really is.
Some say it doesn't have a good storyline and some say it has freaking awesome special effects (true), but all we know is i FREAKING LOVE the Transformer movies!!!
I can certainly agree with that, it was by no means an outstanding movie, nor was 2012. I simply enjoyed it for the eyecandy it was (and i've watched it online, not in the greatest quality... and it still worked for me).
When the film 'The Neverending Story' came out (I was 8) I couldn't stop thinking about it and I wanted desperately to be Atreyu. I also read the book about 8 times because I couldn't get enough of that place.
Well me and my friends (we are mid 20-ies) all felt something like that after the film Not in the Emo kinda way, with tears, but i did kinda felt a bit down knowing i'm back in the grey reality
(though a great story and something that doesn't insult your intelligence is always a nice bonus)
