My Movie mayhem and R’Avaatar Review

Have u ever get use to the daily monotonous everyday routine u been doing since like forever? For a student preparing for the exam of his life, studying recklessly would be the more appropriate behavior. Eat, sleep, do nature’s many business, I for once decide to take a little break, an excuse to abstain starting to do the past years and avoid the never seemed to finish microbio report which always seemed to have spaces no matter how much u crap. Like gone with the wind, I took the 12.30pm bus straight way but things got not so well at first.

Upon arrival at 1.15, I was please to know I got plenty of time to buy the 3.00pm movie ticket. My plan was to buy the ticket and quick lunch. Unfortunately, the next train was arriving at 1.42pm~ seemed like the KTM driver also need a nap. On board the train seems ok, problem is somehow the driver manage to reach Midvalley at around 2.15. So upon rushing to the ticket counter, to my horror there was a queue till the McD. Without hesitation, I queue like a good citizen=no jumping queue. After 10mins of waiting, the queue reached halfway. To my shock AGAIN, the 3.00pm 3D avatar was sold out. The next was at 6.45pm. The not 3D avatar still got 2.30pm and 4.25pm but still the seats were selling like wafer. With 13 seats left, I place my bet on the 2.30pm movie and pray fervently that the people in front were too dumb to notice.

2.32 pm, I was still stuck with 15 people in front. I was really nervous cause if I failed to get the 2.30pm seat, I have to buy the 4.45 pm seat meaning i will be going back at 9pm to uni later. Adding to my anxiety, I found out that I forgot to ATM, leaving only RM19.20 left. Mental calculation told me that with the ticket, I won’t have fund for the popcorn~ which means starving while watching. With the race against time and verge of financial depression, I was really tense. Plus the 4 person in front was chitchatting which movie to watch while walking really really slow which was getting on my nerves.

2.40. Miraculously the 3.00pm 3D Avaatar suddenly got 52 free seatings. And with RM 1.20 left in my wallet, I manage to get the best middle seat in the theatre with some time to ATM and buy the McD lunch package. Advice: don’t try to buy ticket 10 minutes after the movie started.

The movie was, I can say is one of its kind. 167minutes of alien flora and fauna to some military might showdown, the experience was a roller costal ride. Personally I think the movie were quite good and enjoyable, minus the bladder endurance training and the occasional feet kicking cause the person beside u was too excited. Some parts were a bit weird but overall I was impressed by the realistic effect- actually it is more realistic than Transformer 2. After advices from Facebook, i decide to try the 3D version of the Avaatar-RM18, where u need to wear glinking goggles that leave dent in your ear behind. At first u feel and look funny but after a while u get used to it. Once accustomed, the 3D effect really make the character in the movie quite reallife, except bless ur ears after the almost 3 hour movie for non-spectacle wearer. I was constantly tickering with it to prevent it from sinking into my nose skin like the Titanic. So from sinking gigantic ships to unobtainable “unobtanium” ore, Jack Cameron the director has done something weird again, which is great for us. I won’t spoilt the story so better watch it urself.

So as of now, with the rain outside and the bus aircon freezing my feet, my advice to all people who think they like stress, take a break, go watch Avaatar.
