- Avatar is not an MMO as I previously believed. And, good thing, because as an MMO I’m not sure what material there was left to do a game. In fact from what I’ve read, the game isn’t that great (it got a 65 on metacritic with a 7.4 reader rating, subpar to most of the games I purchase… I pretty much draw the line at 80/100 if I don’t love the intellectual property for some specific reason.)
- After consideration of my top three movies, I’ve decided that Avatar does in fact inch out #3 (Butterfly Effect). Fight Club (#2) and Matrix (#1) remain safely in their place.
- Avatar made somewhere between 220 and 232 million world wide during it’s opening weekend. It’s justified it’s enormous budget on the promise of continued ticket sales, and there is already talk of sequals.

Your review matched another I read only today. I had no interest in seeing it at all, but you’re awfully persuasive! I doubt I’ll have any trouble convincing Jennifer to see it at the movies– but I’ll try to make sure I see it in 3D.
