The teenager Park Hyun-seo is carried by the creature and vanishes in the river. While grieving her loss, her father Park Gang-du; her grandfather, her aunt and archery medalist Park Nam-Joo; and her uncle Park Nam-il are sent by the army with all the people that had some sort of contact with the monster to quarantine in a facility. During the night, Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo telling that she is alive in a big sewage nearby the river. Gang-du tell the militaries but nobody believes on his words, saying that he is delusional due to the shock of his loss. The Park family joins forces trying to find Hyun-seo and rescue her.

3D is it becoming too much?

With the success of Avatar in 3D, it has caused the studio to go back in and add 3D elements to Clash of the Titans. Watching Avatar on the IMAX 3D, I thought to myself there is no way I would ever want to see this in 2D. Nothing can match the experience I had in IMAX, unless I could install one where I live. Frankly, the IMAX screen would be bigger than my entire apartment. This got me thinking if this trend of 3D movies continues how would this change the movie experience? Or is this a trend that people will grow tired of? Hollywood has tried this experiment before, and used the 3D experience to drive people back to the movies instead of sitting down in front of TV. Today it feels like we're doing the same thing. Using 3D to entice people back to the theaters instead of being on the Internet or playing video games. Most people I have talked to have said that they would not have enjoyed Avatar in the 2D format. What does that mean for the longevity of this film? People will rush out in mass to buy the movie, but will it capture their imaginations the same way it did in the theater?

Avatar Suicide Club

Hey every one it’s me Aaron thanks for reading this blog. OK, first off I am going to talk about these support groups for people that want to commit suicide after watching Avatar. First off, it wasn't that good of a movie, and if you believe that if you kill yourself and you will be reincarnated as a giant blue thunder cat then hey go for it more power to you. Yeah I thought Pandora was kinda cool but give this dude an x-wing and light saber any day over the navi. But if you feel bad that people are harming the planet and destroying its natural beauty here on earth go ahead and protest join green peace. But if you want to really make a difference remember good old fashioned violence is the answer why throw stink bombs at Japanese whalers when you can use shoulder fired ant tank weapons pump enough RPGs in to anything and it will go down. That's just my view but if you still need a support group for Avatar remember its just a movie not real and there are plenty of places you can travel on this planet that are just as cool as Pandora.
