Ch35 (02:34:56) - Nice Music to Reflect on What You Just Saw
Acting: There's no noticeable hiccups, no hesitation in the lines. The
actors make you believe. Their delivery will make you feel all the
emotions in the movie.
Special Effects: There's no question; you will be on Pandora and you will feel it.
Audio: There wouldn't be a Pandora without it. The music sets the
scene and the sound effects complete it.
Movie Message: Life is much deeper than we know it.
Recommended for: Anybody that loves action, intrigue, love and exhilaration. You
have to be able to sit a long time though, unless you make use of
the recommended Snack Break times.
My Comment: I've watched this movie many times and have not tired of it yet. I
do choose my viewing times carefully though. The movie is long
and you need to be receptive to all of the emotions portrayed by
the characters as their personalities unfold. Let your mind be free
and you just might find yourself on Pandora.
