AbielleRose Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) The Last Airbender directed by M. Night Shyamalan Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang (Noah Ringer) discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara (Nicola Peltz), a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), to restore balance to their war-torn world. Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film The Last Airbender is the opening chapter in Aang's struggle to survive.

Fi. Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Me! And not just because of Jackson, I was a secret fan of the Nick show and I love M. Night Shyamalan Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 I love M. Night Shyamalan His movies are always great! (Jackson is an added bonus ) Ugh! I can't wait until this summer. Hopefully they won't release close to Eclipse. Quote
Fi. Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Well, Eclipse opens on July 9th in the UK and Last Airbender opens on August 13th so a month apart here Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Sounds perfect! I wonder if there are any books that the story is based off of. *goes off to investigate* Quote
Nollaig Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 It's based on the kid's cartoon isn't it? Quote
Fi. Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Yes, it is - should be interesting to see how well it translates. Quote
Kell Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Me! It's already on my list of movies I want to se this year - it looks like all kinds of awesome! I'm a Shyamalan fan anyway, but this looks like it could be something breathtaking! Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I'm another Shyamalan so will be definitely watching this too Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 I don't think its possible for Shyamalan to make a bad movie. Everything I've seen from him has been fantastic. Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I agree, I think Sixth Sense is my fave, what's yours? Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 I love The Sixth Sense and The Village. This one looks so different from his past work because of the fantasy aspact. It will be interesting to see him sort of break into a new type of film, so to speak. The special effects in this look amazing and just from the trailer you can tell that the film itself will be incredible. I just hope the story is as well. Quote
Fi. Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Sixth Sense was good but it was spoilt for me because someone blurted out what was really going on 5 minutes into the film I think my favourite is The Village closely followed by Lady In The Water. Quote
Univerze Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I don't think its possible for Shyamalan to make a bad movie. Okay, I disagree, I was quite disappointed with the Happening. I was very excited about that, and in the end I was like.. what? The TREES did all that? The plants, and trees made all those people go nuts? I mean.. the rest of the film wasn't bad, but that one seriously disappointed me. But I will love to watch this new film, seems great, loved the trailer. Quote
Talisman Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I am definately planning to see this - it sounds just the sort of thing I like, and as others have said, his movies are usually interesting and somewhat different. Quote
arewenearlythere Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Unbreakable is deffo my favourite Shyamalan movie, as of late I think his movies aren't that good because he tries to 1-up himself. Last Airbender looks good, my kids also love the cartoon! Shyamalan finally is moving away from movies with gimic shock endings so I'm happy Quote
Kell Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Unbreakable is my least favourite of his movies (I've not seen The Happening, but I've seen all the others from Sixth Sense onwards). Quote
arewenearlythere Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I hear that alot, people generally say its boring and long. At its heart, I like the superhero element of the movie. Might be because I'm a comic fan (^^)---b Quote
Fi. Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Unbreakable is my least favourite of his movies Mine too, I've seen it twice and I just can't bring myself to like it Unbreakable 2 is apparently about to go into production, don't think I shall bother seeing it if it ever gets made. Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Hey everyone! Since M. Night Shyamalan seems to be such a popular filmmaker I just created a thread for him so that we can discuss all of his films. http://www.bookclubforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=364523#post364523 Quote
