Great visuals, Horrible dialogue

I have to only give this a 3 star review because the dialogue was so terrible. There's not much else I can say about the film visually, it could be the best ever, especially in 3-d. The story was great, it has so many layers. To me, I thought it was a direct corollary to the Iraq War. We premptively invaded to go search for oil, in Avatar it's another resource and we must have it at all costs. It's a story about Government and especially capitalistic greed. First go see Up in theAir, then see this. I also have a problem with the whole concept of "highest grossing movie ever." You see, there's a problem with that. Ticket prices just keep rising so, of course, every couple years some blockbuster is going to keep breaking the record. I think two stats show the true box office winners, 1. you have to count for inflation, which means, 1939's Gone with the Wind is still the box office king with $1.5 billion. 2. I want to see a "butt in seat" number. How many tickets were actually sold, because with tickets being roughly $10 only one person needs to buy a ticket unlike when they were $5 when it would take two people to account for 2010's one. Now I will get off of my soapbox.

Hmmmm...can't believe you like up in the air as well as you do. I saw it yesterday. I see why people like it, but I don't see why people love it. Have you seen 500 days of summer?
