I was starting to think I don't have the attention span for movies longer than 2.5 hours, but now I know for sure that I just don't really care for the Avatar franchise.
I enjoyed Zero Dark Thirty a lot more than I expected. Historically I'm pretty mixed on war films, and I thought this was going to be more focused on the Seal Team Six parts, so I was pleasantly surprised that so much of it was about the intelligence leading up to the raid. I know the raid is the big payoff, but it was probably my least favorite part of the movie. I liked how it was shot with the night vision and everything, but I was missing Jessica Chastain, and I had Chris Pratt instead.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical, unflinching chronicle of institutional obsession spanning a decade of pursuit, interrogation, and tradecraft that culminates in a taut final raid. The film treats terrorism and counterterrorism as a grinding bureaucratic and moral maze rather than a heroic narrative.
