A V A T A R & S T R A N G E R T H I N G S
A little review (no spoilers)
Ok, ok… where do I even start?! Honestly, both of these were just WOW in my opinion.
The day before New Year’s Eve, we headed to Showcase Cinemas in Southampton (a firm family favourite of ours) to watch the new Avatar film. We loved the first two, so we already knew this one would be right up our street, but even with high expectations, it still completely blew us away.
The level of detail and effort that goes into these films is honestly mind blowing, and this latest instalment did not disappoint. It was emotional, edge of your seat stuff, full of highs, lows, and moments that were just utterly mesmerising. There were definitely a few tears shed along the way.
Despite being a long film, it never once felt boring or like it needed to hurry up and end (which I can’t say for all longer movies). If Avatar is your thing, I’d absolutely recommend going to see it, popcorn at the ready 🍿.
Now onto Stranger Things- the season finale and final ever episode.
Jaime and I started watching Stranger Things when it pretty much had just come out quite a few years ago now, well before all the hype, and once we got into it we were completely hooked. We’ve followed the show from the very beginning, watching the characters grow and the story evolve over the years, so going into the final showdown felt incredibly emotional.
I won’t spoil anything, but once again… there were tears. I know there have been mixed reviews, with some people wanting more, but honestly? I think it was the perfect ending. It felt right.
It was also really special that the older two girls got into it too. They’ve been catching up over the last few years, and in the run up to season five, Harper rewatched the previous four seasons about three or four times, safe to say, we have some serious Stranger Things fans in this house!
Without giving too much away, we absolutely loved both of these and they made for the perfect Christmas viewing for us. I’d love to know your thoughts, have you seen either of them, or are they on your watch list?
