The movie itself was surpringly amazing. I expected the 3D to be cheesy and to distract from the movie itself, but it really enhanced the entire experience for me. I was completely absorbed by the story. I admired the lead character and I ended up wanting to bang that blue alien chick in the end. Three hours just flew by for me and I will definitely go see it again. The plot was really simple. The bad guys even simpler. But I still loved it. | ||

Dancing with smurfs, watch the south park episode :D From a sci-fi perspective, this film is horrible. Even the title is wrong, since an avatar is a virtual rapresentation of oneself and that thing is more like a hybrid replicant. Models are recycled from other scifi films or even videogames. The story is a linear good vs evil very similar to dancing with wolves. It has the merit of bringing scifi to the masses, but this works only once, becuase even people not interested in scifi will start asking questions and will find out this film makes no sense by the time avatar 2 comes out. | ||

Anyone has the original screenshot of this Pocahontas essay (btw writted solely for this purpose of humiliating Avatar)? I want to play around so I can literally fit any movie into it. | ||

I've gotta disagree with you, if anything this proved how powerful the sci-fi epic genre can be. The film makes perfect sense except for a few tiny mistakes that most people wouldn't even notice unless they read about it. | ||

People like Ganondorf won't be able to name one movie that doesn't have these inconsistencies. It's called attention whoring and it's really popular these days. People don't realize that it's way cooler to not bitch about Avatar because every douchebag has already bitched about it. | ||

Pretty much true, it's always so cool to bitch about something that's hyped and amazing. Fuck the haters. Money speaks louder than worrrrrrds. | ||

But seriously, the only reason why I watched it was because other people said it was good and it had 3D effects. Disappointment IMO. And LOL, it really resembles the essay posted above. | ||
