Sorry Kristina I have to disagree here. Avatar IMO was the best film of the year. Sure, it could have had a little better story telling, but the effects are the highlight here. It completely took me into Pandora and I would love to go back.

You never want to say youre the best movie ever, you never want to be the next Avatar or the blogs will eat you alive and all movies will attack you.

Horrible advertising.

Lol Delgo.

Btw i wonder what happened to that case. I bet they just threw money at Delgo and kept it quiet.

I just couldn’t get into this movie. I sat back and watched from a distance, but I was never invested in what was going on. I didn’t have a violent grudge against it. I didn’t go in hoping to hate it. I was just meh to the marketing and I ended up being meh to the movie.

And yeah, there are lots of Dances with Wolves ripoffs out there, but at least some of those get me involved and interested in the culture they explore and the characters involved. This was a bunch of blue cats with USB plugs for hair. I just did not care at all, even during that big emotional sequence near the end. Like my rating says, it wasn’t a total loss, but it wasn’t all that, either.

Its not a dances with wolves ripoff. Im sure any movie from the last decade has the same exact synopsis of some other movie that came out before it, nothing is original anymore. Name any movie from the last 10 years and im sure theres more that came before it with the same ammount of similarities that Avatar had with The Last Samurai or Tarzan

There was ONE part that looked fake. When the “tiger” was trying to claw Jake’s face off and he was hiding under the tree at the beginning. I thought the rest had great effects. Nothing that would make me go bananas but they where great effects

Towards the end i actually really did care, but not for Jake, i just felt bad for the Na’vi. It was a really sad scene (but dont take my word, im a ****ing pussy when it comes to movies, i cry in almost every movie i see)

I think this movie is a perfect example of bad advertising, the hype was so huge that reviews are very nit-picky, the film was NOWHERE in the ballpark close to “BEST MOVIE EVER” like the trailers claimed and itll never live up to the standard they themselves built up to it.

But in my irrelevant opinion i thought it was a really good movie.

BTW
I think the best cgi showed in this movie was Jake’s paralyzed legs. Those looked extremely real. Sure it was a trick but they still looked aggressively real and i dont know how they did that. It wasnt CGI… so how?
Im sure its nothing too tedious to pull off… but i cant get over how real his disability looked
