AVATAR.....thoughts?
 

I just went to see Avatar. Loved the special effects, but the plot was so predictable Stevie wonder could have seen where it was going. (Can you say "Live Action ***Ferngully, the last Rainforest***"?) And what is James Camerons hard-on with Marines? After watching this, I think he slept with an Ex-Girlfriend of Michael Moore or Al Gore for his insipiration! Oy Vay!

But the Special Effects and the acting was AWESOME! Plot was predictable, but the Actors ALMOST made me forget about it!

I haven't seen Avatar yet Frank, but I know what you mean about James Cameron's predictable plots. When I saw Titanic, I just knew that ship was going to sink! :D :p

What the hell?? Dont spoil the movie man! :mad:




;)

Haven't seen the movie yet. But I have been buying the little blue savages. They look great for a off-world adventure like Stargate or something. And they look great near Cobra blue.

HAAAAAAHAAAAAAA!!!! :D

I might see it. I'm really not at all into the Second Life style furries as heroes and the Marines as villians (or so the commercials have me believing; I don't know anything about the story, really). But I really like 3D movies. Did you see it in 3D, ender? Anything too sexy for kids?

The critics said it was a great movie up until the end part where Cameron was trying to send a message. But hey, The Abyss did the same thing but all the critics seem to have forgotten about that. If you really think about it, ALL of Cameron's movies have a message in it. It's just whether we the viewers can recognize it.

Can't find it in Titanic? Well, that's what they get for building a ship so big!


Also, we ALL know that the people didn't actually die in the Titanic. When the ship flipped over and sank, an underwater air pocket formed which allowed these people to mutate. They've been living in their own Atlantis for many years and want nothing to do with the humanoids of today. (Yes, the later turned into the aliens in The Abyss)


Sorry if I spoiled anyone on that.

I saw the Sigourney Weaver 3 3/4" figure at Walmart yesterday, and was going to buy it... untill I realized it was $9!

Saw it today and enjoyed it. Visually it's absolutely stunning, and while there's some very interesting sci-fi concepts I agree that the overall plot is very unoriginal. Basically Last of the Mohicans/Dances With Wolves/Last Samurai in space. The friend I saw it with argued that it's a "classic" story and it works, so it's OK to retell it in a new way, but I'd have liked a bit more originality beyond the setting.

All that said, I'd like to see it again, in 3-D again, at an Imax cinema if possible this time!

Well, perhaps it IS a CLASSIC story of so-and-so vs the savages or hi-tech cilivization vs 'romantic' way of life.
