It's a fun movie to watch every once in a while especially on a big screen with a balls out surround sound.  But I'd never pay the 30 bucks for the blu ray.

it's just so so so generic I can't stand it.

James Cameron and co. created their own world, with a unique language, and interesting set pieces. Avatar is hardly generic. How many films of this ilk actually have their own world crafted specifically for the movie? Very few. Most are adaptations from another source.

Avatar haters are contrarians who want to feel special.

"Where's the story? This was a tech demo."

There's not a lick of action in Avatar for like an hour and half! There's like an hour of half of story and plot development. :rofl

I'm not saying Avatar is the best movie of all time, because it ain't, but many of the complaints and criticisms aimed at Avatar are ill-founded and completely idiotic.

Avatar has $749,766,139 and that's not counting rentals or dvd/blu ray purchases. This also counts for domestic income. That's 749 million more than the animu you're watching has probably earned.

I liked it for what it was, wasn't amazing or anything but who cares. Soon you'll grow up and get to watch real scifi!

Off topic time!

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I thought at the very least it was a very competently made movie. Unlike many movies I've seen lately, the dialogue didn't make my eyes roll right out of their head nor did I hate the characters -- in fact I liked all of them. Even Clu was somewhat sympathetic, this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkDWF_aqods) is awesome cause it shows how human he is. Heck I even loved that weird bald dude. A character that could have just been a bland stand-in is given life and character.

I never got the impression anything was underdeveloped, or made me question the plot, or made me hate the characters. That's the baseline for a "good" movie so I don't get why it's hated on.

I do have complaints; the biggest I can muster is that it didn't have enough emotional resonance, but it was still there. The black and white dream skipping stones, "Goodbye kiddo." They should have played that up. People harp on the solar sailor part but I thought it was pretty crucial. Oh and obviously young Bridges CG was bad but that's no reason to hate the movie.

But I love the movie overall.

it's not that avatar doesn't have a story, it's that it's one of the most antiquated and overused stories in Hollywood showcasing some of the western worlds most banal representations of imperialism.  To me it's no better than Crash in terms of how blah and inconsequential it's message is.  It would have been so much better without a story!  If it were just 2 hours of visual art and fight sequences with no plot whatsoever it would be awesome as hell.

I saw Avatar in theaters twice.  I enjoyed it for the spectacle, though the second time the slower bits lulled me to sleep.  Great action padded by dullness.  Watched a bit of it on hbo not too long ago and still mildly enjoyed it, but not enough to watch the whole thing.  For its long run time there's not a lot of interesting stuff happening.  And I don't like the 'heroes'.  The natives are vain and the humans are creepy fetishists.  The smarmy business guy and badass super white military guy should have won.

Tron Legacy is just awful. 

Tron Legacy isn't a good movie, but Olivia Wilde > furries so it's got that going for it.

I loved it when, before the big battle, they like pray to the tree spirit god of the forest, and then they fight and get reckt by the technofascists, but then in an awe-inspiring emotional turn of the tide the forest comes alive or some shit and secures their victory and it's all beautiful and James Cameron is a master genius.

Yep it is an extremely fun movie with great visuals and soundtrack, the hate is from indie fanboys per usual.

On WYL and Twitter Costanza would constantly post the bad reviews for it without having seen it. :lol

The set design was just godly, the director was a designer and it shows. Most convincing and slick looking computer world ever. In fact the set CG is so good I'd almost call it timeless if not for CG Bridges. :-\

Music was on another level. I loved (I mean, really loved) Reznor's score for TSN but I think Legacy's should have gotten the Oscar nod. But that wasn't ever going to happen I guess so I'm happy they at least acknowledged the second best score that year.

On WYL and Twitter Costanza would constantly post the bad reviews for it without having seen it. :lol

I would hesitate to call Costanza an indie fanboy seeing as most of what he likes are semi mainstream movies, and he also thinks anything made before 1986 is shit so there's that.

Really? He always seem to have an indie bent to me. I mean he's always jump down someone's throat for insulting Catfish or Submarine.

That isn't indie dude, that is "indie"

See edit?

Anyways I don't see the difference... I was more commenting how he was lambasting a movie he hadn't seen.

It's a fun movie to watch every once in a while especially on a big screen with a balls out surround sound.  But I'd never pay the 30 bucks for the blu ray.

WTF, it's US$10.49, dude:

Yeah I couldn't finish watching it. I think I got an hour (maybe) into it and just shut it off.

And this comes from someone who loves Ang Lee films.

I dunno, the visuals were pretty sexy.

Seeing Roger Dean's floating islands being rendered completely representationally was really impressive.

I wish Cameron would pay Roger Dean, the same way George Lucas owes some money to the Dinotopia people for Naboo.

I'm sure I'd love Avatar, because I basically like anything with lush SF/fantasy landscapes. Someone could make a movie that consists 100% of panning around mystic CG forests and stuff, with no characters or action or anything, and it would be my favorite movie ever. That's why I haven't seen it - I don't want to be in the awkward position of really liking a movie that I objectively know isn't very good qua movie

I see Avatar and I just think about how another prolific sci-fi director in Ridley Scott is going to release Prometheus this year and basically shit all over this movie.
