I thought that Avatar was pretty mediocre. |
|
Looked cool, but the plot was totally predictable.

It was Dances with Wolves/Ferngully in space.
I don't get the hype.

2. A well worn story for sure, but the packaging was so good |
|
and the story was fairly tight. Geez, most movies and TV shows and plays are variations on a well worn theme. But it is how it is presented. Avatar was well presented.

5. tight ? I could have eaisly cut it 20 -30 minutes. I thought it dragged |
|
horribly in places. The beginning was slow and a lot of it was unnecessary. The end went on forever and the story never ends. The toys suck too. meh.

3. If it wasnt for the 3D and cgi boobs I dont think it would be a big hit. |

I'll definitely admit that the plot was beyond predictable and that it's been used countless times, but I think it's all in the presentation in this case. I was certainly awestruck as I saw the effects. But, then again, I'm a sucker for pretty sci-fi movies. :)

6. I suspect that it's one of those films... |
|
a lot of people are going to be embarrassed that they liked it in a few years time.

9. I didn't see it. Everyone I know who saw it said it was lame. |
|
Avatar is probably worth seeing solely for the visuals. That would be worth $15.

Hmmmm, I just discovered one advantage of living in Bangor.
I loved "Crash"! It's interesting, everybody's various reactions to the same thing. :)

10. Agree about the plot but still thought the rest of the movie made up for it. |
|
I mean...come on, it IS a James Cameron movie so I didn't expect much as far as plot and script.
I went in there expecting a good follow up to Alien, Terminator 2, Titanic, True Lies, The Abyss - and I got exactly what I was looking for, in IMAX 3D!!!
I thought it was great.
