Movie "avatar"

[apollo_creed]

Agree, Titanic didn't have any substance either. A love story, and a poor one at that, on a sinking boat that we knew was going to sink.

Not if Tarantino does an adaptation of the story.

Not bad - it was better than i expected; but then again I wasn't expecting much.

Way too much appeal to 'spiritual' cliche for my tastes however. They could've been a a bit more subtle about it.

And it dripped with the AGW meme and the evils of capitalism the whole way through as well. At least try and be a bit clever about it.

Did anyone just get the Iraq war theme through the whole movie?

Army moves in and to get their natural resources blasting away the locals that try to stop them.

The complaints about the plot are a bit silly because it is supposed to be familiar. Cameron didn't want people thinking about the intracasies of the plot while they watched, he wanted you to be totally engrossed in the fantastic imagery on the screen. Sometimes having a deep, convoluted plot is just not the right way to go, and I think the simple story in Avatar is just right for the style of film it is.

Sit back and enjoy being sucked in to a wonderous world instead of thinking how silly unobtanium is and you'll have a great time.

Wait for the DVD.

Smash hit Avatar boasts plenty of action but not of the bedroom variety.

Now Zoe Saldana has revealed that a sex scene was shot but was axed from the final movie. The gorgeous star says the steamy session was between her Na'vi character and lead Sam Worthington. And she explained how the native blue humanoids get it on.

"If you sync to your banshee and you're syncing to a tree, why not sync into a person?" she said. "I almost feel like you'll have the most amazing orgasm, I guess. It was a very funny scene to shoot because there were so many technical things that sometimes you have to keep in mind that paying attention to all those might disrupt the fluidity of how a scene is supposed to take place."

Director James Cameron cut the scene, which will be included on the DVD, to protect his PG-13 rating.

After a mere three weeks since its release on December 17, James Cameron's 3D science-fiction epic has taken $1.2 billion at the global box office, making it the second-biggest movie of all time. And by the way it's going, it's likely to topple Titanic as the biggest hit in history

As an example of how great a film can look, Avatar is a legitimate milestone, the exquisite detail of Pandora brought to vivid life by motion-capture technology and a new-generation 3D process.

As an example of movie storytelling, Avatar is a distress beacon for just how dire the art of big-movie narrative has become.

Bad enough are the eco-cliches, the platitudes about the grandeur of nature, the stereotypically evil corporation, the awful dialogue, the gaping plot holes. Worse is that the film's premise actually makes no sense

My thoughts exactly. Visually appealing, weak story.

If District 9 can incorporate awesome special effects with an interesting story with at least a dash of moral ambiguity I don't see why Avatar couldn't.

That said Avatar was fun and as an aside - here's a little mashup I made for for the the lucrative Avatar/Mighty Boosh crossover audience

Re: "AVATAR" - the new James Cameron movie to come out in 2009

Man, the overrating of this movie is reaching Dark Knight levels.

It was quite good, but nowhee near the best of the year. Its special effects were good but that was expected. I would hve been nice if the plot delivered more.

Re: "AVATAR" - the new James Cameron movie to come out in 2009

Even the mythical who are living in the jungle Navi have whiter than white teeth.

Hollywood is sad.

I wonder if it has a happy ending.

The Watchmen was good because it was bleak like Terminator, LOTR and Mad Max.

James Cameron is raping their wallet, yet all these geeks are going back to watch it again and again.

Is Navi pronounced as naive?

I refuse to go and see this.

They'll probably have ewoks dancing with the giant aliens at the end of the film.

All that ranting and you haven't even seen it?

The biggest geek in this whole situation is you, Sir. Keyboard Warrior.

Others just go and enjoy it for what it's worth with their mates...and then resume living their lives. Which is something you might want to look into having sometime.

That's very clever So Avatar has also ripped off storylines from the Boosh now, what next?

Actually there's been talk for a while now about a Mighty Boosh movie, don't know if anything will ever come of it though.

Thanks mate

Yeah the Boosh movie is going ahead apparently - I'm soooo keen for that.

The guy that directed the tv series has a different film just coming out called Bunny and the Bull which features Noel and Julian in support roles plus several other Boosh regulars.

Trailer here...

Well I’ve booked my tickets for tomorrow night in 3D

Given all the write ups I’m expecting it to be a half baked show with some nice pictures.

Honestly, the visuals are so good that the plot doesn't matter that much. If you don't go in expecting it to be a brilliant movie then you will have a heck of a lot of fun.

I enjoyed 'Avatar' but I thought this was pretty clever and sums up some of the storyline complaints.
