OMG. This movie is soooooooooo predictable. I have seen sooooooo many movies about paraplegic war veterans taken to distant planets inhabited by blue humanoids called Na'vi it's not even funny.
It's like duhhhhhhhh! "Oh wow they look totally lifelike and real and they're blue...." Oooooh. Big whoop.
And everybody's like ooooh look how cool it looks and how real and how awesome it is. And I'm all like "What is this? Roger Rabbit?"
The whole thing looks like it was filmed in some dude's backyard on a HandyCam. Seriously. What'd James Cameron spend his budget on? Giovanni Ribisi's salary??? Pfffttt. Giovanni Ribisi...What? Edward Furlong too expensive or something???
Oh, and who hasn't thought of infiltrating other alien beings by creating an avatar identity to fit seamlessly into that society and using otherworldly medical advances to heal spinal injuries incurred on Earth? I don't know about you, but I think of that stuff, like, all the time.
This is soooooo formulaic. Basically, if you saw "Starship Troopers" or like "Battlestar Galactica" on SyFy you've pretty much seen "Avatar."

A friend's teenage daughter posted that Avatar is the best movie "ever made and that ever will be made." Then she posted some pictures of her smoking pot.
(This sounds like a great story I made up but it's true!)
I thought it was supposed to be the new 'vehicle' for the Blue Man Group.
By the way, the new Sherlock Holmes film was good, although not as good as Iron Man. It would have been better if Dr. Watson had an Iron Man suit.
Wow most people I talked to really liked it, and so did I. Sorry to hear that you did not find it enjoyable :O(
WendyB - Avatar is what the Smurfs looked like when I was a pot smokin' teen. Damn, even the pot head kids don't have to use their imaginations anymore.
A lot of my friends are very excited about this movie and going on and on about the budget.
Personally, I think the whole concept is stupid.
The girl trying to get the boy accepted in her world, until it's destroyed... it's just Titanic all over again, with a blue tail.
Titanic with Blue Tail.. ding ding ding, we have a winner. Oh, not that your post wasn't super awesome, Grant.
Full of that rare movie magic which can transport, entertain and intrigue, this sci-fi fantasy is a fun amusement park ride that ignites your imagination.
if they use "im king of the world" i am demanding my money back
