Avatar

Great advertisement, great effects, everybody talking about it these days... What is it? I'd say you've guessed it. New Holywood blockbuster about big-eared blue aliens - Avatar. Be aware and don't let your expectations overwhelm you.

Everyone will have big time watching this movie in 3D with beautiful visual effects as, no doubt, filmmakers did very good job! But I won’t talk about this side of the coin. There is the other side, very important for me, and it’s called “story”.

Unfortunately the story of Avatar is right opposite to its effects – very pour. No new idea, very predictable, very “Holywoody”. I think everybody could write such movie after seeing couple of classic Holywood productions. Maybe even without it. Really, I think it was just a waste of time for me and is not worth of watching again or buying DVD or BlueRay. By the way I got a feeling that this will be the first widely available 3D BlueRay (or whatever technology it will use) movie for 3d televisions…

Lets make this short and put my thought in the list:

  • Pure American fairytale.
  • During the last battle all 5 animal species of the planet came to help Nubi to kill humans.
  • The human hero was aliens’ Jesus, the chosen one.
  • Undestroyable negative hero – the captain.
  • Whole American army are idiots except the captain, the chosen one and chosen one’s companions.
  • And, surely, they were all Americans. Not, lets say, Chinese.
  • But it was also a bit different, I have to confess. Kind of good idea that humans didn’t win.
  • Very actual problematic of “back to nature” approach.
  • Animation was great.
  • And, surely, a bit of sex or whatever it was.

So, that’s my thoughts. And I also agree with following end of the movie ;)
