  ...Right. Ok, so I'll be honest. The first time I saw this I thought it was a technological masterpiece and was blown away by what I was watching. I rated it 4 stars.

  Now, watching it at home on the small screen, I had to struggle to finish it. I was bored out of my skull. Sure, it is still a feast of well made CGI and innovative technology and I applaud Cameron for it. But he should have thought about the plot a bit harder. Just a tad.

  Still, the plot is what it is and doesn't do justice to the visual achievements, but that's not what irked me about it now. This film's ego is too big. It…

  do you hate trees? then don't watch this movie. it's got one of the biggest trees i've ever seen...

  that being said, srry i still think this is pretty sweeping, romantic and awe-inducing sensory spectacle while also being the kind of sci-fi pulp Last of the Mohicans shit that has us military mechs with giant bowie knives committing war crimes and giant aliens piercing marines through their choppers with giant arrows. (so many random dudes dying memorable deaths by shredding, squishing, etc... the kind of touch we lost when our 80s/90s action guys got phased out.) obviously narratively derivative and clunky in ways boring people love to talk about endlessly but also completely sincere in its environmental, spiritual, and anti-imperialist…

  Theatrical Cut

  Interconnected humanism. Arguably Cameron's strongest in regards to his immaculate blend of tech fetishes, romantic sweep, high-concept ideas, and classical structure/discipline. A big brain and brawn and heart collage, and just plain ravishing adventure. Cameron is a pro at basic, fundamental mechanics; fluid, gripping, efficient exposition, gradual succession of set-piece intensity, sturdy characterization, and mixes of genre. "It's just Pocahontas!", they say. Excuse me, but does your precious Pocahontas (ignoring the common knowledge and reliance on the mythic idea of the 'hero's journey' for centuries) have giant-bowie-knife-wielding-mech-suits battling alien creatures? Or massive native arrows plunging through mean little men as they desperately try to uphold their capitalistic escapade? Or dragons, connected and controlled through nature's constant flourishing…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I would say that I don't understand why this movie gets so much hate, but that would be a lie. I get it. I get that most people these days don't enjoy movies *as movies*. They may think they do, but they really just enjoy the fact that movies entertain them. There's a difference.

  What people don't like about Avatar is that it was made to be a good movie, and not made to be a dumb source of entertainment for the misguided youth of today. Yes, it has a classic structure. Yes, it has common themes. Yes, it's a *story*. And that's what most people these days don't care for.

  There are other reasons people will blindly dislike this,…
