Who watches these cornball epics?
Blue people: The Saga Continues...
The Smurfs: All Growed Up Now.
Looks like I have to wait till Christmas 26’ to see Dune 3. I’d rather wait than watch this Avatar crap.
I always found this amusing-full disclosure, I have the Avatar movie simply because I am a 3D enthusiast and I purchased it for that reason alone...:)
I thought they were visually interesting...
Based on the commercials, this looks beyond cheesy. More “indigenous cultures imagined by leftist drug addicts”. Boring.
I don’t believe these films are as popular as they say they are. 100% propaganda.
Yup—it is well known by screenwriters that Hollywood interviews are toxic.
It is very common for the studio to want proof of writer bona fides with unreleased drafts.
Then they turn the applicant down and just steal their stuff.
I watched the first movie. The storyline turned me off as it was nothing more than the age-old story of humans invading and colonizing a planet to procure its resources. Couldn't bring myself to watch what has come since.
Let me guess. The evil humans from earth and their infernal technology are again threatening the peaceful nature-worshipping natives of Pandora.
Politics aside, I thought Avatar was entertaining. Second film, not as much; the new had worn off.
You can do that with Pilgrim’s Progress, just make the changes and voila, you have the Wizard of Oz.
As did I. With the first t one I was able to mentally background thr hyper-enviro message for the graphic appeal alone. Have not watched The Way Of Water and not sure I will.
Part II really sucked.
I’m waiting for Critical Drinker’s review before I spend $ on part III
Made it halfway through the first one. Despite the dazzling special effects, it’s just the same old tired noble savage trope gussied up. The most fascinating thing for me isn’t the movie, it’s that Cameron has devoted so much of his life to this thing all the way out to Avatar 5 in 2031(?)
Agreed. Visual effects were great in the first one. But it had enough white-man-bad to make me not want to see another one.
It’ll need to make $2bln to break even.
