A different point of view on James Cameron's Avatar

James Cameron is one of the people I respect the most in this world. Not because of his directing skills, but because he managed to convince the world he made a great movie (Avatar), this way making a gazillion dollars. And he got some awards too. Very good, Cameron!

Let's analyze the movie!

The story: the Americans attack a foreign land (not Irak!) to steal a valuable resource (not oil). So they kill and destroy everyone and everything in sight. They have a motif too: they want to civilize those "pandorian" savages. So, to be honest, we have a movie about the American invasion in Irak. That's so cool! I bet CNN is more fun.

The lack of imagination:

Pandora's inhabitants look very similar to people, only they are blue and taller. Strangely enough, the animals look very similar to those on Earth, only they have some extra legs. Also, on Pandora you can see some extra large predators. In fact, they are so big they can't walk through Pandora's jungle. That kind of species should be extinct for a gazillion years. It would have never survived. It's like watching a lion chasing a gazelle and the lion would keep hitting the trees.

Next on my list: the flying mountains. They look so cool, but in our universe, at least, the law of gravity still works. A word of advice for the writer of Avatar: STOP SMOKING WEED! Enough is enough! Even good things will hurt you, if you exaggerate.

Sense of humor: zero

The movie is filled with stereotypes. Every character knows a joke he's dying to tell. It's true that you've all heard it before, but hey: not every one has Seinfeld's sense of humor. The lines are so lame I almost fell asleep.

Talking about the lines, here's one that I love: „I didn’t sign up for this shit”

That's what a military helicopter pilot said when the army was ordered to destroy Pandora. It has to be mentioned the helicopter was LOADED with guns, bombs, flame throwers etc. She (the pilot) must have believed that by joining the army, all she'll have to do is push ups, sprints and the occasional drinking. Well, lady, SURPRISE!! Army is about killing!!!

That's all. If you didn't see the movie yet, you should. This way you can decide yourself if you like it or not.
