One of those movies that the "making of" will be more interesting.

I finally got the time to see Avatar yesterday. I had a good time. It was eye-candy, and entertaining enough. But I failed to see anything too special in the film. The 3D experience wasn't worth it for one thing. I was fed up with it after 10 minutes and felt a shame i wasn't watching it 2D. The polarized glasses darkened the screen horribly, and the amazing colors that would have stood out otherwise, appeared bland. Other than that, the slight "fuzziness" that they cause made it very irritating to watch the action scenes. I must say that the human actors looked great in 3D, which made the experience worthwhile. To bad they appear for about 30% of the movie. Other than the 3D, CGI and visual/audio effects, the plot was rather bland. I would think that if you were working on this film for so long you could have found the time for a few script changes to some moments that made the film seem cheap. This wasn't a film made to supply Hollywood with some summer blockbuster, but the script makes it seem so sometimes with the rather corny dialogs. As for the world Cameron created. I've seen more wild and curious worlds in Jim Henson films, and they were made with puppets. The creatures are poorly designed, and show a weak imagination to the bizarre. The screenplay fits our day and age like a glove. Well, come to think of it, it would be current 9 years ago, and it will probably be current thirty years from now. All in all, the film was a fun summer blockbuster experience, but the story can't be saved by any visual effect. I wouldn't be proud to announce that this film was 12 years in the making.
