Dances with Smurfs

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2010)

Just watch that episode of South park instead. It was considerably over-hyped, and The CGI was just "okay", and every time I was almost impressed I could think of being considerably more impressed by the visuals I've seen recently in silly things like video games. I did not find it even slightly enveloping because for one the aliens were so awkward looking! and not to mention that neither the science nor the logic of using the science made any sense whatsoever, I found no incentive at all to suspend my disbelief. The story was simple and quite honestly very boring. I had heard before hand from a g4 interview with James Cameron that it was a very "tree-huggy" story and I thought I could stomach it, but it went a lot further with HEAVY elements of Native American and African "spirit of the planet" worship. The odd "mating scene" while not sexually explicit was incredibly awkward and entirely off putting. I got up and left before the climax but after most of the movie was done, and I only stayed in the theater that long because I thought everyone else in my party was enjoying it, they hated it almost as much as I did. My biggest regret is that we contributed to the revenue of this terrible, terrible movie.
