Id rather watch The Smurfs

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2010)

In the future a planet is found that has valuable rock on it and the US gov. makes look-a-like versions of the people on that planet. The bodies are shallow and can only be controlled by human minds, so the people who control these avatars get put to sleep while their body gets sent out on this planet. One of the guys get lost on the planet, he mingles with them and even though the US soldiers think he is going in undercover to help them, in reality he is falling in love with the people there, especially the girl (who we'll call smurfette). Evetually the soldiers decide to go to war to get this rock thing they want and if you have watched more than 3 movies in your life you can pretty much figure what happens.
BORING AS HELL! This movie was so slow and so god awful that I barely made it through. Its so full of C.G.I. that it's pathetic, I might've liked it had it been animated. I found the story very predictable and boring. There was nothing unique or new here. Movie fans are like the biggest idiots for rushing out and making films like this so big.Big Budget SUCKS. You see the guy in the wheelchair and you know he's gonna be the hero of the film. The stupid avatars looked horrible, I hated the way they looked. The music was so bad and this movie was so produced and full of gimmicks that it had absolutely no heart.
I did like the symbolism of how if Americans want something they will get it and don't care who they have to kill to get it either. I hate those soldiers and this movie showed just how brainwashed and born to follow they are, nicely represented.
James Cameron is a horrible director, does he even direct? I mean with all the C.G.I. and fake backgrounds and studio shots, what was there to direct. Beautiful colors and scenery but it wasn't real so I hated it. Acting wise I did think Sam Worthington did a good job, but little else. I have liked Sigourney Weaver at times, but here she is just basically being Ripley again. I like Giovani Ribisi but here he was like Jeremy Piven which is as bad as it gets. I also like Michele Rodriquez, but I am beginning to not like her..From Fast and Furious to Lost to Blue Crush she is EXACTLY the same in every movie.
So if you are one of those people that love Hollywood hyped movies, love talentless directors and love movies because they have big budgets and no heart or nothing original then this is your film..I gave it 2/10 stars and not really sure why it got that high of a rating.
