Amazing....For Those Who Are Into This Kind Of Stuff.....

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2010)

Sorry...I did not think Avatar was MINDBLOWING. Yes, it is creative and visually entertaining...but the hype that was stirred up about it seems a little over the top in my opinion. It was overly promoted to sell tickets..and make movie goers think it was a MUST SEE film. The storyline seemed good...but the CGI effects were nothing special..they are almost a required part of every action movie being made today anyway. When this film was first advertised...I thought...WOW..it is going to be a milestone in filmaking history...but...no...it was just another movie overly promoted by the media to make money. I wonder how many people went to see this because of the hype...and because seeing it labeled you as "cool"or on the "cutting edge" when it came to film viewing? Following the crowd just to see a film like everyone else is boring. Seeing a film because YOU think it will be entertaining is the way it should be.
