Looks good? Maybe, but nothing more than a tech-demo

Rating: 1/10 (9 March 2010)

At 2009 November i read and heard anywhere avatar avatar. I didn't know what is this, so searched for in on google. I said "hmm a maybe a good sci-fi? I like those films", so i watched the trailer, than i thought this is not that i want, its looks like a fantasy film for children, and not like a scifi.
But the hype was go on, and i thought i know what will happen in film, just from the trailer (rare mineral, natives don't wanna give it to the government of USA, so they attack them, and a soldier who fell love with a native female, will change his side to help to natives.
But I still wanted to see what is so good in this film(as i heard in hype), so i've watched it. In the story exactly that happened what i predicted from trailer, so it was boring, with full of clichés... no, not just clichés, it was a full copy.
The cgi was look good, but just the PURE cgi, and just technically. Let me express what i mean:
-just the pure cgi looked good, because the real things (fe. marine soldiers), what have been copied on cgi were looked awful. It looked like a simple copy paste with magic wand tool (like in photo manipulation softwares), because the lightning and the colors was completely different in cgi and in the copied real pictures.

the lizard-donkey-human hybrids (navi) looked ridiculous, they look so funny. It's good thing, is that this film flash and reminds what happened with native Americans in real world... Oh and i forgot the best! UNOBTAINIUM! When i heard this i said "did i heard correctly? unobtainum?" then i started to laugh so loud. This is the most idiotic name that i ever heard.

So this is an eye candy tech demo movie, with a very simple and boring story, with big 0 content. Maybe i am old fashioned, but for me the first thing in a film is the story, and the last is how the film look like, because for me the eye candy is just extra, and it's not enough alone for me.
