Simply don't watch it (means it's really, really bad).

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2009)

Well, as a lot of normal (1-star rating) users have pointed out, the whole movie feels like a trip on LSD - maybe visually stunning, but rather to be avoided. Throw in expressions like racism, white guilt, xenophobia and you're bound to hit something. Almost all reviews I read stated that the visuals were great. You know what they say - the prettiest flowers grow on a dung pile. We're almost in the year 2010, people! It's a GIVEN that a movie with this budget would have great CGI! And while not exactly standard, it's hardly something to write home about. How disappointing that so many moviegoers would be dazzled by this light show, like CGI is the only criteria that matters. Granted, the CGI artists did a great job, so what the hell did James Cameron do? After all, it's his name you'd associate with this disaster. It's one thing to steal ideas from other directors, but when Cameron has to steal from his old movies, you know it's gonna be bad. Acting, the little there was, was bad, corny, flat, whatever. Cameron didn't care, why should I. Also the many, many plot holes so big you could fly that red critter through. They didn't even bother to think of original (or at least appropriate) names. A mineral called Unobtanium? And what's with the misleading movie title "Avatar"? Trying to lure in some unsuspecting WOW players? Don't want to get personal, but when you see users hand out positive reviews, some serious name-calling is in order. I really don't get how "directors" like Cameron and Uwe Boll (yes, I'm now using both names in one sentence) get their funding. Maybe it's a scam, like in "The Producers", where Cameron actually makes more money by creating a total flop. That's the only explanation. There's also Cameron's (as he might think well) disguised military/political critique. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about what directors, actors or writers think about politics and much less the statements they make in public. They probably know as much about politics as I know about Terraforming. The world view Cameron tried to convey in his movie over a period of two and a half hours is not only naive, but utterly unrealistic. If there was a mineral worth 20.000.000 a pound, ANY company would not only relocate the natives living there, they would put them all into a giant meat grinder, just to see if their bones contained trace amounts of that mineral. Just think about it. Let's say there's a superior party that badly wants something that native inhabitants possess and won't part with. One group has a large war machinery behind it and combat training, the others have bows and arrows. Something's gotta give...
