Reviewed it again after a next look at it...still good, but not best!

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2009)

Well excuses my bad English I'm dutch and a lousy writer.
Here goes i read about ppl telling others here how bad it is. Then off course you have the other camp telling that camp there "idiots".
I think like music, the ideal movie is a subjective thing. Everybody has a different taste/demand/feeling with each movie the see. I will not bore you with the entire plot synopses because its pretty known how the story is. The movie itself plot wise is not indeed that hard to grasp in fact it is a pretty simple story ..
Humans want something thats of great value $ wise, and off course the blue ppl in this case are sitting on that one and only jackpot.
I admit in the cinema i was bored by it, but to say bad movie no. Its by far the only movie that managed to give me goosebumps! And this has more to do with the fact in a amateur 3d designer. I design in a meta verse world various things that related to avatar/lord of the rings ectra. I make art as i see it and interpreted it as i sell it.
Amazing to see how Cameron managed to put that on the the white screen, the details (specialy when i checked it on 1080p HD quality) really stunning. It gave me goosebumps that some scenes were so well worked out. And so "real" looking ppl that are not in to 3d artwork cannot remotely comprehend what it takes to create just a avatar face like that. What kind of work and craftsmanship it takes let alone a entire MOVIE like that. Really kudos to Mr Cameron and his team by far the best rendering job I've seen since Jurassic park ! Then we come to the cons I agree with most the story is that of a very low investment effort of Mr Cameron, but lets face facts here Cameron has a neck to uphold his reputation of straight in the face action. Take terminator, Aliens (the marines) there many things to be found BACK of that in avatar. Although is appreciate it its pretty annoying as well for the close to 300million spend on this movie.
Some things (take it from a movie knower like me) in a row.
*Recycled sounds of Jurassic park (most recognized them already) thats a big NO for me.
*The flown airships and helicopters are based on aliens (the hull shape) and the dual blade 100% Skynet (terminator) * The battle suits needless to say a nice reference to aliens, were sigourney weaver beats the alien queen with a similar kind of suit.
* Directors trademark : Using actors he worked with before, he made sigourney very annoying, the smoking ectra did not fit her character. Sigourney is a great actress you can tell her scripts was that of a child that bad. She should have had a better role IMHO..
That made the movie for me BESIDES THE SIMPLE PLOT, pretty annoying. And that has to do with the fact take Steven Spielberg, or George Lucas the made movies with a way lower budget. And yes plots are always a big issue but the managed to put something down thats there's. There own vision and own sounds new daring actors as i loved Sam Neill in Jurassic park, i love Liam neeson in the new star wars ectra. The casting was good the effect were good, the sounds are superb.
Thats were Avatar lacked for me
