Soulless film-making.

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2011)

Avatar took the joy out of film-making. Everything was done by computers. It looks perfect, but it's not real. It's Dances With Wolves done on a blue-screen. It wasn't that innovative, it wasn't clever, the characters were useless, the plot was poor. Look at Star Wars, or Indiana Jones. It's the grit of the landscape that makes it seem real; the realism is there, because what was created is real. Having pretty pictures that a computer made popping out of the screen doesn't make Avatar a good film.
To me, a good film is more than having exceptional computer generated images(don't get me wrong, what James Cameron did looked great. Doesn't make it a good film, but it looked great). It's about emotion. Avatar had none, it was soulless.
