did we all really watch the same movie?

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2009)

did all reviewers here really watch the same movie as i did? well maybe because i didn't watch it in 3d...but seriously this movie does never ever deserve to be in the top 250...best rating you can give it is mediocre yes the cgi are nice and some of the pictures are really great and beautiful - the film might set a new standard here (altough some of the movements from the cgi characters, especially the navi still don't look realistic and sloppy) BUT thats pretty much there is to that movie...
the story/plot (if you could even call it so) is dumb, unbelievable and 1:1 copy paste from a lots of other movies that went the exact same path like who dances with wolfs (and did a much better job) - after 10 minutes of the movie i could already EXACTLY predict what would happen and how it would happen - plain boring the characters are absolutely flat, unbelievable and stereotype and you feel no empathy or sympathy for any of them - the main character sully is completely unbelievable and dumb - the other characters are so stereotype that a 10 year old could have come up with them - you got the mad army chief, the jealous rival, the love which looses trust in you and then gains it back..i mean come on - seriously??? what annoyed me the most - if you base your movie solely on pretty pictures then these need to blow me away - this simply didn't happen, one reason for this is also the lack of fantasy in the movies...
James Cameron simply lacks the imagination to really create a fantastic movie such as Jim Burton for example can - let me explain the planet of Pandora is fantastic - but its exactly that kind of fantastic 99% of the people between 5 and 90 could have come up with... simply look at all the "alien creatures" - you simply take any earth jungle inhabitant, add some tentacles, change the colour voilà - alien creature...oh dear - if i watch a 500 mio "fantastic" movie i am excepting to be blown a way with stuff i could never imagine myself, but Pandora and its inhabitants looks like something you can come up with if someone asked you to describe an alien world in 30 seconds i am disappointed and i don't think this movie deserves all the credits it gets, especially taking into account the huge cost
