An evil plot by the "evil" American government, a display of America’s military power, some fighting here and there, cool special effects, a love story, and victory of good over bad. Mix all this together and you get a Hollywood blockbuster. So what made avatar different from the other similar recipes?? What did it have that made it THE biggest ever grosser in Hollywood history, recently surpassing TITANIC??? Was it those blue creatures on that moon so close to a planet that people could stand and talk between the two heavenly bodies. Or was it the display of 21st century military equipment being used in 2154??? Or the love story between a human and one of the blue (apparently female) na-vis???
If you are one of the hardcore avatar fans who go "Woooooooohoooooo" at every mention of this movie (which i believe is the only population that could like this movie) then go away now, don't waste your time here.
Frankly, the movie was no more than a bunch of haphazard, not-so-well-thought-out ideas that were put together in a movie that primarily was just AWESOME special effects. I'm a guy who works on animations in flash himself, so i really appreciate the wonderful animation techniques used in the movie. But as far the plot and storyline go..... mediocre!
The movie was conceptualized in the 90's, scripted for a release around '99. But citing the lack of "proper technology" back then, the start of the movie was put off until 2005. Apparently this story was compiled as a mixture of a lot of fiction stories that the producer cum director had seen over the years. Pretty apparent now, and clearly justifying my stand on the haphazardness in the film.
My takes on the plot? Well the first part is pretty believable, considering the greedy nature of humans, that IS what we might end up like in the future, and then of-course then look into other extra terrestrial civilizations to rip-off. But anyway that’s not the point here. What i wonder is, being such a developed nation already, with the events of this movie taking place 144 years from now, did not one smart soul there think of using the long distance warfare techniques?? Why are countries spending millions of dollars developing long distance missiles and stuff?? One more thing, fine, you've been chosen for this dangerous mission and have to control an avatar of yours, but dude, falling in love with this blue cat-like creature, who hisses more than the number of times i yawned in the entire movie (a considerable number i assure you), who's double your size and ugly as hell!!! Seriously weak!! Another serious flaw i found was that, even after leaving jakesully for dead and abandoned in the forest, and knowing him to be a traitor, taking him back into the tribe when he returned was too easy and very hard to believe!
The climax, though unexpected, was just as dull... The only adrenaline pumping scenes in the movie being the final war. Here too it was extremely bothering to see everyone else going down but the lead guy avoiding the bullets and missiles as if he was racing a snail!! But after watching "The matrix", ive stopped applying this logic to any movie at all...
All in all, why this movie grossed the highest amount ever is beyond me. Both the movie and this fact still give me the blues!!

P.S. I can understand if you "appreciate" the movie, and so di i, but how can anyone "like" a movie which has no serious plot??
