Avatar is a Masterpiece


Avatar had great visuals, great performances, likable characters and solid story.

I love it even after all these years.

Who else loves Avatar?

reply

I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

reply

Yes I loved it too, and still do. The next films will be worth the wait.

Not me. It was very uninspired and is the worst film James Cameron made and so is Pirahauna.

It's a good movie but I wouldn't call it a great one.

It was a masterpiece but not for the same reason that other movies are masterpieces. Avatar was a meticulously constructed product that was painstaking designed over many years to appeal to all four movie-going quadrants (ie boys, girls, men and women) in every emotional and psychological waya movie can, right down to the Na'vi having large adorable Disney-esque eyes. Before the film had a title it was called "Project 880," signifying that it was meant to appeal to everyone from age 8 to 80 years old. And it succeeded! That's the genius in it. It set a ridiculous goal and accomplished it.

Sam Worthington, “likable character”?! In what bland universe?

Bland, unremarkable Dances With Wolves story. No one watches this for the story today.

Consumer 3D TV was a massive failure. How’s ESPN3D doing today😂😂😂?

Avatar was a technological curiosity that delivered unprecedented visuals but not much of anything else. It was like Jurassic Park. The story was meh, but the dinosaurs LOOKED SO GOOD.

Neither Avatar nor Jurassic has a lot of rewatch value today. Truly great movies stand the test of time.

reply

Jurassic and Avatar are very rewatchable.

I agree with everything you said, except for the Jurassic Park comparison. Jurassic Park is a vastly underrated moral tale about the price of messing with nature.

reply

100000000% agree.

his character had nothing to him. the two things we learned about him, his dead twins nd he cant walk. immediately become insignificant. as they pose no conflict. no conflict means no growth. means I dont care about this bland ass generic character.

I couldn't tell you a single trait about him.

it was visual porn. a beautiful looking pornstar on the outside, messed up on MDMA with nothing going on in the inside.

reply

LOL, no it is not. There's nothing special about this movie outside of the look, which is very fake imo. Acting, story, etc.? Nah.

Avatar is one of those films I didnt have to watch many times just to love it and never forget it, its like 2001 Space Oddyssey, Siberiade, Tree Of Life, Seven Samurai or Pianist, I dont feel like watching such films many times, it doesnt mean they didnt leave a lasting impact on me. This is just an argument to those who say Avatar is not as much cult as Star Wars. Avatar is a different cinematic experience, its like you dont want to watch films like that many times, because youre afraid the whole sensory emotional experience of it could wear out. Id not be surprised Avatar has by far more fans than Star Wars, it just is not cult experience to talk about it, making all the noise around it, it left an indelible impact on our subconscious, thats enough. For me as a trans person who was born a woman with male sexual development it was also very relatable with regards to Jake being able to inhabit a different body, and being fully alive, grounded and vibrant in it, it made me cry just at the very end when Jake woke up and opened his eyes. Many trans ppl are not born with that privilege for we're usually totally disassociated and ungrounded in our body unable to be very intimate or social, so I believe thats one relatable aspect that Im sure most disabled people could relate to as well, another one is the environmental message, it awakened our deep past life memories of living in Lemuria, Avatar basically depicted the earth in that ancient time before it was destroyed after the fall of Atlantis.
