What i find funny is that people say they crave for originality, so they tear a new ass to AVATAR by calling it Dance with wolves in space (as if it was the worst thing ever) every time they can but yet praise TFA, wich is completely unoriginal (yet very entertaining) or make huge success of Transformers and other ****** blockbusters.
I could easely destroy AVATAR, the story yes has been told a gazilion times, the visuals dragons, six legged monkeys, horses, rhinos and so on.
But there are things that still make it a worthy film in my opinion among all the crass blockbusters horizon.
First there is absolutely no cynicism from Cameron, he really love this project and its not a cash grab project but a labor of love.
Its also just freaking impressive to look out, i mean seriously this is not just eye candy for me, but my brain was like wtf those characters are real, not every scenes mind you, but the first avatar connexion or the dragon taming are magicien on screen for me.
They feel absolutely real to my eyes and im baffled because its not just technology, just fx, its a above that.
Im mean no other movie made me believe that well for something so alien to exists, not even some of the most beautiful pratical effects.
The story is not original yeah but i took it as a set up, world building, and yet give the same story to any other pseudo filmmaker and yu would have a ******, badly told and paced flick.
Cameron is a master as its craft even his worst is millions miles above the rest.
Its kinda baffles me that people who dislike the movie treat it as bad as a Bay, Anderson, wiseman or Rattner flick.
Im definitly sure that Cameron Will deliver visually wise, its on the story that people are waiting for him knives all sharpened.
Cameron scripts have always been pretty straigtforward, hes not Nolan, hes not trying to out smart his audience.
He ´s just giving good Old school solid entertainment most of the time with archetypal characters in archetypal stories.
At least hes doing it right.
