After watching Avatar, only one question popped into my head: “WTF??????????????????????????????????”

Okay, I don’t really care if the story is “exactly identical” to Pocahontas or whatever, since I don’t even remember the story of Pocahontas that well. First off — the Na’vi people…James Cameron and the crew had an ENTIRE alien race to work with. A completely foreign culture. And instead of doing something new, they make them BASICALLY Native American people. Bow and arrows…feathers…hair braids…the heavy emphasis on oneness with the earth…

Then, the story line. Oh my god…I felt like I was watching the “Earth Song” from This Is It…cept with blue people! “The sky people…come from a place where there is no green.” Maybe it’s just because I’m not much of an environmentalist? Throughout the movie I felt no connection or sympathy towards the Na’vi. Or towards the humans, either. I mean, sure, I felt kinda bad that the Na’vi were having their land destroyed, but really…so what? Maybe I’m just a heartless a-hole. Oh yeah, and the alien sex? Was that even necessary?! “I can..see through you.” Maybe if they made the blue people a bit hotter it’d be more believable. What type of normal hot-blooded male would find those blue aliens hot, or even attractive? I hear James Cameron wanted to make it more graphic, but hey: woulda, coulda, shoulda.

The only redeeming quality of Avatar was the multitude of explosions. And they were big. Especially on IMAX 3D. That was amazing. The scene where they cut down the tree? Genius. The millions of dollars were clearly well spent. Should’ve spent some more on that script, on the other hand…

Do I recommend Avatar? Not really, but if you don’t care about the storyline or the dialogue and only want to see it for the explosions, sure. Actually, I take that back. Don’t widen the gap in box office success between Star Wars and Avatar. Don’t continue the atrocity. Star Wars was a FREAKING classic!!!! Avatar on the other hand? Are the American people retarded? STOP WATCHING AVATAR!!!
