I have never seen so much money spent on something so boring and predictable. Don’t get me started on Avatar 2, that was a 3 hour water simulation that still somehow managed to be naff because of annoying cartoony characters.

My pet (very) silly theory is that both were a cover for military investment in fluid dynamics simulations and they had to hide hours of 3d renders and water simulations in plain sight.

I know a lot of people who went to see Avatar, I don’t know a soul who went to see the second one.

I was dragged along to see it at the cinema in the (then) new 3D format (versus the old red/blue glasses).

Took me 10 minutes to realise the story is Pocahontas, so I’ve always thought of it as Pocahontas Smurfs. And the 3D, while a cool novelty, gave me motion sickness something fierce.

While clearly no money was spent on the script, it did move animation technology and adoption along quite a bit.

Gobsmacked a sequel was made.

I watched it in theaters six times. I love that movie. Sure, it’s the same story as like 6 other movies, but it’s got big sexy blue aliens.

I never watched Avatar, because i know how it will be. There’s only a certain amount of special effects that can keep me focused on something that lacks in all other areas.

I watched it, but it wasn’t that great
