I saw a film that will very likely bomb, but in years time will become either a cult classic or a true classic.
The movie's a work of art, and that's its main flaw it demands you use your imagination, think abstractly, interpret its true meaning. Cameron and I come from the same thought process so I know exactly what he's saying with his story but a lot of critics don't or they're too embarrassed to admit they dug the movie, it happens sometimes online...
I hope Harry on aicn loves it. I love it, and not in the immature, jizz my pants at all the hot blue girl ass that a lot of dumbass kids will likely think, but the artistic merits of the movie are REAL and maybe you have to be smart to catch them.
So what makes the movie great? For one thing it's cool to watch. It's artistic porn, and literal porn at points. But the true heart of it is the story. I was sitting there and honestly I hated Jake, just another grunt like the scientist woman said he was. Nothing about him was special. His brother was the special one. But you have to look beyond that...
Spoiler:
Jake IS the Avatar
i was on the bus home and I just got a holy shit moment... This movie's going to fly over everyone's heads I think... because it demands thought, complex analysis of its story, and all that shit. People will bemoan its religious aspects, but there's no damn point to the movie without it. Ask yourself this, who was the alien and who was the native? Flip every line spoken by the humans and apply them to the na vi and you get the truth. I mean it's more complicated than that, but I love how the ending shows exactly what was intended to take place by the avatar program, getting rid of the aliens.
Fucking 10 out of 10.
I wish I had a job so I could keep seeing it again and again.
