10 years on, what did Yea Forums really think of Avatar?

It was a pretty predictable plot but the visuals and art design really pulled it all together imo

truthfully the movie is capeshit
really sickens me that the movie needed action scenes to keep an audience, and in 2009 of all years, when kino was still on the menu
if anything it was the beginning of the end

I wasn't on tv back then. The plot immediately stood out as trash to me. Interesting visuals, especially back then, but not enough to make up for it.

I've seen it only once and have had no desire to see it again. While I applaud the fact that still shots of the movie still hold up today, beyond visuals it has nothing that interests me.

Boring but visually better than the MCU though that isn't saying much. 6/10 visuals

i don't care for cgi

Glorified tech demo. Pocahontas/Fern Gully with aliens.

whoever was the cinematographer tried to do things that made sense in 3d I guess. in 2d they don't make sense and it's not suitably framed in parts so that for instance it looks like a battle between toy helicopters around a tiny tree.

IMO the action scenes shouldnt have been in the movie serve no purpose

A technical masterpiece that still hasn't been surpassed. People who bitch about 'muh plot' as though that's at all an important part of a movie need to fuck off.

This. It was a 3D tech demo and it was glorious.

I feel bad for everyone who did not experience this in cinema.

The main bad guy is pretty cool and I like the planet's ecosystem design. Predictable plot isn't necessarily a bad thing so long as it's still done well.

it was visually stunning and quite satisfying
people always want to be "surprised" and end up getting absolute garbage like GoT
characters doing realistic things, one could argue, is "predictable" while I just like to say satisfying

The plot wasn't predictable
It would have been predictable if the furries got bombed into oblivion and ended as a sort of tragedy or something, but instead it was much worse, it just needed to have a disappointing twist and ended like shit

Didn't they need something the space cats had?
why would they bomb the planet and be stranded

Am I the only one here who hasn't watched this movie and is not planning to?

They needed the magical mineral underground
Just glass the entire forest and then send people to pick it up

I remember everyone on Yea Forums back then thought it was gonna flop.
This was my first 3D screening btw, thanks Jim

i loved it and the world it created. whenever i talk to enlightened folk they agree

Serious question? How is it that successful of a movie money wise?
It wasnt that popular when it came out and most people i talk to never seen it?

Very confusing. Doesnt have hype like star wars or lord of the rings.

>It wasnt that popular when it came out
Avatar had immense hype behind it. Real hype too, not just 'I RECOGNISE THAT BRAND NAME'.

It was pretty good back then.
I don't care much for it today but if I were to rewatch it I'm sure I'd enjoy it more than 95% of the trash out today.

A solid 9/10. Brilliant film. I can't wait for the underwater environments Cameron is creating right now.

Wish i could walk again too

It came out in December. If it had come out during the summer it would have faced a lot more competition and probably wouldn't have had the legs it did. Avatar only made $70 million its first three days (and with a blizzard effecting the American northeast), which isn't that great, but then it only lost like 5% of its audience in its second weekend and made virtually the same as it's opening, it repeated that for months. 3D was a re-emerging trend at the time, the movie was marketed as a "must see" in IMAX 3D so it benefited from those inflated ticket prices. And it was a James Cameron movie, the first he had made in a decade, which made it an event in and of itself.

The Pandoran fauna beating Earth technology is pure bullshit, dont get me started on Na'vi arrows piercing the mechs made by humans as if medieval ballistas could even do such.

I was more intrigued by the hints it was dropping about their world than I was the plot of the film, and I’m pretty sure that’s by design.

This is my exact feeling too
I remember when people were getting depressed because they didn’t live on pandora and was fully confused. It was my last rental ever from blockbuster and I fell asleep each of the three times i tried to finish it. I’ve seen and will never seek it out again. The only thing I’d consider is going to the theme park once just for the novelty of it.

>3D looks neat the first 15 mintues. You stop noticing it afterwards.
>The rest of the visuals looks good,
>story is awful and plain boring.

I was entertained but I hate how it's hard to find a movie in 2D nowadays.

Do they still even do 3D I thought the dad had died again

What are you even talking about? Action scenes are the whole point of a tech demo with a basic story like this. No one wants to see this without them otherwise it’d be useless. The whole reason it even made as much as it did was seeing all that shit in 3D.
