I saw Avatar and it was ok, it was visually amazing, but I could do endless magic eye puzzles and be visually amazed. As with everything, it was the story that let it down, it just wasn't all that interesting or new.
Example? Sure. As soon as Sully meets the chick you know he's going to bone her. You know that he's going to end up killing the bad army guy. You know he's going to ride the big angry bird thing and you know that Sigourney Weaver and every other support character will die.
Worse than the lack of story though is the technology/evolution in the movie. How does a society evolve so it can tamper with every living thing around it with its hair? The Na'vi are meant to be hard to kill but gravity and bullets seem to fuck them up just as easy as anything else and the clincher. If humans are able to "port" themselves into avatars and they have mech robots to rape the earth with, well why does Jake Sully still have a self push wheelchair? Why haven't humans got the technology to get around wheelchairs? Even if they got one of those big fuck off robots just to carry them in a massive baby sling it'd make sense. Next they'll tell us that they're using morse code to communicate between bases and they're still using twitter to socially mediate.
