why do people enjoy the movie that much?? Went to see it some days ago (yes, on a 3D Cinema. wo-hoo!! Big deal had more fun with 3D movies on Universal Studios, and it was 1995) Avatar is a mix-up between The Smurfs and Pocahontas. 40 minutes of spectaular visual effects, another 30 minutes of "just good" effects. And the rest, nothing. Just a boring, predictable plot. I give this movie 4 stars out of 10 because granted the effects are amazing, but I don't go to watch a movie just for the special effects. No matter how good they are (and they ARE), is still a bad movie if it doesn't have a good plot to back it up. Not a "terrible" movie, but highly overrated.
