Man, already a couple of Avatars.  Maybe its just me but while I enjoyed that movie a lot because of the imagery and what not, the plot was sooooooo unoriginal and acting really not that great.


I like Sleepyhollow, Apocolypse Now and Zombieland a lot too

"Avatar" will be the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" of this generation.

It's all gimmick.  Either that gimmick will take off and be the new standard (like sound in film in the late '20s), or it will fade away the way 3D did in the '50s.  Either way, "Avatar" will fade from memory.  How many people watch Jolsen's "The Jazz Singer" or "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" today and say, "Wow!  What a great film!"

If "Avatar" does have "legs" it will be with the fanboy types normally associated with Star Trek conventions and rubber pointed ears.  That is, people who really, REALLY want to live there and don't want reality to stand in the way.

The only reason I put Avatar was because of how visually amazing it was.  While I don't think the rest of it was horrible (wasn't great) I do think it was visually groundbreaking.  Takes some creativity to make that much detail.  I can still remember the first time I saw The Matrix and I think I'll remember the first time I saw Avatar for a long time.

It's neat to hear when people are particularly touched by new technology like you were. Personally I too was underwhelmed with the story/plot, but found the construction of the film to be amazing. Unfortunately though, I don't think that it lived up to the hype. The future of filming however, will owe a lot of acknowledgement to the new pioneering techniques used in Avatar.
