Just saying.

Yes but the Pocahontas story left out the cool Avatar part so it needed to be re-done anyway.

Flying on dragons.. EPIC

The biggest fail was those ships not having bullet proof glass.

I mean FFS how can a battleship not have thick strong glass.

goes to show that eyecandy will coat many plot holes

Yeah the plot is the usual rehashed Hollywood drivel

[barfly777]

from the comments on the blog Avatar = "Dances with Smurfs"

ROFL

We have so many remakes : Pink Panther , Robin Hood, Peter Pan , Oceans 11 etc whats the problem with a good movie? So the story line is old/similar/same, who cares? Did YOU enjoy it? Thats the most important thing.

Want origional, go watch 9.

Ja, the similarities with Pocahontas and a hundred other movies were already being posted on IMDB from day one. Not really a very original story... but these are my questions:

1) Out of the entire planet, they find that the biggest deposit of unobtanium is right under the main tree? Seriously? You couldn't finish mining the rest of the planet first? Or find another huge deposit?

2) Out of all the humans on Pandora only 5 have a problem with the planned genocide? Really? Is that how far the human race has gotten in the year 2154 or whatever? Well, jeez what is the point of even trying now?

3) So Jake Sully falls in love with the Na'vi culture which the other doc already loves. But they only decide to tell them that they are gonna get planet raped 5 minutes before the bad guys arrive? Seriously?

4) In the entire history of the Navi people only 5 have ever ridden one of the giant dragon thingies. and even then it was cos the dragon thingies chose them. But Jake is able to fly above one and hijack within the space of 5 mins. And the tribe then goes from intense hatred to batty-eyed endearment in 5 seconds flat?

There was a bunch of other stuff... maybe I will post later.

unobtanium - unobtainable uranium?

[APoc184]

I've never seen Pocahontas so I didn't know about its plot.

Will watch 9 over the weekend.

And YES. I did enjoy Avatar.

The storyline was lame at times. It just seemed like they didn't know what they wanted to do with the animation. Perfect example is where they're playing around on the record player just being random...that whole scene was just "wtf".

And why did Oakley not sue? Unobtainium is a material they developed for motorcycle handgrips. Surely they could have come up with an original name?

Surely they could have come up with an original name?

Yes, after an original plot maybe.
