Yes they are blue and in space. You sound like a very shallow person.
It's a story about spirituality and nature and community and family that explicitly advocates for eco-terrorism against the American government.
But none of that matters because they are blue, lol. People aren't blue. How silly.
- gattilorenz 4y ago> It's a story about spirituality and nature and community and family It’s a _clichéd_ story about all those aspects. “We are a family” or a variation thereof is the most repeated sentence in the movie. The evil guys are evil, 100%, no nuance. My humble opinion is that the movie is visually stunning but too predictable, but I’m not a fan of most movie where “things go boom” or “fighting to death” is a substantial component of the plot… so there’s that.
- cyborgx7 4y agoUnpredictability is not a universal virtue in storytelling. You pretend you are above spectacle, but your enjoyment is so dependent on the spectacle of clever twists and subversion of expectations that you can no longer appreciate the value of a masterfully told straightforward story.
- gattilorenz 4y agoI don’t see where I pretend to be above spectacle: I highlighted a correlation (most movie with those things are not of my liking), not a prerequisite. I’m actually a big fan of James Bond movies, classic ones (very “shallow” by modern standards and still good imo) and new ones too, and there’s plenty of fighting and explosions in those. I explained why to me it was a boring three hours in a very comfortable movie theatre armchair, so that you see why some people didn’t actually enjoy it as much as you did. On the masterpiece part, I’ll agree to disagree :)
- n1b0m 4y agoThe first Avatar had zero lasting cultural impact and this one will be the same. Name me one quotable line from either film. “I see you” lol You seem like a very shallow person if you think these films are any good.
- cyborgx7 4y agoImagine thinking "the movie wasn't just a collection of pre-packaged memes to share on twitter like all other major movies nowadays" is a good criticism.
- gattilorenz 4y agoS5E5 of “How To with John Wilson” (coincidentally, that I found a refreshing and even moving show that talks about human relationships - among other things - in a honest, down-to-heart way) disagrees with your assessment of cultural impact :)
- n1b0m 4y agoWell first of all there’s only been 2 seasons of How To With John Wilson. I’ve seen the episode you’re referring to and the only thing it shows is some very sad, lonely and troubled people. I’d hardly call that a lasting cultural impact for a film that made almost 3 billion dollars and was then pretty much forgotten about.
- n1b0m 4y agoAre you suffering from Post-Avatar depression syndrome? That would explain a lot!
- cyborgx7 4y agoIs the idea that someone would genuinely appreciate the artistry of an earnest movie without clever self-aware memable moments really that unthinkable to you?
- n1b0m 4y agoI presume the masterpiece Avatar triumphed at the Oscars and swept all before it.
