I'm sure there are going to be people who disagree with me, but I have to say it's true.
Avatar was a movie I was hugely looking forward to seeing. With all the buzz beforehand, the newest 3D technology, integrating animation and live action in a totally new way. And on all of those things, I think they totally succeeded. However, the process took so long, I think the story they were telling became unoriginal during the process. They combined a bit of
Dances with Wolves with
Ferngully:
The Last Rainforest and the story lost a lot of credibility and originality. Considering the story takes place on another planet, with large blue people who can only interact with the avatar of people, who speak another language, have tails, and connect with the environment directly. Somehow, the story still felt derivative. I left feeling a bit disappointed.

I don't get you people! I thought the story was cliched, sure, but it was a really well told version of the cliche! But, I seem to be in the minority, so, I could just be stupid!
Also, I tagged you for The Happy 101 Award, if you want another meme to occupy your time. Just letting you know...

Sebastian - I did explain that with a lot of what they put together it was amazing, but if they'd been able to do it without all the cliches it would have been frickin' amazing.
