Dyonus's review on Avatar

Let me get one of my misunderstandings out of the way here for a sec...I live with this girl named Lauren who currently has cable TV. Since I don't have anything to do between random ass villains trying to kill Remula (the Ambis I serve), I became a couch potato (it's a human term for a lazy ass). Whilst watching said cable TV, I came across a cartoon called "Avatar: The Last Airbender." That's what I thought this was going into the theater. They should have called this movie "Avatar: It's not about the kid with the arrow on his head."

I wish it HAD been a movie on that, that would've been enjoyable. Instead, they have a bunch of blue cat people...who aren't Ambis (weird, I know) who are selfish by not moving off their land so the humans can drill. One of the humans takes control of a human made Arga--er--Navi and joins up with them. Instead of asking them to move like he should have, he sides with them and decides to keep them exactly where they are, helping them be selfish.

I mean...they're not even USING the material they're on.

Special effects? I don't know. I went to see it in 3D and it didn't look 3D to me. Maybe the glasses don't work on my electronic eyes, but it didn't do anything for me. And the Arga--er--Navi looked fake. First off...they're not blue, they're kind of an ugly brownish color.

Eh...Lauren is telling me that Cameron made up the Navi. Alright...I guess it is a weird coincidence that they look exactly like a real race of aliens, so I won't talk about how bad they look.

The CGI was pretty good, I guess, but the story was too simplistic. I got bored an hour into the movie, though.

I give it a C-. If I was allowed to talk about the aliens being fake, I'd say an F, but as they are made up...I guess it wasn't too bad.

If this were the Ambis instead of the humans, the Navi would've been killed the very first day they decided they were going to ignore the Ambis. The Ambis would've been nice about asking them to move, but not about them defying us. And trust me when I say...the humans went down way too easily in this movie. When the human airships got taken down, I was laughing really hard and got a lot of dirty looks for the humans in the audience. Really powerful technology getting taken out by a bunch of malnourished cat people? COME ON! That's illogical, even by my standards. And then when they brought in the robots, those got taken down, too.

Speaking of Avatar...did you know there are a group of humans out there trying to get this movie boycotted because they don't show gay people in it. That is stupid. The Ambis, a more powerful race than the humans, were not shown in the movie and you don't hear US complaining about it. And as far as humans are concerned...they didn't show a LOT of minorities in there, what makes your group so special? Lauren is poly--poly--um--Polynesian and she said it was a good movie. She wasn't upset because there were no Polynesian people in the movie. There was a brown person in the movie, but she assured me she was Hispanic and not Polynesian and told me not to assume every brown person was Polynesian. (I still don't know the color difference between the humans.) Anyway...my point is...why are they so upset because there are no people who mate with their own gender in the movie?

Boy are they going to be pissed with the Ambis take over Earth...
