Re: Finally saw Avatar
I would not say avatar was as epic as peopel say it was es it was pretty but i found the story lacking and was basicly pocahontas with mechs and thats what it was basicly i'm not bashing it but i do hate the huge fans of the movie who state that its not that when it really is, ya know what i mean?

Re: Finally saw Avatar
I saw the move shortly after it first hit theaters here, and I like it alot. True it's a very old story, but it was redone in a very good way. The graphics are top notch, and the perspective from which they told that story is unique.

Re: Finally saw Avatar
I felt the same way Teigan. That was the part that really grabbed me. And you know what, I don't care if that sort of message has been done before, because in my opinion it's an important message that we shouldn't forget. I grew up with movies like Fern Gully, and cartoons like Captain Planet and the Smoggies. There was such a strong environmentalist movement when I was a kid that I think stuck with a lot of people from my generation. I'm sad to see it's not around as much anymore, so that's one reason I really enjoyed this movie.Teigan wrote:And maybe I should clarify..it wasn't the love story that made me weepy. The love story was cute and provided a framework for the rest of it.
It was the human bigotry, greed and pigheadedness. It was when they killed the home tree....bulldozers and fire in the jungle make me want to cry...think of the millions of animals, the plants, the things we will never know that are gone now. Whether that's an imaginary rainforest or what's left of our own.

Also, seeing helicopters shoot giant bird-lizard-thingies doesn't hurt.

Re: Finally saw Avatar
EXACTLY how I feel. Any movie that shows humans and their destructive nature, and rubs it in our nose, is a good story to me. Especially the part where Jake tells Eywa (probably spelled that wrong) to look into Grace's memory, and see that humans destroyed their Mother a long time ago...that part really struck me. It's so true. The Earth may not be a heaping ruin yet, but it's on the road.Teigan wrote:And maybe I should clarify..it wasn't the love story that made me weepy.

So yeah, originality/etc. aren't what I always look for in a movie. As long as it tells a good story and I like the characters, it's a good movie to me; no matter how many times the story's been told. Besides, people watch re-makes of movies all the time and that's ok?
I, too, grew up with Captain Planet and Fern Gully (love that movie) and all that. So this was like a grown-up version of the things that always spoke to me as a child. <3
