Avatar

ok i went to see avatar a few days ago and i waited a few days so i could let the movie 'sink in' before reveiwing it so... here we go!


So the film opens with some guy talking and a scene that would have looked awsome in Imax with us flying over some trees, then we cut to some guy talking about how his bother died and how hes crippled and stuff... i dunno i wasnt really listening at the time, anyways!
We find out that he was ex military and his brother was supposed to be this guy who controlled a giant blue cat thingy called, heres a shock, an Avatar! and since hes a twin he can do it now! anyways this other angry military guy wants him to use the avatar to get intel on the blue cat people, called nav'vi, so he can blast them to bits. then we sorta get a time passing thing where hes exploreing the planet, getting to know the Nav'vi, RIDING DRAGONS? (no seriously he RIDES a dragon thingy!) and they accept him into their tribe... do i even have to tell you what happens next? no? ill tell you anyways:

he has a change of heart and tell them that the military, known as 'sky people' because of their ships, are coming and guess what? they kick his ass out of the tribe. then the military shows up and starts doing what military does best, BLOW SHIT UP! so after the military blows up this big ass tree they go home and the cripple guy and a small team take a research station and moves it and then using it, takes control of the avatar bodies and goes back to the nav'vi to warn them that the military isnt done yet, and because he has a giant dragon thingy they all listen to him instead of killing him for betraying them! kool huh? so all the tribes of the planet get together and start an attack on them using the draagon things to kill the ships, horse things to kill the people on the ground etc. but when all hope is lost, and im not kidding here, a tree tells all the animals on the planet to help thus killing all the remaining military EXECPT the angry guy... ok... im game for this... so then the angry guy and the cripple guy have a fight with the angry guy in a transformers outfit and the cripple as an avatar after a short and rather unentertaining fight the angry guy FINALLY dies and, swear im not kidding, they take the cripple guy to the tree and the avatar body to the tree and the tree permently puts him in the avatar body... WooooooooooW... i mean... woooooooooooooooooow... ive seen stargate episodes that dont have THAT much insanity to them i mean a tree? really? x.x'

ok so overall it wasnt a bad movie, the story was kinda basic considering it followed THE EXACT SAME STORYLINE AS POCAHONTAS!!! what do i mean by that? simple, in pocahontas the story was the spanish came to wherever it took place to mine for gold, in avatar a coporation came to this planet to find some valuable rock they wanted to mine, in both the natives were considered savages and in both there was a talking tree... so... avatar=pocahontas with blue cats and pretty images, but like i said it wasnt overall bad it was ok for a one time watch in my opinion... now i have to do 2 things: 1. point out major plot holes, and 2. put on my body armour because your all going to kill me!


PLOT HOLES:
1. in the begining we are told that the atmosphere is unbreathable by humans and after 20 second you will fall unconsious, 4 minutes you will die yet we CLEARLY see the military leader OUTSIDE WITHOUT A MASK for more then 20 seconds, but he can still stand and shoot without any problem

2. the guy who runs the avatar learns that the tree can put his mind into the avatar body permentently, and he waits till AFTER the battle to have it done.. why? that means you can die in 2 places once in the body and once in your own body, and in the movie HE ALMOST DIES AS A HUMAN!!!

3. during the battle the girl who was flying the airship opens fire with a machine gun hopeing to get lucky and take down the cruiser, yet in the scene when they are blowing up the tree we CLEARLY see the ship has missles that she never used, WHY DOESNT SHE USE THEM???





now im going to hide because a billion angry furries will try to ill me! *hides under my bed with a plush whimpering*
