Finally saw the long hyped Avatar. I went in with low expectations, and the first half of the movie completely blew me away. The technology is amazing, Pandora is so beautiful, and although the movie is so far mainly a rip off of Dances With Wolves, it's well done.
Then the second half of the movie hits and it became every single stupid action movie I've seen in the past 15 years- like a Steven Seagal movie, except without Seagal, so it's not even funny. I should not be able to predict with 100% accuracy what is going to happen in a movie. Nor should a character be a motiveless cliche spewing cliche, as the major is (seriously... all this is for something called Unobtanium, which the movie doesn't even explain?). So, too bad, because the technology and cinematography is amazing. Maybe next time they'll make a real movie out of it, with, say, one of those good script things, and characters.
