Legacy Of The Night wroteIt takes a lot more than pretty special effects to impress me, and Avatar was totally devoid of anything that makes a good film in my eyes. It's just a really poor movie.
That's a bit harsh isn't it? Actually, there's quite a lot in there besides special effects. But it can sometimes backfire and act as an argument against the film when the effects are that dominant (take Transformers for example) but I found them to help the film and move the story forward rather than exist just for the sake of being there. It is supposed to look like another world.
Sure if you start to get bothered with special effects early on in the movie it will be in the way of your enjoyment and perception rather than helping it.
Oh well, it's perfectly fine not to like it at all of course, I'm just glad it blew my expectations out of the water.
