If you don't understand what I mean then quickly read over this:

Yes. It is the same fucking film. James Cameron started writing it in 1994 and even when he saw this he thought he'd just re-release it with over the top visual effects (I assume he saw it because everyone has seen it. No exceptions).
I want to say that I did like the visual effects of 'Avatar' seeing as they were such a breakthrough and Cameron had
What annoys me about 'Avatar' is how much money it made. I know that sounds like jealousy, but it's mainly because WTF? I don't know how Cameron churns out such bullshit, needlessly long films like his fairly two-dimensional 'Titanic' which made money off of menstrual teenage girls and their need for a love story (see also; Twilight) with stories that everyone knows the beginning, middle and end of *SPOILER* The fucking boat sinks.
Cameron might as well have just named it after its USP 'Cats on Acid' because that's what people were paying for. Anyone you saw queuing for that film had no idea what the story of that shit was, they just wanted to have their eyes melted with neon trees.
(If you want to watch Cats on Acid then here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJEw3A_QO9o Now give me all of your money for my stolen film)
What actually annoys me most is that with this opinion I'm in the minority. The highest grossing film of all time has got to be pretty popular and I wonder if there's something I was missing. If I was watching it wrong. I can't help but get that thought out of my head. The only part of the film I enjoyed was when the Army guy with scars on his face (I don't care about his name) is in that Mecha-Robo suit and shivs the alien tiger thing in the stomach with a huge knife. That was a good shivving, but that's about 2 seconds of 162 minutes.
That's another thing, the only difference between the alien animals and animals on earth was they had an extra set of legs, which is pretty pointless because our animals seem to work fine.
That Jake Sully guy's a dick too, he does that tail connection thing with a pterodactyl and then the woman's like "Now you're connected for life" or some bullshit, then when that super pterodactyl comes along he's all over that, now his birds left to go and die in a ditch alone somewhere.
James Cameron must be doing something right. He directed the two highest grossing films of all time, I'll admit he's a good businessman. But a good director? No.
I'm not going to give this a score because if you haven't grasped my opinion of this film with what I just wrote then congratulations, you just wasted your time.
