We can say that about a lot of movies out there, of using old archtypes that the movie does.. This is just not a fair comparison what so ever, to me it reeks of people who don't even notice that the majority of movies out there are quite predictable with these themes.
I know that, but I was referring to avatar. And I never said it was a bad movie of that's what you're implying.
I'm sure you'd have more fun guessing how it ends.super_mario_128
[spoiler] The humans are defeated and all go home except for the protagonist who has fallen in love with the princess? [/spoiler] I've never seen this movie, but this is my guess.
I thought it sucked. Didn't care about anyone, especially the blue people. See I don't even remember what they're called, that's how much I didn't care.
To all the people who are saying don't watch it, you've all had the benefit of making up your own minds. Whether you can debate the artistic merits of Avatar or not, perhaps it would be beneficial (just a little) to check out the most successful movie ever. You know, just so when the kiddies ask you about it decades down the line, you can talk about how it came out in your time, and how you *weren't* a pretentious, haughty critic and saw despite some guys on the internet (all with excellent tastes, I might add) telling you not to.
You're not being forced to put it in your top ten movie list :P The worst that can happen is you come away a little bored, but you saw history that day.

Just saying when people make those connections, its to put down the movie.. Now I have no problem with people disliking it, it just irks me when people make this comparison specifically for this movie.. And no other..

Honestly, it never interested me. Other people's opinions did not change the fact that I did not want to see Avatar.

'Hey kids, wanna hear about the time I saw what was the highest-grossing movie in the world at one point'? Saying YOU SAW HISTORY is a pretty bombastic way of disguising a mundane event.

We all do, but there are lots of movies that copy archetypes.
Everyone only ever talks about it when referring to Avatar, though.
If it isn't in IMAX 3D its not worth seeing.wstfld
Yea, it won't be as good on Bluray as the IMAX 3D showing. I saw it last year there and it was an absolute marvel to watch, nuff said'. I bet some IMAX theaters still show it occasionally. Also, Tron at IMAX 3D was just as good, if not better, than Avatar was there.
