Avatar Fail

I had no intention of seeing this movie in the first place in the theatre. The special effects can't match a highly predictable storyline that was pretty much all revealed in the trailer. I mean at least '2012' wasn't taking itself seriously, while Avatar thinks its being revolutionary by exploring the 'white man's guilt'. Clearly its not.

And now I'm definitely not watching it for free online after reading this! I'm still sure it'll break some box office records by the sheer force of people who want to be in the 'loop'. I mean sure it might have ground breaking special effects, but wouldn't you rather see it play out in a movie that has a watchable story?

This Christmas, my dad kept talking about this movie (which hadn't even been on my radar) and how its very existence and popularity is proof of the abysmal standards of pop culture. He was quite worked up about it. Btw, Avatar was one of two American movies playing in the town where I was staying. The other one? New Moon. ;) H.

PS: You saw New Moon didn't you? ;)
