Avatar isn't exactly an obscure movie.

I'd give it about a 6/7. The effects were amazing but I found the storyline very predictable. I did enjoy it overall though.

Avatar isn't exactly an obscure movie.

very true, theres the possibility of it being indie but at the moment maybe it should be restricted from this subforum

Pocahontas...redone. But I still enjoyed it...especially the 3-D flying scenes.
4/10.
The effects were really amazing, but the plot was so predictable and to tell you the truth, it was pretty boring. talk2hand
the effects were good and the story adequate, not a masterpiece, but still, a classic

Yeah, it had pretty damn good visuals, but ... it wasn't as innovative as people make it out to be. I don't think it was worth the hype, personally. The plot has, essentially been done before, albeit not with 12 foot tall blue humanoids on another planet, but it's been done. I can't remember the exact name of the film my dad cited as being identical in terms of the narrative, but I don't feel I need to.

Essentially, it's: 'up-and-comer (probably cattle man or cowboy of some kind) serves his superiors in order to get ahead, goes out into the world, attempts to ravage an Indian camp, gets captured, learns the ways of their tribe, falls in love with Chief's daughter, warms to tribe, feels bad about betraying tribe for his superiors, superiors attack tribe, protagonist sides with tribe but confesses he betrayed them, protagonist is exiled, protagonist still turns on his superiors in order to protect tribe, saves tribe, tribe loves him again, happy ending.' ... see where I'm going with this?

Without bringing CGI into things, I don't think it was worthy of the praise it received. And I'm sorry, but I just don't like Sam Worthington anymore. I didn't mind him when I watched it, but then ... no. Sorry. As CGI goes, however, I think that's the only reason it's received such accolades.

The effects were good . But it was boring there was so much hype about the film yet the story was pretty boring
Oh yes, because that was totally obscure and independant.

Unoriginal, extremely predictable plot covered up with pretty CGI. Overall, mediocre in my opinion.
1. The highest grossing film of all time is not what I'd call obscure.

2. Just to get it out of the way, the effects were incredible.

3. However the actual film was lacking in many areas. The plot brought absolutely nothing new to the table, and while I get the feeling James Cameron just wanted to do a basic love story, it was still disapointing. Also, seeing this film at home versus in the theater in 3D is just a typical film versus an experience. Overall, the film wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I'd give it a solid 7.

Not really an independent or obscure movie, but it's good smile
I am an incredibly douchey elitist and I fackwacking HATE Avatar.
It was a sham, an utter sham. I give it negative -15 angry, taco-wielding Mexicans in latex unitards.
I also hate the whole 3-D thing.
What ever happened to puppets and prosthetics? REAL special effects?
The CG I see in films being made today is on par with the liquid shart I was molding in 3-D modelling programs back in Junior High.
But that's just my opinion.

Liquid shart sells like crazy!
So, I don't have a problem with folks liking Avatar and I am not raining on your parade.
I just hope that in the future more moviemakers begin producing REAL art again.
