I’ll admit that I really had no idea what James Cameron’s Avatar was about until I watched this, and now I can firmly say that I’ve gone from really excited to not so excited to not excited for this picture since the teaser trailer dropped on us like a month or so ago.
All I knew was that it had to do with Sam Worthington getting some Lieutenant Dan space shuttle legs and killing some blue alien motherfuckers, and now I find out that he’s helping them? With Michelle Rodriguez and J.P. from Grandma’s Boy in tow no less? Fuck that. Here I was, thinking we’re going to see some Marines cutting down aliens in dominating fashion while representing the good ol’ US of A, and now it looks like Sam’s obviously going to win in the end using bow and arrows and sticks and shit. I can already see the final pan shot of him in his avatar and the blue alien lady looking off into the sunset of a new dawn after the war, probably holding their half alien/ half human baby up in the air on Pride Rock or some shit.
Damn. I’ll still see it to see if Cameron can back up all his shit-talking about the special effects, but plot-wise this looks like puke.
Oh by the way, did you know this was directed by James Cameron? Yeah, The Terminator guy. If you couldn’t tell just watch the trailer because half of the running time is dedicated to his credentials/name…
From James Cameron. A James Cameron film, written and directed by James Cameron. James Cameron wants you to see James Cameron’s new film from the visionary mind of James Cameron. Have sex with James Cameron. James Cameron.
