OK, honestly, the first time I heard about an Avatar movie, I thought, "Hey, they're bringing that show back!" Sadly, no, The Last Airbender has left its prime, but would have made a better movie. I know, I know, everyone loved Avatar. I didn't. I mean, it was OK, but I wouldn't really want to watch it again.
Basically it's set in the future where we've found a new planet (where the Avatars live) and we want to sign a peace treaty with them so we can destroy their planet. Lovely, no? Well science is so advanced now that they've created an Avatar body and can put a human's mind in it, but they can't figure out how to get a guy out of a wheelchair. Just watch it to know the rest, I slept through some of it.
Three things really came out at me. First was all the other references. First it reminded me of Halo, then Star Wars, then Final Fantasy, it was just a big mash-up of pop culture. Second would be all the people with "Avatar depression," where they are so disappointed their life isn't like Avatar that they are depressed. This has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard! It's a movie! Which you go to the movies to see! If you want movies about life, watch March of the Penguins. I've never watched that movie, but I don't want a movie about life.
Lastly would be the deleted sex scene. Now it was kinda nasty when they started snogging in the middle of the movie, but a sex scene? I almost think it wasn't deleted. Just listen to what Phil has to say about it, I agree with him. Beastiality? Yes.
