We went to see Avatar yesterday. The subtitles came on, I shot a knowning smirk to Matt, and in an instant, a blockbuster action/scifi turns into a high comedy.
I’m no film buff or critic. But frankly, I’m not all that impressed with the idea that James Cameron was able to use a bottomless pit of money to create a movie with slight aesthetic advantages over its predecessors (in contrast, look what we’ve been able to create with pocket change), especially when it’s attached to such a wishy-washy script.
What a waste. How unfortunate to see what could have been a landmark film mired and lost due to poor attention to detail.
