We’ve published a number of articles here on Manolith about how “Avatar” just looks kinda weird. About how there’s no earthly way it’ll be able to recoup its ridiculous costs and about how James Cameron only makes new technology so nobody can say the plot and acting in his movies are kinda off. But apparently “Avatar” is, in fact, so awesome, it gave birth to the universe.
At least, that’s the initial impression from critics. They say that it’s like nothing they’ve ever seen. But, hey, if Cameron and crew have been working on the film for 13 years, well, it damn well better be like nothing I’ve ever seen. I mean, wouldn’t it just be utterly depressing if you were toiling away on a novel for 13 years and it just turned out to be something like “Twilight”?
It’s currently being tweeted about constantly, and is running a 100% on rottentomatoes. But if you look at the plot summary, it still looks ball-to-the-wall ridiculous. A bunch of marines from Earth invade a planet to get a mineral called Unobtanium, the concentration of which is located under a gigantic magic tree. I’m waiting to have my mind blown.
I’m going to see it, but then forget about it and watch “Sherlock Holmes” the week after. And if this starts smashing records left and right, I will smash my windows. I promise you, readers.
