Avatar

I enjoyed it. I actually did, even though I saw it in 3D and it was blurry and for 2 hours I felt like throwing up. Motion sickness. Never again 3D movies, thanks.

The plot was reused and even though most of the time I could tell with almost pinpoint accuracy what would happen, I didn't care, because I enjoyed the movie. The visuals were top notch and simply awesome.

And here there be spoilers.

Because I had some issues with Avatar. Observations, mostly. Here is the list of plot holes, minor annoyances, wtfs.

• The avatars are grown as a whole errr... person. How come they are full navii/human hybrids and vegetables from the beginning?
  
  
• No press. I would expect tons of reporters and whatnot to camp out next to the base to document what is going on. I mean if that mineral is so important, how come nobody is writing about it? I mean the boss is deadly afraid of the press but there is no press. At all.
  
  
• The Na'vii accept err... Jake. Sure, there are these "signs", but surely nobody ever would embrace an enemy like that. Oh well. Had to be done for the good of the movie.
  
  
• Alien sex. Apparently they do it the same old way we do. What a killjoy.
  
  
• Those connector thingies that come out of the tip of their braids. What the hell are those and how come they are universal and fit everything? It's kinda disconcerting, not to mention how come they are in their braids. Or are they braids at all? Anyway, it'd be more believable that they have sex with the help of those thingies than the usual way. Oh well.
  
  
• It's rather convenient that the Na'vii can transport the consciousness of Jake, our hero,into his avatar. Oh well. The hero gets his happy end... and the girl.
  
  
• I had a vague Pocahontas (Disney) feeling throughout the movie. Well... not that vague.
  
  
• LoOk aT aLl ThOsE pRetTy CoLoUrS! Shiny. Very shiny. Everything was fluorescent and shiny and fluorescent and shiny and oh gods, so shiny.
  
  
• The bad guy is apparent from the first moment we meet him. Scary scar depicting him as faulty and horrid, check. Testosterone-full, check. Macho, badass monologue, check. Bottle covey look, check. As promised, he fights until he is shot down. Multiple times. With rockets and poisonous arrows. And a kitty.
  
  
• When the girl... imdb says Neytiri, cradled the fallen body of uh... Jake, Snow White and the 7 little dwarfs flashed before my eyes. I just found it hilarious. But that might just be the lack of sleep, I guess.
  

But yeah, the graphics are breathtaking, even though I twitched like mad, trying to check if I was about to aggro a group of raptors or quetzal or skelk. It felt like I was wandering in Asuran territory in first person with the floating islands overhead. (Guild Wars MMO in case someone had doubts.)

But even though the plot was reused and full of clichés, I liked it. Just like I liked Fifth Element. So... yeah, it's good. Just... make sure you have no motion sickness issues before you watch it in 3D.
