James Cameron's - Avatar

Avatar, it's all about the environment and nature things, which is just as well as he has rccycled a ton of ideas to make this film.

First off, he has reused a load of characters from Aliens, you will recognise Burke, Drake and Deitrich right off, Deitrich has also brought along the dropship from Aliens, only now its got real fat. You might also notice a bunch of dragon things from Panzer Dragoon, and some mechs from Matrix Revolutions, and Signory Weaver from Gorillas in the mist. It would of been funnier if he had used Signory Weaver from Ghostbusters instead, but never mind.

The plot has been recycled from Disneys Pocohantos, so in the spirit of things I recycled the synopsis of pochantos from IMDB, Ive only had to change the names in bold, it fits so well it's scary.

"Badass marine leads a rag-tag band of American sailors & soldiers to the New World to plunder its riches for Wayland Yutani (or, more precisely, for Burke from aliens, who comes along for the ride). Meanwhile, in this "New World," Chief Blue Alien has pledged his daughter, Blue girl to be married to the village's greatest warrior. Blue girl however, has other ideas. She has seen a vision of a Flower thing, a vision she believes tells her change is coming. Her life does indeed change when the American ship lands near her village. Between Burke from aliens, who believes the "savages" are hiding the unobtainable-ium he expected to be plentiful, and mean alien warrior, who believes these pale newcomers will destroy their land, Nice marine and Blue girl have a difficult time preventing all-out war, and saving their love for each other."

Well that saved me and James Cameron some writing.

Anyway, even though its all a bit familar its still good fun, if a bit long. The 3D is also supposed to be a revolution, only it isnt, Space Hunter had it first, and frankly its not that much better. 3D is supposed to stop piracy, but ironically it makes it seem like watching a 3d pirate copy. Maybe because I was wearing a pair of 3d specs over my normall specs, on account of 3d clip-ons not being invented yet, that spoils the effect somewhat.

Apparently James Cameron had 3d contact lenses to wear while making the film, perhaps that was what took him so long, because he couldnt see anything.

Overall - 4D Special agent
