Review of Avatar (2009) by Kyle G — 31 May 2017
It's a crime how overrated this movie is. I don't care about computer-generated visuals that much: I have no desire to watch trite caricatures and conveniently humanoid aliens specifically designed to render me sympathetic fight each other in big stupid battles.
I refuse to be touched or moved by the plight of the "Na'vi" because their physical appearance is a scam and their ways of life are plainly borrowed from the Native Americans. The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing for a movie to do but here it is forced and insulting.
This is contrived, cheap stuff.
