I thought this was about the third movie and I got really bummed.

I got really indifferented, because I don't even remember the plot of the first film anymore. Also because it's the triple-whammy of awfulness, a mobile MMO by Tencent.

spoiler for the first Avatar movieIt's just Fern Gully

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I thought it was just Pocahontas with robots, but I had just watched the animated version around a week before I saw the first blue Avatar.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Don't forget Dances With Wolves! That's another one it's similar to.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Your description is also correct, according to the transitive property of Fern Gully/Pocahontas films.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But objectively worse because Avatar doesn't feature Tim Curry

True.

It was basically Fern Gully

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Don't slander Fern Gully like that

The plot was alien sex

I never liked the first movie. The second one was pretty good imo.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The first movie was James Cameron’s anti-capitalist masterpiece! They have the technology and medicine to heal the parapalegic protagonist but don’t want to spend the money on him. They can sucker him into military service for their interests however.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

An anti-capitalist masterpiece that earned its creator billions. Someone's playing both teams.

I got bummed it wasn't about the damned third movie

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Oh no whatever will we do if we don’t get another 3hour snooze fest?!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Taste is subjective. If you don't like it, that's fine. I thought the first two were enjoyable, even though predictable.

There are other movies out there I'm sure you enjoy that I would find incredibly boring.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

First one was an okay movie, second one was basically a screensaver that was sometimes annoyingly interrupted by explosions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Haven't watched the second one (not sure if I ever will), but I'm definitely stealing that.
