Just wondering what you're talking about? I don't want to argue because I don't think Avatar was the best movie ever but I do like the movie. Is it 3D that you are talking about? If so I don't agree with your statement because the movie is good without it, but it is better (IMO) with it. After owning a 3D TV for over a month now, I don't think it is a gimmick. It is nice to have the option to watch some things in 3D. It doesn't mean you have to watch everything in 3D, but to have that option is a very fun thing.
If 3D was a gimmick, wouldn't Disney have stopped putting out 3D attractions? Remember Magic Journeys? How many 3D attractions have been out and stayed out since then? Sure many people may not be thrilled with 3D or even watch 3D (blind in 1 eye) but those that do enjoy it would enjoy the option of seeing a film in 3D over 2D.
What gives? I think there is too much Avatar hate on this thread. The movie is fine. Is it Harry Potter? No. However, there could be an amazing looking themed world made from the movie... as well as some amazing attractions. Give it a chance.
If the hate comes from FotLK being taken down, then you have the wrong reason to hate it in the first place.
