Moving on: The problem with this film is that despite all the “wow” effects, the dialog is really bad and the acting is worse. The two love bird’s “You Had Me At Hello” line is “I see you.” Okay, sure, whatever. Eye roll.
Weaver looks fabulous at sixty-something, and it’s great to see her back in her “Alien” – ish skin but she cant act either. That said, you gotta love Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) this Angelina Jolie/blue cat woman with hour glass torso who hisses at her love interest and eventual soulmate, Sam Worthington.
Cameron has a theme in all his movies….women who are always smarter, cooler or upper class, unlike their men who follow them around like drooling fools at their ankles…until a power shift occurs, the women cry and get all frightened, and the (beneath her) man has to step up to the plate. They all have men with one syllable names like Come back! “Jack” or Come back! “Jake.” And all Cameron’s movies are human vs. machine in some way, even if the machine is a cruise-line ship. This is no “Titanic” destiny/damsel flick. This is a man’s movie. So girlfriends, be prepared to watch-glance at about the forty-five minute mark of “Avatar” after the 3D butterflies have worn off. It’s two hours forty minutes running time. And there comes a point in the movie where you question: Well, if these DNA human/blue people aren’t real anyway, then what are we rooting for and why do we even care? Two tiaras
