When one rates high and the other rates low, it averages out. I'm not expecting a ton plot-wise from Cameron so I'm not that disappointed when I don't get it.

WOW. i went in w/ low expectations and came out astounded that it was even worse than i had anticipated. omg, the acting is so bad. so so so SO bad. the writing is inexcusably poor, the dialogue trite, the character development severely underwhelming, etc., etc. and, sure, pandora looks great (especially at night) but the na'vi looked 100% CG to me. never for a moment were my eyes tricked into thinking they were anything but CG creations. 20+ years later and the alien queen in aliens is a superior-looking effect than the na'vi. i'm honestly kind of surprised you liked it. i definitely do not think all movies need a narrative (koyaanisqatsi and the holy mountain are two of my favorite films), but if you're going to have a story, it at *least* needs to be decent. the story in avatar is just poorly written and badly paced. i really didn't care about any of the characters in it in any way. you bring up good points about the wheelchair and the braids. like, really, wtf? also, did i miss something, or was michelle rodriguez NOT wearing a mask throughout the entire movie when she was flying the choppa? then in the last battle sequence, suddenly she needs to wear one? wha? and i can't help myself: sam worthington? really? what is it that you like about him? his corpse-like charisma or his inability to maintain an accent? heath ledger this guy sure as fuck aint! ;) i saw it in 3D IMAX (and my IMAX theater is “true” IMAX) and wow.
