On one hand it is clearly a huge CGI spectacle but the story feels like one I have read and seen many times. Are you planning on seeing it? Or will you give it a pass?

I will watch the movie, when it comes on TV. LOL I hear you. My only concern is perhaps losing out on the experience of not seeing it on the big screen. I have this distinct feeling tho that this is going to get really terrible reviews...things like, "A feast for the eyes but a disaster of a story..." Blog/Forum * Podcast * SETI Team ID: 947275 ·

And here I was thinking it was an original screenplay. Two different movies. Avatar is an original movie. The Last Airbender is based on a cartoon series that aired on Nick called Avatar: The Last Airbender. The movie looks unpromising with a cast of average actors at best. Avatar on the other hand. Looks good. ID: 947701 ·
