The movie was shrouded in mystery and sprinkled with supreme power words, like &#8220;movie that will redefine the cinema experience&#8221;, or &#8220;this will change your life&#8221;, etc. <\/p>\n<p>As the time passed, the hype was getting enormous. Everyone went to cinemas to see &#8220;Watchmen&#8221;, and even tho &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; are really good people were saying that they expect even more from &#8220;Avatar&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And yesterday, the trailer hit the internet.<\/p>\n<p>And if you ask me, the shit hit the fan, blew up into 1000 pieces and sprinkled me all over face.<\/p>\n<p>Lets start:<br \/>\n(CLICK ON SMALL IMAGES TO GET FULL RESOLUTION HD SHOTS)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis looks really good. But let&#8217;s face it, cinema was able to produce realistic space imagery 40 years ago, so nothing impressive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOK, they got some robots. They look like bloody LEGO robots. You have to be aware that during this year Transformers 2 were in cinemas as well. They had some AWESOME display of how robots should be done. You cannot just put some mechanical mumbo-jumbo and call it job finished.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHere the shit is starting to approach the fan. It&#8217;s flying pretty fast towards the 4 rotating blades. The face looks so unrealistic that this all starts to take shape of Harry Potter in Space.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnd the shit hits the fan right about here. Titanic? Really? REALLY? Let me just quickly remind you that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000116\/\">James Cameron did some other movies.<\/a> Aliens. Abyss. Terminator. By choosing to put Titanic they clearly made a target for this movie &#8211; semi retarded men, insecure women and children who like Harry Potter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-06.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/big-07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/www.nivas.hr\/pub\/blog-images\/avatar\/small-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is nothing realistic in this shots. We have all seen fantasy graphic, and we have all seen BETTER fantasy graphic. Blizzard trailers and &#8220;World of Warcraft&#8221; cinematographic for example. Screw this, this is not even funny any more.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all this, from the trailer you can extract the following storyline. We, the Humans discover new planet. At first we are cool with the species living there. Then some stuff happens, main character gets ported into body of an indigenous humanoid being. Being stupid Humans as we are, the supreme army commanders decide to burn the whole planet or at least take all of it&#8217;s resources or something, but our main character will step in to defend the poor local people. Bam bam bam, explosions and love drama.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse my French, but &#8230; the fuck?!<\/p>\n<p>Seriously &#8230; we have seen this clich\u00e9 at least two hundred times so far, stop using it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the last year or so there was an enormous hype about Cameron&#8217;s new movie &#8220;Avatar&#8221;.
