When I first watched James Cameron’s first Avatar movie, I thought “Wow, James Cameron totally watched Dances with Wolves and Ferngully in the early 90s and decided ‘I am going to fuse both of them together and toss in sci-fi while I’m at it!’”
While there is very little that can convince me otherwise, I actually don’t really care. Avatar, as a whole, is different enough for me to not consider it a carbon copy. I will accept the fusion/conglomeration as it is. As my friends and I wholeheartedly agree, Neytiri carries the sh*t out of the movie and it’s worth seeing just for her as a character.
That being said, I can’t freaking wait for the sequel!! I feel like a child who just found the number one thing I want to unwrap during Christmas! So, to those of you who have NOT seen the first Avatar…watch it, it’s quite entertaining and the world itself is beautiful, as is Neytiri as a whole. Enjoy! Then, come back in December after watching the sequel to watch me ramble like a fanatic maniac about it!
