I'm not going to bother telling you about the plot of the movie, or the characters, or the effects. Chances are you have already seen it or have had your friends tell you about it thanks to market saturation. So allow me to simply say: Avatar is a perfect example of how Hollywood can afford to spend 100+ million dollars on special effects but can't hire a screenwriter to suspend disbelief, write compelling characters, create realistic dialogue, or avoid cliches. It's popularity also demonstrates how the average person can't demand better than to have their intelligence insulted (whether they know it's being done or not), flashy images, guns, and boobs (even blue, tiger-striped boobs). It's beautiful garbage and nothing more.
