The reaction to this movie is like the exact opposite of the reaction to Snakes on a Plane.
It is almost like it has become "cool" on CP to hate Avatar just because it might be an amazing movie. Personally I think it is a good thing. Less people in line for when I see it at midnight on opening day.

My reply to this post is simple. 3D, special effects, computer graphics do not make a movie good. The core components that decide if a movie is good or not have not changed and will not change. Those are story, timing, acting, editing and cinematography. You can't excel at just one of those components and have a good movie. Special effects can enhance those core components but they cannot replace them.
My adverse reaction to the movie is an adverse reaction to the sentiment that technology, computer graphics and camera gimmicks are now reasons to believe that a movie will be good.
