Review on AVATAR LARP
Personal Thoughts.
LARP: Live Action Role Play
There is a video on Youtube that (and I won’t post it up here to protect them) portrays people actually dressing up as Na’vi and Role Playing as them.
They toilet papered a large tree to mimic (The Tree of Life), and instead of given themselves Na’vi like names (because lets face it there is no Na’vi speaking dictionary to help these nerds out). Gave each other Tolken (Writer of Lord of the Rings) names (because there is a dictionary to help those nerds out in speaking the Elf’ language). Does anyone find this as ridiculous as I do?
I wasn’t a giant fan of AVATAR (That was obvious by my review) but these people have no concept of what the movie was trying to portray in the first place. Littering to the Na’vi is a crime so why TP the tree? I understand the need to express oneself but …come on…Legolas as a Na’vi name?
They tried to sell you what they were doing on Youtube as a positive thing but they need to get there information straight in order to function as a credible LARP group.
The Fortune Cookie for these people says: You stupid. Like a Baby. Always making noise.

Review of AVATAR
AVATAR (Spoilers)
James Cameron
Review and Personal Thoughts by: Cande
Plot Holes.
1. Looking into the complicated of the statement “All the green is dead.”
The statement Jake makes while talking to the (Tree of Life. Near the end of the movie might I add) is that “All the green is dead.” This statement clearly sabotages the credibility of the script as well as the movie all together.
The only conclusions we can come to about Earth from Jakes statement is that either:
A. Humans could be wasting resources from some really dumb nonsensical and nonproductive reason.
B. Survival of the fittest method. Humans are looking for a new planet to settle down upon permanently (and since they don’t know the natives (even though they’ve some how gained the technology to clone them let alone communicate with them) like all human tragedies they try to take out what they don’t understand.
Something tells me Cameron with option A.
The problem with “All the green is dead.” isn’t solved with the lingering questions.
“What is wrong with Earth?”
“How did we gain the technology to travel to Pandora?”
“Is the reason why all the plant life on Earth is dead?”
“Did we utilize everything we had into the military; just to make this venture?”
“How can humans survive on Earth without Oxygen?”
Unfortunately this line is said so late in the movie that the public is so drawn into it at this point. They don’t CARE what happened to Earth, or what evolved, or what for a better term devolved. I’m sure James Cameron was hoping that nobody would ask these questions distracting you the public with pretty colors, which is exactly what, happened.
(Personal Thoughts)
For those of you who thought there was absolutely without a doubt nothing wrong with this story, and to those of you who thought the movie was so amazingly fantastic; that when it was over you had to return to your anti-depressants. Put on your stupid 3-D glasses and get ready for this adventure back into the reality of (Lazy Writers) and (Poor Editors).
We’ve seen this story done a million times. Nothing comes as close to this movie as either (Disney’s Pocahontas) or (Ferngully). Some people actually compared this movie to (Dances with Wolves). Well I’m sorry the only comparison I see between AVATAR and Dances with Wolves is about how BORINGLY LONG it was. At least Dances with Wolves actually connected the dots in its plot line. AVATAR starburst’s all over the damn place.
(While all the planet life on Earth is “dead” the military chooses to pursue an AMAZING mineral (With a not so amazing name) Unobtainium. Instead of figuring out a productive way to solve Earth’s dying problem (surprise, surprise!) we find a DESTRUCTIVE way to (by the end of the movie) NOT solve any of Earth’s problems!)
1. They never tell you why the Unobtainium is so important. Or what the hell it even did that was SO productive enough for the humans to (DESTROY yet another planet and even its inhabitants) export it (5 years back by the way) back to Earth.
2. In the beginning of the film Jake says the economy is basically shit. (GEE WIZ now we don’t know why that could be do we?)
3. About two hours into the movie the mineral is completely forgotten about and the story just turns into a full blown out (Submit. Pick a side, or Die) scenario.
(The Military)
“We’re going to fight terrorism, with terrorism.”
In my opinion this was the worst line of the entire movie.
The humans ARE the terrorist. We are the ALEINS. Diplomatic solutions didn’t apply to the USA when they landed on Pandora.
The Military in this movie was an utter joke. From what you can speculate when dealing with the Military in AVATAR the Government which includes the Military is more than half the reason why Earth is going through the economic strife to begin with.
Without a doubt we have to assume that because the Military in AVATAR was SO damn childish; we have to assume the brash and unreasonable decisions the military made are the reason we are dying in the first place. Why has our Military’s intelligence dropped so low in AVATAR?
(More questions)
“Did economy compromise currency?”
“What the hell do they even pay with?”
“Is the reason for planet Earth being practically useless because we went to nuclear war with every other country, and stopped before destroying ourselves completely?”
“Why the hell would a General be talking like a prepubescent child?”
“Why the hell did the Cadets just sit there like mindless zombies?”
Are you telling me in three hours of a film; only a handful of humans rioted against the retarded ramblings of a gun happy moron? Give me a break! If I had heard that man say “We’re going to fight terrorism, with terrorism.” I would have reminded him that the humans were the terrorists on Pandora.
This Script: F
The Graphics: C
The Character Development: D
Now it might seem that to the public that I just can’t stand this movie, which is why I am beating it up so hard. No that isn’t true at all. I’m beating the movie up this badly because it sucked, and all these “It was so AMAZING.” or “It was the best story ever!” Reviews really torque me.
Three long hours with hardly enough of a reasonable plot to sustain its existence as a reasonable film. What the hell was Cameron thinking? The original SCRIPT has what the Unobtainium is actually used for!
This looks like a case where Cameron needs to fire the person who dummied down his script.
Final: Anyone calling this movie a masterpiece of epically fantastic? Obviously has no concept for a story.
The fortune cookie of this film says: James Cameron knows useless nothing's, and plagiarism's are the right path!

Introduction
I'm the type of girl who watches pretty much every single movie there is! ( I buy the best; and scrap the rest. ) Looking for plot holes is my specialty; grammar obviously is not. I tend to rip on movies harder than anyone else out there. Why? Because I feel like it should be someone's job to let you (The Public) know exactly what you are missing. I feel like someone should tell you how it is; without a biased (paid) opinion.
Hollywood should have hired me when they had the chance.
Here I'll be slashing everything apart. From movies you love to movies you can't stand. If you are of the sensitive nature please grow a backbone. I love opinions (but it doesn't mean I'll comply to them). I am stubborn to the core, but if you make a valid point (and I mean valid) I will inhale it and hold my breath on it for awhile, and give you my honest opinion; or even congratulate you for having said valid opinion.
I'm not going to tell you I loved a movie and leave it at that. I'm not going to upsell you on a film and tell you to watch it. If I think it stunk like a dead skunk on the road I'll tell you. If you throw hater comments at me I'll make sure to note who those with the less intelligent I.Q.'s are and move on. If you throw "BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE IT IN 3-D!" excuse at me I will simply tell you this "You don't have to see a movie in 3-D to know it sucked both ways." Plots tell all, and so do I.
Saving you money,
The Cinematic Slasher
P.S. To the Public
If you would like me to review a movie (if I haven't already seen it.) Let me know which movies you would like reviewed. At the moment I'm reviewing some of the recent films released.
P.S.S. To Fan Fiction Writers
Like I said I do find plot holes, if you are writing a Fan Fiction and need an idea for the movie you love but can't exactly fit your own characters into it? Drop me a line, I'll let you know where you need to be! Just give me some credit here okay?
On another note: It is called The Cinematic Slasher fora reason. However I will not hesitate to give my opinions on other things within this Blog. So please be ready, if you get offended easily than just stay clear away from me, because it is within my god given right to offend anything and everything.
