I know – the consensus on this is that it’s a terrible, terrible movie rather than a terrible awesome movie, and I get it: it’s a complete Dances With Wolves ripoff, the story is stupid, and it sort of makes you want to have sex with a large blue alien. But… the special effects are really, really cool. I don’t even need to get high when I watch Avatar, it just makes me feel high naturally, especially when they’re walking around in the rave-like psychedelic forest and having wars on floating mountains on the backs of gigantic alien birds. I admit, in general, Avatar is terrible. But… it’s awesome.
