You know, I think Hollywood has finally jumped the shark. They’re searching for gimmicks to keep people coming into the cinemas because I firmly believe that they have now completely run out of ideas.
Take Avatar. Billed as one of the greatest movies ever to grace the silver screen. What’s so special about it? It’s in 3D. That’s it. Whoop-dee-fucking-do. I remember seeing a 3D film at Sea World over a decade ago.
And they’re pushing the 3D angle so hard because if you look at the story, you realise that it’s just derivative dribble. I find it hard to believe that James Cameron has spend over 10 years working on this film and still could only come up with a basic “person working for The Man starts to question his work and eventually turns against them” plot that has been overplayed in a million Disney movies over the years.
It’s just crap. It’s not worth getting excited over. Sod it.
