Everything Wrong With Avatar In Four Minutes
When it comes to big-budget, sci-fi movies, it’s often easy to poke some holes in the story, creatures, setting, and really just anything else. Even the best ones have flaws and gaps in logic that folks are willing to point out. That’s the case with the original Avatar movie from James Cameron. Was it a massive win at the box office? Of course. Were there some issues? Big time.
Here, the guys from CinemaSins are back to tell you everything wrong with Avatar itself, matching the four-minute time limit they used for Prometheus. So you know there are quite a few problems here. That’s usually the case with these movies, and Avatar is so exception.
These videos are obviously made for humor’s sake, but should still be called “A Few Wrong Things and a Ton of Jokes in 4 Minutes.” My favorite joke by far was the one putting Michelle Rodriguez’s gender in question.
Still, they do hit upon the myriad of Avatar problems that people discussed once the film had been released. Some of those include the planetary physics and, well, the central plot in general. Plus, there are all of the genre tropes passing themselves off as intelligent and dramatic writing.
Some egregious bits they pegged well were how easily the beasts were killed, the Wile E. Coyote survivable fall, and the Ranger Rick reference.
We’d love to see a film set in the future that is chock-full of made-up references from events that haven’t happened yet. The film gets 64 sins in total. How many more can you find?
In the end, Avatar was obviously about as cool as a big sci-fi flick can be. It’s ambitious and visually stunning. But that doesn’t make it perfect as is easily pointed out.
And if you missed the Prometheus version, you can watch it right here.
