I really don't know what Cameron was thinking in this one. Yes it's visually spectacular and the 3D version is something else. Go see it for the visuals alone if like good visual.

Then we have the problems. Not a single character had any development or depth. There was no back story to any of the characters or events and the movie has little connection to the original (which was also a terrible movie).

The whole story arc was poorly written and more in line with something a child would write. Why Cameron decided to put so much effort and money in a story that is so flawed and full of plot holes is beyond me.

The movie looks good and is selling. Maybe I'm just more of a book guy after all. I thought it was horrible but can't go lower that 6/10 because of visuals that compare to few or even none.

Story wise 1/10, Character wise 1/10, Visually 16/10 which gives this my net score of 6/10. I want to go lower but the visuals are just that good so I wont. Will I see it again? Never. Will it be remembered? No, it will be forgotten and in 20 years people will ask: Was there a second Avatar movie?

This is a piece of art, if you don't like art or classical novels then just skip this movie. This is Tim Burton interpreting a classic story in a beautiful and elaborate way.

Of course the movie doesn't compare to the book story wise just as the book has nothing on the movie visually.

Burton however comes close to creating visually what you imagine when you read in the book didn't he? My only complaint about the movie is that in some scenes the CGI looked a bit dated but if that is the only complaint... You know you have something note worthy to look at.

I really don't know what happened with this movie. I've seen better CGI in movies made before 2010. Dialogues, character building and story structure is better in any Michael Bay movie but he at least compensates for it in action, suspense and epic scenes and shots.

I have no idea about what message or ideology this movie was suppose to the audience consider. I've seen deeper social criticism in Michael and Webb "are we the baddies" comedy scene. Was this movie a comedy, adventure or sci fi? I don't know and frankly I don't care.

Who were the characters? What was their purpose and drive? I don't know. I never connected to any character or got any interest in the story. This movie just moved from one McGuffin quest to another. I've seen better story structure in 80's video games.

What bothered me the most was how much of a nothing this movie was. It was bad indeed but it wasn't bad enough for me to enjoy how bad it was. Everything was bad, don't get me wrong, but not epic bad so it's good like Cats or The Room. The movie failed to fail.

Please Marvel, you have many good movies, please don't repeat anything like this ever again. Black Panther and Captain Marvel weren't perfect but compared to The Eternals they were like Shawshank Redemption and Godfather.
