			<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: blue">As a side note, I want to say that the storyline was made around ten years <br />ago. So if you are calling the storyline cliche, aren&#039;t you comparing it to <br />today&#039;s storylines? If this storyline was made ten years ago, I don&#039;t think it <br />should be called cliche.</span></p>]]></description>

GREATEST EFFECTS EVER! THE BATTLE WAS AWESOME! PANDORA WAS AWESOME! EFFECTS ARE AWESOME!</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Neither.</p><p>My true opinion on it was that the story was not amazing, but simple and yet effective at the same time. I think this is due to a lot of factors that compliment each other well. I&#039;m basically restating what I already said - and none of it mentions something as superficial as graphics alone.</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>Starscream wrote:</cite><blockquote><div><p>People went to see the movie not because of the characters, not because of the story but because they wanted to see the effects and the gimmicky overrated 3D tehnology.</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Well now you&#039;ve met your exception. <img src="https://www.spyroforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="auto" alt="smile" /></p><p>And I&#039;m far from the only &quot;exception&quot; as well.</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>Starscream wrote:</cite><blockquote><div><p>Everybody else *bleep* loved the movie and think James Cameron is god and that this is the greates movie ever made.</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Now you&#039;re just venting. <img src="https://www.spyroforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="auto" alt="smile" /></p><p>I believe what people are saying is that few expected Cameron to make a movie that would nearly match his Titanic many years ago. They thought he couldn&#039;t pull off something like that again, especially after it has been many years since. So basically not &quot;the greatest movie ever made&quot;, but more like a &quot;surprising&quot; comeback with successful results. The whole execution of the movie is epic, and an original story isn&#039;t required to make something epic. You can view this as even more amazing that Cameron managed to wow the audience DESPITE an unoriginal plot. That&#039;s something.</p><p>Hope that clears things up.</p><br /><br /><p>P.S. Starscream, the way you post your thoughts is far more adamant and stubborn than what we call a humble opinion</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Everybody who I&#039;ve known to watch the movie never had special effects as the main selling point for the movie - I guess Starscream is making an assumption that CGI stuff is what the audiences rave the most? I found the story to fit very well, and it conveys itself effectively to the audience emotionally too. Whatever it is, the execution was great IMO and eliminates whatever hullaballoo there is about story originality. I couldn&#039;t care less about the actual graphics or those funky 3D glasses.</p>]]></description>

The storyline is cliched and pretty much every major reviewer and watcher knows that, but the character portrayals and the beautiful detail all makes it a story that is still worth watching regardless of its similarities. I will appreciate a film for its beauty and in depth storyline just as much as one that might be cliched but still told very well.</p><p>One of the things I want a movie to do is just grasp my attention and make me forget things for two hours, and enjoy wasting that time doing it. The art of film-making can be complex and daunting and things like super special effects can help TRY and bring that feeling up a little bit...but you can tell that they put a lot of time into perfecting the visual effects and such, and even with the weak storyline I still enjoyed watching it because it grasped my attention.</p><p>I&#039;ve seen plenty of movies that are suped up but obviously have a dull as dirt plot, but this one more then made up for something a little familiar. Anyways that&#039;s just my view on it...I&#039;ll have to check out the movie you mentioned before.</p>]]></description>
