Avatar is the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, folk can't seem to get enough of the science fiction epic and are going back for repeat viewings.
Which is why I list it here.
It's the second highest grossing movie of all time, yet no one who has watched it can quote a single line from it, or recall the name of any character.
Avatar: The Way of Water is 3rd highest grossing (Ignoring inflation) so it's not just the 3D part.
And people cosplay it frequently.
I really don't get it.
Huh, I certainly can't. The only name that I can recall is "unobtanium" because it's so stupid. "Big dumb movie that has good visuals" has always been my estimation of it.
It was a pretty awesome experience to see in theaters at the time. The story was ass even then but the affects were amazing enough to carry it. My GF at the time and I went back twice to see it. Watching it on a regular screen these days it's completely forgettable.
