I’ve never heard of the visual effects making people sick. Perhaps the people you heard it from just have weak stomachs? :/

Well, I am very curious but very hesitant! I think if the ‘visual effects’ make some people sick, they might just have been overdone. And God, that movie is too expensive to have a “borrowed” plot. I need to see it before I stop having an open mind about it. :D

Avatar, It’s kind of impossible thing! How can plant live on that planet without oxigen?

I’ve heard so many bad things about the plot I’m not sure I want to see Avatar now. I don’t know if amazing visual effects will sustain my attention alone.

When I watched it, I was stunned by the visual effects, and I was like Oh.My.God. O_O But now that I do think about it, the plot is just so-so. I’d also give it a 9/10.

The more I think about Avatar, the less I like it XD
In my mind, the impressive visual effects aren’t as lasting as the weakness of the plot.

The visual effects outweighed the weakness of the plot, IMO. (It kept me entertained when the plot bored me :P) But I don’t think it deserves a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars because a movie that truly deserves that award needs to be strong in every aspect of a film, which Avatar is not.

I pretty much agree with everything you mention, especially with how well-thought the Na’vi culture was. I’m surprised to see your rating, though. A 9/10 for a movie that has a ‘rather weak plot’ seems a little bit too much, but of course, this comes from a person who rarely gives out 10/10 to anything XD
