I don't think most people hate Avatar, I just generally see that it's weird that the movie didn't have much of a cultural impact.to be honest,... it's been a while and the only things i can specifically remember about that completely forgettable movie is:
Which feels strange for the biggest grossing movie ever.
You look up Avatar, you get the TV show.
I hardly ever see memes about Avatar the movie, whereas The Lord of the Rings is constantly memed.
1. how cool it was to see those 3D particle affects when that tree was losing it's seeds or whatever
2. how much my stomach dropped the moment when they took flight on those flying creatures
in other words,.. i only remember the technology. the movie would have been a complete flop if it was shot in 2D.
