It was praised in its theatrical release, and I remember being one of the few people that didn't like it.
When it came out for home release, public opinion shifted on it quickly. When it can't use its 3D effects to wow the audience and make it go "Look at that creature, look at those plants, isn't this fun and imaginative." its story has to stand on its own. And since that story is "Dances With Smurfs: Baby's First Creative Writing Project"... Yeaaaah no
I knew it was going to be shit when in an interview James Cameron said "You can see how even the best humans are bad people and even the worst Na'vi are good people!", and me being a writer immediately saw a red flag.
This is true, I remember it being lauded in theaters.
I mean, I guess not everyone is media savvy and the story could have felt "new" to some, but there wasn't a character that stood out or anything, no cast stealing the show...
The vibe I got was that people were oohed and ahhed by the "Colors man!"
But if I wanted that I could just stayed home, put on some synthwave, and eat some of those psycilosibin gummies they sell at vape shops.
