I’m going to say something of which I am not sure if it’s controversial, but Avatar is a decent film but not a good film or, god forbid, a masterpiece. And it this point, I don’t know if the hype around Avatar on this site is a bit or unironic.
It is actually good. It's not going to blow your mind or anything but the plot is serviceable, the dialogue is good, and the vfx are gorgeous. It's got Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriquez being cool. Worst case scenario treat it as a nature documentary about a cool alien world that also has some shooting.
It's completely fine. If you're expecting a serviceable action movie with tight direction and decent themes, you're going to have a good time. If you're expecting a cinematic masterpiece like Seven Samurai you're going to be very disappointed.
It's a visual spectacle wrapped around a medium-quality action-adventure movie. It's not bad, and it does do the CGI extravaganza better than other movies that tried it - it's certainly better than Marvel slop on all counts. But I still found it largely forgettable.

I feel like writing
About one of the greatest movies of all time is intended to be a joke.

I mean the Chapos do sincerely like the movie. The Avatar 2 episode of the podcast was quite a nice discussion
as a meme?
