Dances with Thundercats in Waterworld the Last Rainforest?
Look, I have no doubt that this film is going to be visually astonishing. If the movie doesn't look amazing (assuming you see it in a theater capable of showing it off), then Mr. Cameron's going to have wasted untold millions of dollars. But everything I've seen and/or read about the plot makes me literally want to go drown in a big bathtub full of movie cliches filled with piranhas or electric eels.
Cameron has made some great movies, but what has really kept them above trash action has been the heart at their core. I've not seen a shred of that with this movie. I'll be seeing it, but my hopes are not great. And the hype has done nothing to assuage that.
