Avatar and why I like it!

I just saw Avatar last night, and I have to say, it wasn't very good.

However, there's no question that the things they did with CGI were wonderful. It's an art form.

I just feel that most aspects of a movie should be well-done to be considered a good movie. The special effects were beautiful, but the story and dialogue were unbelievably trite.

For me a movie is good if I feel emotionally connected to the characters.

I felt emotionally connected to them I could understand where they were coming from and relate to them.

Maybe it's just me, but I watch movies for the emotions they evoke. Even if the emotions are just awe and wonder, which is mostly what I got out of Avatar. Yes, the story was predictable. So what? It was fun to watch. And for me, that's all that really matters. If I don't have to spend the whole time figuring out the plot, I can pay more attention to the spectacular scenery and fanciful animals (including the Na'vi and avatars).
