Query: What was all the hype about?

James Cameron should be ashamed of AVATAR. With a half-billion dollar budget and more hype than a Beatles reunion, this film should have been extraordinary. And I'll grant you this, that AVATAR is an extraordinary visual experience. Cameron has crafted an entire painstakingly detailed world onscreen, and as long as we stay immersed in that world AVATAR delivers all that it promises.But like so many sci-fi creators, Cameron committed the Cardinal Sin: He spent a half-billion dollars on effects and a buck three eighty on the storyline, which is nothing more than an unsatisfying high tech extraterrestrial version of cowboys and indians.Considering that he probably could have cured cancer for what this picture cost to make, Cameron should spend the next ten years in retreat, doing just that.The Hurt Lockerwasn't much as a Best Picture winner that year but it sent the message loud and clear that obscenely budgeted movies still need to have more than flash in order to succeed.
