Avatar

The king of the world is back in business! After directing the highest-grossing, highest-Oscar winning film in history, James Cameron returns to the film industry 12 years later with a film he thinks will change the world. It makes use of all new CGI-technology, including new 3D cameras, meaning that Cameron can basically create an entire animated world and then use cameras to film from specific angles in the fake environment. Whatever the fuck that means. For us, Avatar won't probably change anything other than our pants, which will become shitstained after watching it. Seriously, look at this screenshot from Avatar and try not to violently defecate in your pants.

This is a screenshot from... oh, hang on.. AUGGGHHHHJOHNSON-HEIMER... erm... screenshot from Avatar...

We're not sure if its whether the movie looks really good or really cheesy-bad, but there is something about the hype and mystique surrounding Avatar that just can't keep our pants clean. Maybe its the fact that the director of Aliens and Terminator 2 is returning to the sci-fi genre that keeps us interested. Maybe its the gentle, passionate furry love story guns, guns, war, explosions and guns (manly guns) that makes us feel warm and fuzzy manly and powerful.

[Note: At this point, original CRACKED contributor Bobby Shaftington was fired because all of his jokes were about poop and furries. CRACKED hired a new contributor, Garret Anusplower, to finish the topic page on Avatar with a higher level of sophistication. We apologize for the immature first section.]

Ahem.

Ok, now we're going to do jokes that are actually funny, we swear

Avatar tells the story of a Marine, Jake Sully, who was confined to a wheelchair after being injured in combat. He enlists in the new Avatar program, which seeks to combine humans with Na'vi, mystical fox-like creatures that live on Pandora, one of Earth's new moons. Then somehow an epic war starts that decides the fate of the world. Just like every other blockbuster in the world. Avatar has been promoted as "the single most complex piece of filmmaking ever made", "beyond the cutting edge", "the film event of its release day".

However, Avatar has come under some criticism for what is perceived, based on the trailer at least, to be not-revolutionary CGI, as hyped. Instead, many animators have labeled Avatar as "Avatarded" (animators aren't the brighest folks).

James Cameron to George Lucas: "Get the fuck out of my studio"

Due to the somewhat unorthodox appearance of the creatures, the Na'vi, in Avatar, many have compared them to the creatures featured in an extremely low budget animated film called Delgo. We here at Cracked aren't to judge, but...

It's hard not to notice some similarities.
