Avatar 2009

First time I watched this movie was in the theatre in 3D back in 2009. I remember being blown away by the visuals and enjoyed the movie well enough. Once I left the the theatre and reflected back on the movie, I realized the story was pretty generic and it really wasn't a great film, but the beauty of the movie distracted from that. Here I am watching Avatar 14 years later on my living room TV. This movie has not aged well and it is less impressive. Those jaw-dropping visuals are now dated and have a very fake, video-gamey look. The story is still generic of course and unfolds in exactly the way the viewer would expect. Stephen Lang is an awesome villain though and seeing him get his comeuppance is worth waiting for.
