Why on earth don't they spend more time on the spot rather than spending more money on the movie? The end is so obvious from the beginning. Graceful tree-hugging Na'vis vs. greedy human-beings. So beyond LOTR or Matrix even though how much hi-tech is involved. What a waste of fiscal sources invested in! I respect the endeavor. But I didn't like it. It was the most emotional and educational video game I've ever seen. Promotion - Marketing - Trade. Mr. Cameron is richer than yesterday, since he taught us a good lesson? I was expecting a good plot, but all I got was strong visuals. It is not enough. At least, the film doesn't deserve the praises it got. When the praises were so overstated, my expectations got higher. Overinflated balloon popped. Characters imitated from Matrix or LOTR. Sully is so like Neo, rebellious, ignorant at first, then he crosses the good side and falls in love. An oracle who reads the marks. "Elf"ish kingdom; they respect the nature, they are noble and they are supernatural. Oh please. It's lacking the originality on every plane. Before the movie, there was a huge sequence of commercials. Some of them were about Wii games. I find them more original in terms of technology.

A very simple story with amateur casting can not impress me like this ever. It is about a passion of a two young people toward cinema, making their own projector with very primitive equipments. Their efforts are worth watching. Photography is perfect, every scene is a story itself, colored by the beautiful country side. Village and the villagers are so real that you get the impression as if you are watching a documentary about Turkish villages at the same time, showing the lifestyle, language, costumes, architecture, traditions, taboos and everything in a very lean way. A heartbreaking love story throws in a towel, very innocent but impossible because of the boundaries people set for their selves especially in Turkey. It makes you think how bright minds go in vein because of the lack of support or lack of facility. Fortunately imagination is all free. I am sure the filmmakers did not expect a box office, they put forth their hearts to display everything very sincerely and unreserved. Wish they can reach out the crowds.

I think, the movie is all about revenge. A simple interview turns out to be a war of minds and egos. In the end, we know all the deepest secrets of the interviewer, and absolutely nothing about the star. Sienna Miller disguises herself very successfully and misleads Buscemi, making him reveal himself; lose his cocksure appearance and his fake credentials. Surprisingly she does all these with honesty and her honesty beats up the hypocrisy of the other. It makes you keep watching and does not let you lose track of the dialog's in spite of the one shot in one room. Good dialogs, good acting, good movie. Do not play the game with someone who can play better.
