A website published an early review of James Cameron’s imminent 3D epic adventure, Avatar, saying that the effects are ‘literally vomit inducing’.

The reviewer from a hollywood gossip site, gawker.com, described the film as “alienating” and “weird”.

Below is the report of the reviewer who wishes to remain anonymous:

I watch a lot of movies, and am especially obsessed with watching horrible films with inflated budgets. I was delighted to find that Avatar didn’t disappoint in the absolutely horrible fetishizing of azure humanoids that James Cameron has obviously been drawing on the back covers of his notebooks since middle school and secretly getting off to in the gym locker room. The new technology they’ve been using to eliminate the headaches and sickness conducive to old 3D tech has not been used properly in the action scenes throughout Avatar. The problem is with cutting in between 3D focal points and perspective – the mind cannot adjust to it without a buffer – thus, Avatar is literally vomit inducing.

But the movie itself, the story/acting/tone are alienating and weird. Of course there are very beautiful moments, with great editing/sound/art direction, but overall it’s a horrible piece of shit. The entirety of the Hollywood marketing machine is behind it, however, so it’s going to make a boatload (eh I could slip a Titanic ref. whatever) of money.

Avatar is Cameron’s first dramatic feature since Titanic. The film is reportedly budgeted $237M. It is set for worldwide release on 17 December 2009.
