‘Avatar’ opens December 18 and movie fans on the Internet are gearing up. It’s been over a decade since James Cameron’s ‘Titanic,’ and his latest effort, long in the making, is being touted as a technological breakthrough.

The film, which uses specially designed cameras, combines 3-D and stereoscopic filmmaking, and cost $273 million to make, is generating a great deal of hype. But there are those who refuse to get excited.

Hollywood website Gawker.com has published an anonymous letter/review from someone it claims is a “real live entertainment worker,” who has seen large segments of the movie. In the letter, the nameless person says ‘Avatar’ is “literally vomit inducing.” Gawker says the letter adds to the “mounting evidence that ‘Avatar’ will suck.” It certainly adds to the evidence that there are people who desperately want it to “suck.”

The letter writer begins with, “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…”

“The problem” says the letter writer, 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.”

The writer says the film is “alienating” and “weird” and that “there are very beautiful moments, with great editing/sound/art direction, but overall it’s a horrible piece of sh*t.” 

‘Avatar’ is an epic set on a distant planet called Pandora, which is home to an indigenous population called the Na’vi. It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver.
