Nah, those movies are ass. They just have amazing special effects.
... and somehow they still get butts in seats and lots of people enjoy them.
People want to see the cutting-edge cgi. In that sense it absolutely is qualityslop.
Did anyone really feel like the CGI was cutting edge at the time? Maybe I was hard to impress, but I felt like it was a bad movie with mid-grade CGI 🤷♂️
Yes, it's absolutely cutting edge CGI. Every one of those movies pushed CGI technology so much further.
I had the pleasure of watching a talk by the CGI team at an animators convention when the second movie came out and it's absolutely insane how much work goes into every tiny detail. The first thing they did for example, was to animate a water drop as physically correct as possible. And then they build up from there. They also filmed hours of reference material.
Remember the scene in the second movie where they burn down the huts? They build one of those huts for real, live sized (remember the Navii are bigger than humans) and hand weaved. And then they burned it down. Just to see how fire interacts with that material.
The Avatar movies are nothing special story wise, but from a CGI point of view, they have always been groundbreaking.
The first one felt pretty amazing at the time. It was enough that I left the theater feeling like I had watched a good movie. When I watched it again later on TV I was like... wait a minute, this isn't good.
