It was the 3D gimmick.

I still think that the worldbuilding was fan-fucking-tastic. It was the fact that they chose to go with the most boring, cliche story they could've that killed it.
and also the acting is meh

Watched it once and was never inspired to watch it again. It was just okay.

It may not be the actual start of the trend, but I look at it as the final landmark that ushered in an era of the major film industry being artless popcorn schlock. We barely even get oscar bait style dramas anymore, I feel like.

The international popularity of the film stems from its condemnation of US foreign policy. The film is an indictment of the War on Terror.

Gravity looked really cool in 3D too, but these are the only two 3D movies that really stood out to me.

New 3D

Interesting idea with a fairly simple premise

Good visuals/worldbuilding

Came out in the middle of a recession when people were miserable and just wanted to escape

Did not like it. Appa was missing, Aang was blue and they replaced the Spirit World with some kind of heartbeat Internet.

Seriously, though, that glorified Fern Gully was such a bore. The best part was the floating islands in 3D. I barely remember anything else from it other than the archetypes of the plot points.

The Colonel is underappreciated. Good character and badass.

The allure was mostly the visuals and the world building.

okay i'll admit that the 3D was visually p amazing and the CGI was groundbreaking

but i'm watching a blu-ray of it now and i'm still surprised that it was the highest grossing movie until avengers endgame when it comes to the execution of the story, and how boring some parts of it was

3D TVs never really took off for home use, and I don't think the allure of the visuals translates as well on home video without 3D.
