#Avatar the legend of aang movie 2010 series
The result is at times reminiscent of David Lynch's Dune, only not in a good way, as this character's voiceover intersects with that character's voiceover, all doing their expository best to get across vital plot points that the series had 20 episodes to unveil.īent?+Or+broken? The long and short of it is that a boy messiah named Aang (Noah Ringer, reciting his lines as if he's just been cast in a middle-school play) has been missing for a century from the magical realm of the Airbender world. Based on the quite popular Nickelodeon cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, the film condenses the first season of that show into its brief 103 minutes of running time. Alas, this new direction does not seem to have revived his former great potential. The Sixth Sense writer-director had once been known for crafting his own smallish but memorable thrillers, but as his work's quality has grown increasingly dismal in recent years (see Lady in the Water or The Happening… or rather, don't see them), Shyamalan finally decided it was time for a change of pace. Night Shyamalan to make a big-budget, effects-heavy fantasy film - and one based on preexisting material at that. The film is notable because it is the first attempt by the once mighty M. Also gone, unfortunately, is any semblance of heart or drama or, really, anything of interest at all. The title Avatar isn't the only thing that The Last Airbender has lost in its transition from the small-screen world of animated television to the realm of would-be franchise feature filmmaking.
