Military Bad, Trees Good
You know, with all the bashing Prometheus has gotten recently, it’s worth remembering that Avatar was a significantly shittier movie. Thankfully the Honest Trailers guys have finally gotten around to doing their take on James Cameron’s Dances with Ferngully, and it’s… well, it’s both honest and accurate, is what it is. My immediate thought after watching it was to wonder when they’d do Prometheus, but I wonder how honestly describe a movie that makes so little sense. I figure they should just retitle it Bad Decisions in Space and leave it at that.
