The movie is clearly inspired by Avatar The Last Airbender, sharing many elements with the source material, to the point where the main characters are Captain Ersatz-es of Aang, Sokka and Katara.
Seriously though, if one is not a fan of the original series, do not watch this film. The plot will be incomprehensible and the concept confusing. If you are a fan of the source material, do not watch this film. The plot has been butchered, and the characters and characterization literally do not exist.
A Spectacular Failure, On Every Level.
M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender is, in short, fail on a stick. Before watching this film, keep in mind that it is ''not'' a film adapatation of Avatar The Last Airbender. It is, however, a rather long amateur film by an up-and-coming director, which, while trying hard, is not really very entertaining.
