Great in 3D

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2009)

Have just seen the latest work from James Cameron, and for anyone who has not seen it yet, if you do get the opportunity watch this movie in 3D.
The Positive: The visual effects are fantastic and the 3D doesn't throw shocks at you, rather it enhances the environment you have entered into. The planet of Pandora has visual wonders and elements that will at times take your breath away and the design of the native tribe of the planet is unlike anything you would have seen before. Very cool visuals, cool technology, even the weaponry used by the humans is very cool.
The Negative: The storyline is not spectacular and is pretty predictable, you will find yourself able to pretty much determine what is going to happen before it happens-as the good and bad guys are obvious to the audience and the knowledge of human nature in its drive to obtain resources. So you know where the story is going as we have seen it before. Dialogue at times a little weak and there are large gaps of time between action sequences, and when the action does hit it feels over just as it has began.
But the 3d is the enhancement and the main reason to see this at the cinemas. This movie will appeal to a wide range of audiences and is equal parts sci-fi and fantasy.
