Visually magnificent, but the rest is sadly lacking.

Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2010)

Avatar is, visually, quite the most magnificent film I have ever seen, without a doubt.
The 3D is fantastic, with hardly anything that jumps out at you, more just adding a depth to the action that draws you in.
Intertwining of CGI and 'real' elements is seamless and once again beautifully done.
But.....
The premise is ridiculous.
The plot is ludicrous.
The script is laughable (e.g. "why didn't you kill my ass?") and did indeed bring forth much laughter from the audience.
The character development is hackneyed and unsatisfying.
Having said all that, I would heartily recommend you see this movie, as it is visually a real work of art.
The rest is hype.
