Not awful, but not great either

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2010)

Avatar does have some great things going for it. The cgi effects are pretty damn good, and watching it on the big screen in 3D is good entertainment. However, pretty graphics don't save the film. Its plot is paper thin and has been done a million times before, its characters are dull and cliché, and at times, it's so, so boring because of this.
Overall, it's entertaining enough the first time, especially on the big screen and in 3D, but re-watching it, I looked past the special effects wizardry that made it entertaining before and saw how terribly droll it was. Pretentious and boring, but it's okay for one view. Any-who, that's my review, and now I must bid you adieu. Ta ta.
