Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (11 April 2010)

I found that although the film is a visual phenomenon, not unlike Titanic, the storyline was the the same old recycled garbage we have all seen a thousand times before. People move in, pefeeliople kill natives, natives fight back. The script wasn't much better and the acting performances were not bad but not exactly groundbreaking.
I got the feeling that James Cameron was throwing a bone to former actors of his that in this case I think they may have needed it. Examples: Sigourney Weaver (Aliens), I can't remember the last film I saw her in. Bill Paxton (Aliens, True Lies, Titantic) Who's last film I can remember him in was Titanic.
Maybe the visual effects were supposed to distract from the rest of the film but personally i believe although going to the cinema adds to the experience of most films, one should be able to at least enjoy it on the small screen.
