Not Camerons best

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2012)

Director James Cameron, makes one big, blue, slow film that looks beautiful but doesn't hold together as a story. Worthington plays a handicapped soldier who has his DNA fused with an alien being, and is able to control a hybrid avatar as he sleeps in a bed. Thanks to his commander his intentions are bad initially. But after months in an jungle with a dreadlocked female creature he has second thoughts.
Cameron packs a lot of visual imagery into his film, some of which you'll miss if you don't see it in 3-D, but the experience becomes tiring and fails to go anywhere.. The CGI creatures are goofy.
This is James Cameron's worst movie since the fx laden The Abyss
