It's a great movie....But not really the kind that amazes me

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2010)

When I first watched Avatar in the cinemas, I actually thought it was a really good sci-fi flick. Because it's got a good mix of visual and special effects, a good story, convincing character development etc. But what I find most interesting in this movie is the social commentary of corporate greed and respect for other people's cultures and beliefs, I can see that James Cameron is using the saying "Money is the root of all evil" as the device that keeps the story going.
Yet despite of all the Awards that the movie received I personally think that it is just one of your typical sci-fi movie. Overall I think that this movie is very good but overrated.
