Stunning but story not good enough.

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2009)

I have anticipated this movie for over a year now. I watched it on 16 December in Belgium. I have watched all of james cameron's films and have come to love all of them. The thing about james cameron was that he could direct scenes so good that they did not age over time. He has always been groundbreaking in both technology and action scenes. He has certainly lived up to the technology hype around this movie. The world he has created is something like you've never seen before. The faces of the na'vi look so real you will not believe it. The 3D scenes are incredible. You will not get poked in your face but you will be injected in the movie itself. This movie has certainly set new standards for science fiction movies.
However.
As I said, i did not expect much of the story, but i did at least expect some more drama. This was not a drama to me. There are nearly no good conversations. The message of the story is very good, but the way he has brought it to kids, not to adults. This is a story written for kids, not adults. And that is very disappointing. With the right grown up attitude of the story this movie would have been one of the best ever. Now it is not.
