Very overrated, but still a good movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2010)

Avatar, the newest James Cameron epic.Avatar is officially the highest grossing film of all time(not counting the inflation of older films of course), beating Cameron's previous film "Titanic" which held the record for a good 12 years.Also keep in mind, the film was released in 3D and therefore the ticket prices for the 3D are higher than the price of an average ticket.Now visually, this film is amazing.The special effects are great and the film is nice to look at.The acting is good as well.The story on the other hand, has been done before.The film is about a young paraplegic marine named Jake Sully who takes part in a program where he is placed in the body of an alien and meant to stay in the alien tribe to learn how they live.At first, the others don't like him all that much, but they grow to like him and he grows to like them.However, the army is planning an attack on them.So now, Jake and the other aliens must fend them off.Avatar is a pretty good film, it's just not as breathtaking as everybody says it is.Worth a watch though I personally found it overrated.
