Exactly what I expected

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2009)

Everyone either knows the plot by now or doesn't want to read it (or can read elsewhere on this and a million other sites) so I won't waste time with it. Let's keep it short and to the point.... The movie looks AMAZING. OK, there were a couple of scenes where I was reminded that the Na'vi were CGI, but for 99% of the movie, it is utterly convincing. The 3D is perfect - not overdone and not gimmicky. Yeah the dialogue is terrible and the story is pedestrian, but it's James Cameron who ranks just above Lucas in both of those categories, but this movie is a hundred times better than any Star Wars movie since "Empire". Don't go if you are expecting a game-changing movie in terms of genre, story or character. But if you want to give your eyes a special treat for 2 1/2 hours and just go along for a really great ride without thinking too much (which, again, is exactly what one should expect from James Cameron), then this is your movie.
