Visually Gold

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2010)

I went into this movie not expecting much. It just seemed to be one of those animated movies with not much to offer but rave praises following it. I must admit, this movie nearly blew all of my expectations out of the water, for the better. Firstly, the special effects were absolutely outstanding - a visual treat which was almost enough alone to keep you glued to your seat. The plot followed the same blockbuster big-hit formula which we've seen Cameron apply to his other movies. The plot itself was strong enough to carry the viewer through the movie, although it wasn't a spectacular plot which would push my rating above 9. Aside from the long run time - which always gets me... I just hate sitting still for such a long time. No matter what the movie is, a long run time always affects my rating (usually). But to those of you who have no problem sitting in one place for 2 and a half hours then that won't be a problem.
Overall was a great movie, definitely would watch it again - 8.5 / 10
