A long drag (yet very impressive).

"I don't look at scripts. I just write them" – James Cameron
The story of this movie is one long drawn out cliché, which you have felt and seen before: There are good guys and bad guys, a bad guy turns into a good guy, and the new good guy must save all the good guys from the bad guys (simply put). Well, the "good guys" (the Na'vi) lives in the forests of the planet Pandora, and are totally one with the nature. Yeah they have their sacred nature places where they pray to their God and they live in a big tree and everything is really holy (oh like the elves in Lord of the Rings??). I hate that 'holy' pseudo crap.. And when they go to war with the "bad guys", they paint themselves up in the face (oh like Indians??) Even their language is very similar to the elvish language in Lord of the Rings, at least it sounds very similar. My point is just that the story isn't very original after all.
Well of course the bad guys wants to destroy the good guys sacred home, because beneath their big tree they have endless rare resources (yeah because we're all capitalists in the western world, so all we care for is MONEY and we don't give a damn about a sacred nature place) In the lead of this invasion towards the avatars we have this big bad a#¤ action man stereotype with scars and all that, he even have these great fearless and feeling less cliché lines like: "lets get his done, I want to be home for dinner" etc.
BUT besides all the clichés and stereotypes there lies a very impressive made movie, with awesome and very enjoyable special-effects. James Cameron is a true master when it comes to making action. In my opinion it's just boring most of the time because I don't really feel for any of the characters, that's all. In other words: The movie is just like most models, beautiful and hot on the outside, but empty within. And like someone else said: 80% will enjoy it to the max and rate this 8-10, while 20% will find it boring and rate it between 1-5.
