Spellbinding effects...old story

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2010)

The effect of watching Avatar in 3D is absolutely mesmerising...the world that Cameron creates is quite extraordinary...the special effects quite revolutionary. You can't help but be blown away by it.
For all its technological superiority, the story is quite uninspiring and commonplace (I like the fact that humans are the bad guys rather than the aliens). When one saw Star Wars, what one is left with is not only the special effects and movie-making skill of Lucas but the dramatic elements of the movie. That's why its stays and will remain a classic for time to come. Many movies have broken technological boundaries but they will always be bested by something else more memorable. So Avatar will become another such movie which people will be amazed about for a while until the next bigger and newer movie comes around...
