A great movie with big flaws

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2010)

I did not have much expectations for this film when entering the cinema, only thing I knew was what I had seen of previews. Therefore I knew that the graphics were beautiful and full of life, in addition to the film being shown in 3D.
First of all the 3D effect was interesting, however not something which turned the movie from good to very good. I have seen it in both 3D and 2D and I would say that the difference is not major, because both have its ups and downs.
I were, to be honest, disappointed in this movie because of its lack of originality, character depth and at times embarrassing lines and acts. The plot in this movie is very similar to the one in Pocahontas, I also heard it is similar to other movies. Copying the plot from somewhere else is not a good thing in my book.
The character Jake Sully is acting unnatural in many of the situations he encounters. Without mentioning any scenes, all I can say is that I got embarrassed when watching some of them.
However there are not only bad parts. This movie has, as I pointed out, beautiful graphics. Additionally many scenes in this movie were, as I would describe them, epic. Once again, telling to much without spoiling is hard, however this movie really catches your attention and makes you forget you are sitting on a cinema. This movie is like digging around in a shiny piece of excrement, eventually finding jewels better than most.
Despite I did not give this a top notch grade, this is a "must see" movie.
