Too Cartoon-ish

Rating: 5/10 (5 September 2011)

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! I guess I am one of the few people that didn't really like the movie. It was too predictable for one thing and the graphics were too cartoon-ish. I really had problems with "floating mountains." Even on a low gravity planet, I find that rather improbable. It seems the plants are carbon-based but never explains why the animals are semi-aquatic (breathing through gills but we see no water.) Perhaps I am to rooted to more realistic sci-fi adventures...of which there are very few. I have yet to figure out why they are blue.
Mr. Cameron was able to cover the dichotomy of humans: the strength of our humanity is only matched by our incredible viciousness.
On the whole, however, if one wants to get away from reality for a few hours it is worth a viewing. Don't expect anything like Space 2001 or even something like Star Wars ( I just love it when they have sound in space), but if one takes it as a pure fantasy, it is worth the watch.
