A good and very shiny movie. A bit too shiny thou to be perfect

Rating: 4/10 (20 March 2010)

First of all I really wanted to dislike this movie, when i sat down to watch it. I thought it will be only about the effects, because all i heard in these weeks, was: "OMG Avatar is so mind-blowing, all those effects wow, it was awesome." I thought this will be a dandy little eye-candy nothing more. And i was wrong, i give it that much. It managed to entertain me, and made me realize it has soul and brain too. But it also made me realize that Mr Cameron wants to be an UFO, more exactly a Navi too. Because he neglected everything human in this movie. All the scenes with REAL, flesh and bone actors were rushed, you could almost hear "get over with this quickly, so we can add another CGI bush or somethin to the next scene", and almost see how unconfortable he probably was when it came to REAL things... All the shiny effects... It sure was mind-blowing. It sure was fun. Once. But if this is the future of movie-making, i am not interested, i am still a HUMAN not a Navi or alien or anything, i would like to see REAL things in a movie. At least once in a hour..... But i really liked how slowlike and smooth the movie went. It took its time to discover the fauna and flora of the planet, even a National Geographic or Discovery Chanel movie couldn't do that better. But the conflict was too simple. I mean all the navis, even the one who looked aggressive at first, turned out to be nice, and all the leaders of the humans (corporate-guy, marine chief-guy, etc) seemed completely heartless. Well all things said and done, this is a good movie, but i still prefer human emotions, actors, real, flesh and bone things over aliens any day. And i am an avid sci-fi fan....Nuff said.
