A visual masterpiece but i expected more...

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2010)

Like in many reviews, Avatar is stunning with amazing visual effects and planet named Pandora offer a much eye of the candy for fans which loves special effect movies. James Cameron created a whole new way making the movies. Motion capture offer give to actors more spaces for improve they performances and making believable characters. And we can only hope that we not gonna see anymore those some awful characters like in the Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones movie.
Nowadays Hollywood doesn't care about a much about the story and quality. Money solve$ many things and that's why special effects got too big part in the movies. In Avatar is an typical grow up story and which have been told a many times. But James Cameron lift it up from dozens movies group because he is still A STORYTELLER and damn good director. But if others could do focused more to quality, Avatar couldn't been a such big deal what is it now. Unfortunately the hype take a over and fans go to see/watch just for special effects and 3D. There are is still a strong message and themes.
All that hype, Avatar would have been a "flop" but James Cameron handled it very well and remeeded almost all expectations. But Avatar a bit suffer same reason like many other blockbuster films. There are no much background stories about the planet and characters are like papers. Sorry fans, but i expected more. So i ask very clearly: Cameron wrote that movie a many years in his mind so why he didn't made a better the story and took a many elements from other movies etc.. The movie visual side is fantastic but i expect that the story would have been a stronger.
There has a much speculations about Zoe Zoldana and her Oscar-nomination. But it is worthy to win? Off course a strong female roles should get more attention because "actresses" like Megan Fox and Kirsten Stewart dominate box offices and get too much attention. So it is a like upper that "a real" actress got in the good movie with an amazing role which did not just based on actresses sexiness.
But one actor is a very underrated and deserve more. A year 2009 was Sam Worthington's . He raised in the international star for the Terminator Salvation film like in one night. Even that Avatar's script suffers for little incomplete story, Sam's character grow trough the movie but in the end Sam's charisma and acting skills do it rest. So he is a quite good actor and i wish that he continue to do more good roles.
9/10
