A feast for the eyes

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2010)

James Cameron's Avatar was by far the most awaited movie of the 2000's, and has certainly lived up to its expectations. But wait! Not everything was ooh-aah-wow along the way...
OK, first off, taking nothing away from what this film delivers, visually it's just BRILLIANT. Personally I could have waited ten more years if they promised to bring something like this out. The action scenes were exciting, CGI top-notch, and some performances eg. Signourey Weaver were worth mentioning. Zoe Saldana, though never shown as a human, delivered a memorable performance vocally as well as providing some facial expressions for the Na'vi character.
Now the bad. What I didn't like about the movie (and I am talking about ten years' time they had to improve on it) is its story. Wasn't cutting-edge for me. Considering that his earlier projects were strong stories, I thought Cameron could have delivered better. That said, it didn't matter in the end, did it! The box-office tells us another story.
All in all, Avatar was a very enjoyable experience, and I am not gonna hide anything from you, honestly I couldn't resist watching it a second time! 9/10
