undeserving of any accolades

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2009)

So here goes another "action thriller" movie which is like any other run-of-the-mill variety except for its 3D sauce.
A far-away planet inhabited by humanoids, who speak (accented English!!), act, walk, emote just like humans on earth, and whose land is rich in some mineral deposits - well the concept of "pandora" may be fine, its cinematography, or should I say rendering is awe-inspiring, use of 3D is innate and hence is simply mesmerizing, but without any story and character it is pure techno-porn.
A battle sequence that is spiced up with motion-controlled robots and fancy looking warships controlled by eye-candy projector screens, deserves a better climax than a knife and bow-arrow fight between the main characters, particularly so when the "winner" is a no-brainer!
Even as a 3D spectacle like "never-before-seen", at ~ 3 hours, even my eyes start feeling the weight of those goggles. To conclude, in my opinion, this is a movie about "How to win the love of a humanoid chick in less than 100 days" - (if you notice carefully, Jake's last video log is numbered 98!) No wonder it drags for so long...
