What a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (29 September 2012)

I've watched this film several times now trying to love it but I can't. I have watched in 3D at the cinema by the way and although that does enhance the experience, mainly via the special effects, i'm still not satisfied. Part of this reason is because of James Cameron's decision to make it a love story, I mean what the hell. He didn't have to make it a love story, this could have been a tale about what man does to nature but no he makes it a love story. Why? Even though the film made the mistake of making it a love story between different species and predictable, the worst part is that they have sex. Yes that's right sex as in a man and an alien. If they hadn't done this then I might have even loved the film, but oh well. Thpugh to be fair it does have some good qualities such as the acting, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver stand out the most, amazing special effects and some fantastic fight scenes however they alone don't save the film. Now they are doing another 2 Avatars and then a prequel, all I can say is this: If James Cameron dares make the prequel a love story as well I will lose all respect for him. You maybe wondering why, well the reason is that it will be too similar to the first Avatar and either way personally I think it's a waste of time, if anything I think he should just acquire the rights for Jurassic Park and make the Jurassic park film he wanted to make.
