I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find out this film is so good!

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2010)

Mr. Cameron is back with another blockbuster Science-Fiction action film. Luckily this one doesn't suck.
Many people will now ask if I know who this man is, to which I would reply that I do. That's why he's lucky the cinema's open to him. For years, Cameron has been living on lack of innovation, thriving on the very archetype of the summer blockbuster. Luckily, we have evidence that this man actually has a brain.
Instead of the standard dull, brown action film, Cameron chose to create a powerful and stirring allegory for Manifest Destiny and the abuse of the Native Population of the United States. The story isn't the only thing that has been given a boost in hue, though. Thanks to the advanced and unique motion tracking and 3D Animation techniques used in the film, Cameron was able to create beautiful and lush landscape for the planet Pandora, a symbol for the "New World." It is a place of beauty, wonder, and - of course- the valuable element Unobtainium. Interestingly, Unobtainium is a scientific term for any element that cannot be easily attained, so we are left guessing what the element actually is. Whatever it is on Pandora, it makes a great symbol for the conquistadors' Unobtainium, Gold.
Though the film grows a little dull during the action sequences and should be shorter, it's still an excellent attempt to establish a new epoch of thinking man's Science Fiction. For that, I just wanted them to play it again.
James, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
