Cameron pushed my buttons

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2010)

If you like science fiction, victory of the underdogs, love stories, extensive and clever computer graphics, western-like bad guys and good guys, then Avatar will entertain, and you will be uplifted. The theme is as old as David and Goliath, and of course has been repeated ad infinitum. It's cleverly crafted entertainment, sure to please most in the audience.
However, if you demand a modicum of plot originality, subtle acting, and intellectual depth, then Avatar will likely not satisfy.
Me? I'm a sucker for science fiction plots and computer graphics, so I left the theater feeling slightly satisfied.
