Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2013)

This movie is an assault on the senses, it creates a world like you've never before seen. A lot of people tend see the movie as dumb and unoriginal. But they don't realize that intelligence is to be found in all aspects of filmmaking, in its soundtrack, its direction, its special effects, etc. And if its story indeed isn't the most original or ingenious, it really doesn't have to, because after all film is a visual art. And Cameron is a visual filmmaker, who's entire body of work consists of films bent on getting the heartbeat UPP. And he succeeds so brilliantly! So again, Avatar is not a book, so we shouldn't dismiss it because its dialogue isn't the greatest or its characters not all that interesting, especially when the movie has so much going for it. The most impressing aspect of the movie is the planet and the alien flora and fauna, brought to live with dazzling eye for detail.
Cameron really went all out here and he should be respected for taking the risk here! Because this is not a remake, not another film in a billion dollar series, not an adaptation of a world renowned book, this is a very typical and visually revolutionary movie, which could really go anywhere (gross wise). John Carter proved that last year.
