Cliché but couldn't turn away

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2010)

When I first heard of Avatars massive success and the praise it was getting I figured I might just go and check it out, and in that horrible 3D. So I went in not expecting too much and by the time I came out of the theatre I was kind of let down. James Cameron used a simple story that has been done many a time before with no change to it what so ever (think dancing with wolves), but oddly enough I still found myself enjoying some small moments of this predictable movie.
Basically go see it with an open mind, don't believe the hype, visually stunning but just horrible as a story, and this was proved when "The Hurt Locker" pretty much beat it to every Oscar in 2009 with a lower budget as well. Not James Camerons finest watch but still was OK to sit through despise how predictable it really is.
