Mediocre and overrated in my opinion

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2017)

Sure, this film's digital CGI is dazzling on the surface, but I found that Avatar was all flash and no substance. The overuse of computer effects just came off as cheap to me, though that largely depends on the preferences of the individual viewer, and I found it impossible to relate to the characters or even to like them. Certainly a lot of undeniable hard work went into Avatar, and to be fair I don't think it's absolutely loathsome or terrible - just terribly overrated, and I'm sick of people always raving about it to me. I watched it, didn't like it, never will, nor do I need persuasion, but I can definitely appreciate that many people, especially hardcore sci-fi and fantasy fans, enjoy it, and I'm fine with that.
