Sci-fi + SFX + Neytiri = A technical masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2009)

This is only my second review on IMDb after my all-time favourite 'The Matrix'. So, it is quite obvious that I am a sucker for sci-fi.
Yet, I deducted one star for the lack of originality in the character and story departments. Full marks for the creation of a fictitious parallel world. I bow down to the technical team of this marvellous piece of art. Money well spent by the producers.
In the acting department, everyone did a fine job considering the transfer of the true human expressions on a graphic platform. (Again, of course, with the aid of the technical team.) The direction was fabulous, aided by some excellent editing, cinematography, sound and not to mention SFX.
This could easily be a wonderful tribute to the works of the many unknown entities who make an eye-opener of our movie-going experience.
Finally, I'd like to mention that I fell in love(genuinely) with Neytiri. For me, the tall, wild, blue, computer-generated damsel outshines all other cinematic goddesses. (Again, thanks to the technical brilliance behind 'Avatar'.) I'd be looking forward to an IMAX viewing as well as buying a Blu-ray player just for an 'Avatar' disc.
