Avatar: Mixed Feelings

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2011)

Pros: Special Effects!!! I spent the extra money to see Avatar in IMAX 3D, and it was worth it. I felt like a little kid, just staring at, eyes wide open and jaw on the floor, and being blown away by all the pretty colors and cool plants and animals. It's pretty cool to see the limit of movie technology, and what is in store for the future. 5.9 out of the six stars I gave Avatar is for special effects alone. Some of the acting was also pretty good. The guy who played Jake, we will be seeing more of him in the future. The battle at the end was also pretty awesome. I like me some cool battles.
Cons: Pretty much everything else. The story felt like they put a bunch of different movie scripts in a food processor and let it rip. It's like "Pocahontas", "Dances with Wolves" etc. but... in SPACE! You know, kind of a "been there, done that" feeling the whole time i was watching Avatar. This movie will suck on just a T.V. It is only worth to see Avatar on IMAX, but it's no longer showing so sorry.
