Stunning on visuals, but very poor story, full of clitches. Worth the watch anyway

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2010)

Well, this movie is basically a technological demo. It's amazing on the graphical aspect, a noticeable step forward in visuals, and i really mean it, as I'm involved in the 3D industry also. And it's the only 3D movie I've seen so far which really should be seen in 3D. So anyone should watch it because it's a kind of breakthrough in the movie scene.
But apart of that this movie doesn't have much more good things.
Frankly the story is so full of cliché, so child-minded oriented that i don't really know how they had guts to use it on a movie of this "size" (unless the purpose is this one to be a childs' movie).
There're plenty of examples of 3D generated movies suitable for grown up minds (Pixar's "Up", for example), but this isn't in that group. A friend of mine compares it with Disney's Pocahontas, and i think he's not far of being right :) Anyway i don't regret to have spent money to see this one in a movie theater and i really recommend anyone to go there, get those 3G glasses and enjoy the visual experience. Despite the "bad men against nature finally won by an environmental-friendly small tribe, of course mixed with the human/tribal opponents falling in love" kind story the visual aspect deserved it.
So, kudos indeed for the visual department involved, but next time Mr.Cameron push it harder on the script. If you do that you will really get the 'perfect' movie you claim this one to be :)
