Don't believe all the hype, but the effects were cool

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2019)

I heard a lot of people say that this should have won the Oscar instead of Hurt Locker. Sorry but I have to disagree. Hurt Locker was good, but Avatar just felt like an old rehash of FernGully with a little bit of Dances with Wolves thrown in there, and not nearly as well done as either of those. James Cameron has lost it, if you ask me. And yes that's right, I said FernGully, the old cartoon for kids. The two really are very similar you will see.
That being said, the special effects here were very well-done if you ask me, and they kept me engaged enough to stick through until the end of this film. So take from that what you will. If you like big effects, this might be the movie for you, but if you're looking for a good story you're better off looking someplace else.
