Ground Breaking 3d animation - same old tired battle sequence - missed opportunities.

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2009)

The special effects, 3d and animation in Avatar are worth the price of admission alone, simply jaw dropping. This movie is not to be missed if you want to see state of the art effects. I totally enjoyed the 3d aspects of the movie, but the all to boring and familiar battle scene finale left me disappointed. I thought it was so ironic that Sigourney Weaver starred in this movie and over 20 years ago was in Alien, with a very similar movie ending. The same old same old battle with a human in a robotic machine. Same as in one of the Matrix movies. Come on, think of something better! The characters in my opinion also lacked depth. There was real potential in this movie but the emphasis was on visuals and not character development and a decent story- line. This plot was lame. I so wanted to like this movie, but I came away disappointed. I'm so over these tiresome and repetitious battle sequences.
