Best movie in 3D ever&amazed by effects; but huge leaks in plot&story

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2010)

One thing is sure: this movie won't let you leave cinema without emotions ! It's simply amazing to watch this masterpiece in 3D and enjoy Pandora's beauties just like you are...there. In the middle of happening ! Mr. Cameron has really done wonderful job, to create this magic world for all of us.
On the other hand...story is leaking. Badly. There are several possible reasons, but let's name some. For a start: length of the movie. You just cannot recreate saga of that huge amount in one movie ! When you draw the parallels f.e. with Lord of the rings - there were 3 movies, to "tell the whole story". And then...you are just forced to cut some things. Some questions: What happened with brother of Jake Sully ? How Jake Sully becomes paraplegic ? Who is the mighty company (purpose), what for is company mining on Pandora ? Why is US state allowing such operations with no control at all (genetic mixing humans with aliens??) ?
In battle part: why the hell Na'vis just don't throw something (rock, wood) in Scorpion's rotors from higher position ?
This is for me also movie of lost opportunities, sadly :( It just could easily be trilogy: - part 1: Jake&his brother story, meeting Pandora, brother dies - part 2: leaving for Pandora, knowing Avatar program, company destroys tree for Navi's - part 3: Jake learning days & helping Navis to win the war for Pandora
Well, at the end, the notes: for technical perfection: 10/10. for plot & story: 6/10. All in all...strong 8/10 is fair, I believe.
For this money & resources - JAMES, YOU COULD DONE IT MUCH, MUCH BETTER !
In this movie I just miss enthusiasm & feelings of Peter Jackson's type, when he was making Lord of the Rings...
