Just an average Si-Fi movie

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2010)

Apart from 3D and new technologies that have been used in making this movie, there's really nothing terribly interesting about its story. Some even gone so far to compare Avatar with Matrix which is farcical. I am not sure why the writer/director James Cameron decided to combine today's thinking, 20 million dollar for a kilo of some metal, with such a futuristic story? To me, Avatar is closer to the billion Euro green ticket of 2012 than to Matrix. In 2012, people use mobiles and 'money' even after the collapse of the planet which apparently doesn't mean the collapse of markets and economy! Similarly, in Avatar people will still pay 20 million dollar for a kilo of some metal and fire 20th century rockets which really funny in such a far, really far, future. 5/10 for the 3D content only and sorry for the story.
