Atrociously poor

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2015)

Having seen the trailers when this film came out in 2009, I decided that it would probably be all CGI & little else, so I didn't bother watching it. Everyone said it was good, so recently I bought the DVD. The film came down to my expectations!
The plot is thin & weak and basically that of European settlers colonising America in the 18th & 19th centuries & ignoring the rights of the Native American Indians.
The character of Grace was largely insignificant and I can only assume that casting Sigourney Weaver in the part was to ensure it had at least 1 well known name.
Colonel Quaritch was ridiculously and excessively gung ho.
Parker Selfridge was ludicrously 'the company man' who doesn't give a monkeys about the natives.
The transfer of Jake Sully's 'brain' into that of a native was somewhat pathetic, but predicable as how else would he be able to live happily ever after with Neytiri if they were different species?
Given a choice of watching Avatar 2 and having a hedgehog inserted backwards, it's going to be 'Hello Spiny Norman' every time.
