Groundbreaking CGI, however story lets it down

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2011)

I think this is one of those movies you have never seen before regarding the stunning CGI, artwork, creation of a new world etc. but seen so many times regarding the storyline. The film technology evolved! The acting is very good, however the storyline just lets it down big time. I have watched the film several times just for the special effects and ground breaking CGI as it is worth it for it alone. However the storyline is at best average. I wish Cameron had employed top storytellers as to come up with better storyline to match its stunning graphics. The story would be fine for an average movie, but this was by no means to be one of those summer blockbusters that could do with average storyline, this desperately needed something better.
It is a shame because the world he created in this film is amazing and a lot of people are said to have gotten depressed for not being able to experience the colorful world with new species and unique trees once the film is over. Although the film was nominated for Oscars it didn't do well. I feel it would deserve one at least for the fantastic CGI and VFX as it has never been done before on this scale.
