Pretty Pictures & That's About All

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2009)

The film looked beautiful, you can't really deny that. Cameron has created a fantastic world to visually immerse yourself in. But that's about as far as it goes. The storyline is totally predictable, and as a result totally un enjoyable.
The old song of soldier getting captured/saved by natives, coming to love their customs and ways, then defending their way of life is a very old one. Dances With Wolves, and The Last Samurai all did it better that Avatar. The bad guys are as stereotype as they come, the hero isn't a particularly good actor with the emotional range of Stephen Segal.
This film has lots of pretty pictures, and that's about all.
