Special effects 10, movie 4

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2009)

I saw avatar last night in 3D. It was an unique experience. They really worked a lot on details and created an interesting "world". The world of Pandora. I admit it was interesting in every way, sitting there in the cinema and enjoying those artificial landscapes.
But about the storyline and characters I was completely disappointed. The movie was full of stereotypes: "the bad stupid army guy", "the scientist who only cares about preserving and research", etc. The storyline isn't new, it's just copied after other old movies. And after the final battle, after the aliens won and send the remaining humans back to Earth, the movie let's you the impression that everything is heading for everlasting peace. I considered that stupid since planet Earth was "dieing" (which also annoyed me cause they didn't say why or at what is that mineral good for). Humans will return and the main character must know that pretty well, so why everything seems like "and they lived happily ever after"? .
And by the way, the humans with all that advanced technology, couldn't just send a nuke from that base or from orbit at the coordinates of that "Life Tree" ? Or if not a nuke, then a remote controlled rocket or something. This technology is available in our days, but somehow it seems that it isn't 140 years in the future or so.
So overall, just like I said in the summary: special effects 10, movie 4...
