Stunning but a scene-for-scene copy

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2009)

This movie has the best special effects I've ever seen, or for that matter that anyone has ever seen. The entire creation of a world seems believable (except for maybe floating mountains) and the acting/voice-acting is great. I still would watch this film over and over again. But will it "change movies forever?" Nope.
While new movies may take Cameron's effects, they will not take anything else. This movie is a copy of so many films, and almost a scene-for-scene copy of the Last Samurai. I don't know how this can be the "best movie of the last thirty years" or even win this year's Oscar if it copied the exact plot line of The Last Samurai and was very similar to other movies. It will probably get 4 or 5 Oscars and probably get nominated in the new ten picture nomination bracket, but I would be very surprised if it won.
