I find it very interesting...

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2010)

Interesting that the reactions of how many people consider this film an "instant classic" and a groundbreaking film. And how there is a completely different camp of viewers that sees Avatar as merely a film with good special effects but a weak plot/storyline and a film that borrow ideas from other great films (such as "dances with wolves" and "the matrix").
I'm also in the "I can't believe people are so gaga about this movie." camp. To be fair, i have to say i enjoyed the special effects. But in no way would I consider this a film that will stand the test of time (Like Star Wars, or Aliens, or The Matrix) I consider this a decent film that would seem awful plain (and not very good) without all the CGI.
I rate Avatar a 7 because of its special effects but it only gets 2.5 for the story.
