CGI, James Cameron and...nothing

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2010)

I finally got to see the all so acclaimed AVATAR movie. And it was nothing special. I admit, the CGIs were worth every penny, but that's all. Maybe my expectations were to high, but c'mon, this is the guy that made Terminator, The Abyss and Titanic. He has a standard to uphold. I was expecting the story and the action to keep me at the edge of my seat, and... nothing. It actually looked to me like more of a western movie set somewhere into the future. I am sorry, but after seeing it, my only conclusion is that it has its sales only from the fact it has been so hugely promoted that people actually convinced themselves that this actually is that good. I give it a 5 star out of 10 for the effects. If you want to see things go bang go see it, if not stay home.
