Ferngully and The Last Samurai meet

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2010)

This movie is eye candy and really not much more. Where Lucas and Zemekis(sp?) fail Cameron succeeds I will give him that.Yes this movie is a technical triumph 20 or 30 years from now when we will be watching holograms we will look back and say that this is what started it all. Story wise it isn't very original off the top of my head I can think of many others like it. A Man Called Horse, Dances with Wolves, Ferngully The Last Rainforest and The Last Samurai to name a few.The acting could have been mailed in, passable but nothing great. I'm giving it a seven because of the effects.So the thing I really want to know why the best picture nod, which it will probably win(there is no doubt in my mind that it deserves the technical awards) and the best director nod when there are so many other deserving films out there.
