Dances with Wolves in blue

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2010)

We just have finished watching this movie. According to press and media, another titanic phenomena. Maybe it's me, but what is it that makes Avatar so special? The visual effects are great, the forest of light, well, you'd wish you could be there, but the story line? White meets alien as white gets introduced in their way of living and culture, starts to like it, feels part of it and eventually decides to stay with the new found tribe. This is a very brief summary of the Avatar plot. Now, clear your mind, think of native Americans and read the paragraph again. Kevin Costner all over again....in blue. And as Kevin Costner's colossal, this one is bound to be the big winner in a couple of weeks time. I hope not for its originality in terms of script: there isn't any.
