Definitely worth a watch, but not the hype

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2010)

Technically, this film was outstanding. Its the first 3D film i've seen and it didn't let me down. We could attack the shockingly poor dialogue, the unnecessary length, the clichéd plot and the clichéd villains, but you'll have to ignore these flaws if you want to enjoy this film.
This film may well be proof that if you pump enough money into a film it will end up watchable, but its also a great film, with many great moments that have never been seen on the screen before. The 'save the rain forest' is, lets face it, ridiculous and I'm frankly staggered that Cameron decided to use this clichéd plot, he probably thought that the plot was irrelevant considering that the effects were so impressive, he was wrong.
The Dialogue was crinch-worthy and again i'm totally stunned that a director of James Camerons calibre would sink so low. But enough of the negatives, lets look at the positives.
The first and most obvious is the special effects and 3D, the technical side of the film, which is almost mind blowing. The 3D absorbs you into the film in a way I've never seen before, really makes you feel involved, like your actually part of the film. The Na'vi race of Pandora are one of the films finer points, the scenes that involve this incredible race are the finest, The scenery and imagery are nothing short of breathtaking.
An excellent film and a giant leap for film making on the whole
