Hyped, amazing graphics

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2013)

The movie of the year 2009...so I thought this must be good. But when the movie started I already had a bad feeling. Flat and stereotype characters. The damaged hero who can do what nobody else could do, not even the natives, the stupid military man, the commercial leader of the outpost, the reasonable scientist who knows better but is not believed, the "good" natives with their holy secrets. Come on people, we are in the 21th century, movie making is over 100 year's old and we can not come up with anything better than that for a great movie? OK I admit the graphics blew me away, they are beautiful. For that reason alone this movie earns some points. But a movie is not just about nice pictures. It is also about story. Without a decend story a movie becomes nothing, a facade. It is a such a waste of the beautiful effects.
And so the time watching this is also wasted
