If you're looking for an original story or anything else aside CGI - look elsewhere

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2010)

This movie is long, predictable and boring in the long run, although it might entertain you with its incapability of presenting an alien world. How to create an original forest creature? Mix a rhino with a hammerhead shark and make it roar like an elephant. An original horse? Add 2 front legs more. An original alien race? Tall, blue, with a flat nose and a tail.
Besides, all the time I had an impression I had seen all of this somewhere else. A white civilized man comes to a primitive tribe and falls in love with chief's daughter - Pocahontas. Sigourney Weaver examines some creatures in the jungle and fights with human greed but is killed in the end - Gorillas in the Mist. A primitive tribe defeats armed troops and two-legged walking robots in a forest battle - Return of the Jedi. In order to defeat a common enemy all the peoples are united including unmatched riders from the plains - Lord of the Rings. A flying machine can be shot down with a bow - Rambo 2.
All in all, Avatar is but an old dinner refried with a 3D sprinkle. It looks nice but is tasteless.
