Not as bad as Waterworld but not much better

OK so everyone told you have to go see Avatar. I waited until the crowds dwindled and went to an afternoon 3d showing. I had high expectations for this film everyone said it was a cinematic masterpiece. They are partly correct it is a (piece).
I have enjoyed many of Camerons films the early terminator films were great. The Abyss was also one of my favorites. I even enjoyed Titanic. Then we come to Avatar. In short I kept waiting for it to get good, and by the time it did I was so disenchanted I really didn't care. The action was anticlimactic the plot was thin and laced with political undertones "how many films do we really need to take shots at what we are doing in countries over seas I don't go to the movies to see the news in another format I go to escape the world for a little while" Much as we learned during the star wars prequels great special effects don't make a great movie. The actors portrayal of their characters was empty and made you feel as though you were watching any early day of filming and not a final cut. Sam Worthington was more believable as the cyborg Marcus Wright in Terminator Salvation. I enjoyed Sigourney Weavers character in Holes more than that of Grace and the General reminded me of Chip Hazard from Small Soilders. It was a huge disappointment.
