Aliens Good, Humans Bad

Rating: 4/10 (20 February 2010)

Just saw Avatar and overall, I liked it. There were some logic errors and plot holes, but they weren't too bad. The main plot was far from original and somewhat depressing; Good Natives get forced to relocate by Bad White Men. The subplot about the connection the natives had with nature and their animals was very interesting.
Pros: 1) CGI - Absolutely beautiful and imaginative. 2) Technology - Very cool and imaginative. 3) Sub Plot - Nature is Cool, lets not destroy it. 4) Acting - Sigourney Weaver (Good) / Stephen Lang (Very Good). 5) Action sequences quite good. Not too ADD. 6) Relationships and Chemistry were well developed. 7) Excellent Creature and Character designs. 8) Inspires the imagination and a desire to explore. 9) Good running time. 10) "Good Guys" win.
Cons: 1) CGI - Way over animated and too Walt Disney. 2) Technology - Borrowed from movies like Aliens and NOT advanced enough. 3) Main Plot - Dances with Wolves meet the Smurfs, only more depressing. 4) Acting - Sam Worthington (Wooden) / Zoe Saldana (Over Acted). 5) Unobtainium - Wanted a better explanation of it's value, that would better justify a war with an alien race. Also, dumbest name ever for a rare mineral, even if James Cameron was making a joke. 6) Individual Character development was limited. 7) Smoking in a future Science Lab. 8) Questionable military ground tactics. 9) Feelings of hopelessness for the Human Race. 10) Humans are the "Bad Guys".
