Effects: A- ... Story D-

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2009)

OK, let me make it 100% clear that I'm a Cameron fan..Big time. But this film is cliché-heavy as hell....And it has 'by-the-numbers' dialogue that'll make you cringe if you're over 10 yrs old. Like the other negative reviews (of actual substance, not the ones that stoop to racial attacks, honestly, "whigger power-fantasy? a**hole) I have to agree that the story is so unoriginal it borders on B-movie level entertainment with an overblown budget.
Regardless of your politics, this move kinda bites...It lacks any sophistication in the dynamics with the characters...they're just stereotypes and templates for the CGI to dance around...Matrix, Dances with Wolves, Disney flick, and Aliens thrown into a blender with a computer and BAM, you have Avatar...
