I went to see the 3D version of Avatar, last night. There isn't that much to say about the movie that hasn't been said before. Yes, its visual effects, 3D rendering, the details of the Pandora world (the land of the Nav'i - the aliens portrayed in the movie) are superb, awesome and <insert another flattering adjective here>. But that's not a surprise considering the time and money that has been invested in it. What's the point of spending this much time and money on a movie and then deliver such a cliché-based storyline? It's kind of annoying that something that could be considered as a reference for years to come (visual-effects-wise) is totally ruined by a script that basically is "Pocahontas meets Dances With Wolves, on Pandora". Bottom line: go see it, it's a visual experience worth going through, but don't expect any more than that. |
