You know what's hard to get? Unobtanium.

So, Avatar, a long process for a film and here we are, it's out, it's about, and how is it?
Well, most critics agree it's a masterpiece.
Is it?
Well, short answer no, long answer Absolutely not.

15 years to make this?
Well, Cameron clearly spent 5 minutes making a plot, by fingering out 3 films and using their plots, and then 14 years doing 3D and CGI.

The plot is painfully dull, cliched and doesn't even try to regenerate the dying ideas, for a 'gamechanger' it's shit.
The acting, on top of that, is limited to Sam Worthington's unlikeable blah-ness, Sigourney Weaver's unfortunate annoyingness, and two good actors in Stephen Lang as the general, who you root for to kill the Na'Vi and their fucking annoying smugness, and Giovanni Ribisi who has no interest in the indigenous people, instead wants to make money from the 'Unobtanium' in the planet's core.

Unobtanium, that's right, is all the humans want, and the Na'Vi are literally connected to their world, and it's an environmental message played much more subtly in An Inconvenient Truth. The CGI is painfully just better than GI: Joe, the 3D was meh at best, and it never ever tries to be anything more than a 2 and a half hour film about cowboys and indians, however it thinks it's a superior epic.

James Cameron fucked up with his most disappointing, dull, painful film for ages, Titanic was better.
4/10
