Movie #85 "Avatar" was a disappointment to me. The first 90 minutes of the film I thought could rival 2001: A space Odyssey --- wonderfully creative, beautifully photographed, a story that appeared worthy of all the "whoopla" ----and then the film took a turn; it went along the lines of all action flicks to the big "shoot-emup" testosterone conclusion. In fact, the last 30 minutes crossed the "stupid line"for me, and because the film had started out so well, it was a disappointment. So I'm left recommending it for the special effects and the photography, and there was so much more to Cameron's other films like "Titanic" and the "Abyss", both films I'd give a 5 to for the story, as well. UInfortunately, it was more like "True Lies" and left me cold, but in awe of the technology.
Average rating: 4.35
I gave it a 4
