2009
Director: James Cameron
Key Elements: Concept - Visual
Review:
*Sigh* …Avatar.
James Cameron did something VISUALLY AMAZING here. Creating his OWN 3-D technology, he presented us with an on-screen world unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The effect this new technology created for its viewers was staggering and beautiful.
…What a pity he didn’t put as much effort into finding a worthy story to carry his new technology.
Some have compared the plot to Dances With Wolves; others to Pocahontas. To me it’s nearly an identical retelling of Fern Gully. No matter which movie it makes you think of most, it WILL make you think of another movie. Because you’ve seen this one before – probably more than once. While the visual effects are new, the story has already been told over and over again.
So… It was worth seeing once, if only for the visual effects. But the lame story nearly nullified any enjoyment I might have taken from the experience overall.
