"In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture"
So, the big blockbuster of the year from the man who brought use Aliens and Titanic. The movie that many people have been looking forward to for years. Does it live up to it's billing? Yes, and some.
I really cannot judge this in terms of a film. It's not one in the conventional sense. Its a new form of entertainment. It didn't feel like being in a film but being at an entertainment event. The plot is basic to say the least. The acting is passable. The 3D was used brilliantly and was more perspective than intrusion. It looks incredible. It defied my brain at times to actually comprehend everything that was happening on screen.
Worthington has impressed me since seeing the latest Terminator film (where he blew Bale off the screen) and he's solid in this. The craft behind this is unfathomable. Cameron has obviously been looking East and the influence of Hayao Miyazaki is strong here with the idea of living forests and saving the environment. Outstanding.
8/10
