Film Review: Avatar (2009)
Avatar is a hybrid sci-fi, hero-going-native film with audacious, blazing, state of the art CGI and 3-D effects. Director James Cameron has created a film with the earmarks of the future all over it. Constantly upping the eye-candy currency, the story, at times, becomes a non-issue. Much like the action movies of decades past, stuff gets blown up and the viewer literally wants to reach out and touch what is going on during certain scenes. After the film’s CGI brilliance becomes a normality and the viewer adjust to it, their attention diverts to the meat of the movie, the story. Unfortunately for Avatar, after gorging themselves on its visuals, the viewer may want a story equally as impressive. They will not find it with Avatar. In Avatar’s defense, there are not many films whose storylines are up to the task of matching Avatar’s visuals. In that respect, Avatar shoots itself in the foot, bearing its own weight and floundering when it comes time for exposition.
Adding to the chorus of semi-harmonious diatribes about how Avatar is Dances with Wolves-lite, the viewer has seen the characters realized in Avatar far better before. The characters in Avatar are generic representations of many characters found with the territories of Dances with Wolves’ characters, but without depth. They are as interchangeable as the characters in Event Horizon. Read More
