Is The Blockbusting Avatar Worth Your Time And Cash?

By Jessica J. Janeson

If you happen to be on of the few people who hasn't seen the blockbuster "Avatar," and are still wondering if it is worth your time and money, let this short article be your guide. I'll give it my honest review, and help you to make an informed decision. Movies are expensive these days, and you don't want to waste your money.

The first positive about the movie is the magnificent special effects. The aliens are so real in this movie, you'd swear they were as real as the guy sitting next to you in the theater. There is no need to suspend your disbelief, or go along with the story. The aliens are just as real as the human actors, and the interaction between them are completely real and believable.

Good point number two. The scenery of the movie is absolutely breathtaking. The mountains, the trees the real and imaginary plants are a beautiful sight to behold. If like nature, then you'll love this movie simply for it's breathtaking display of the natural world on this imaginary alien planet.

Ok, now for the bad points. The plot is fairly predictable, and there are really no surprises. Even the final battle between the good guy and the bad guy is like something out of a comic book movie. The dialogue is unimaginative, and the ideas presented through the plot are nothing new. In fact, if you've ever seen a movie with a good guy versus a bad guy, then you'll likely figure out how this will end.

The second drawback is that some may find this movie a little condescending. The aliens only are able to defeat the bad humans with the help of another human. And as the aliens are clearly metaphorical representations of the Native Americans, this means that the Native Americans can only save themselves with the help of a white guy.

But in the end, the positives clearly out weight the negatives, making this movie well worth watching. We strongly recommend that you see this while it is still in theaters, so you can fully enjoy this stunning visual treat. - 40732
