Where is Chuck's Review of Avatar?
I was hoping Chuck would post his Avatar review by now, but in its absence, I'll plow ahead.
After more than 10 years, James Cameron (The Terminator, Titanic) returns to the director’s chair in this visual feast of a film that combines live action with CGI so seamlessly that it lives up to the techno-hype. And there has been quite a bit of hype, indeed.
The story is simple: mankind goes to far off planet to rob it of its precious natural resources. Primitive alien people stand in the way. Mankind must wipe out primitive people. Good man comes to the rescue and saves the day.
Heavy-handed? Maybe. Culturally and environmentally relevant? Sure. Where this film succeeds visually, it lacks in character and in its very simple and uninspired storytelling. And aside from Sigorney Weaver, Avatar sports a cast that is merely adequate. Still, in 3D, Avatar is not something to be missed. See it.
