Visually stunning, but the plot was so predictable it had no tension, for me.

Such a good movie. The revolution and first to be shown to the pubic in realD3D. the storyline is cliche but the truth of the matter is that if you want to go see a movie with great story go see inception or Schindler's List or something. But if you want graphics that will blow your socks off and a wish to go join these evolved beings on their planet then come see this movie!

First half is terrific, aided by astonishing visual design and exciting action sequences, but it goes to pieces as the story turns 'serious' and the screenplay falls victim to director-writer Cameron's usual juvenile and pretentious philosophical moments, ultimately becoming overblown and heavy handed, especially in the cartoon villainy of Colonel Quaritch (Lang). Weaver is the standout in the cast, delivering a fine performance, and Saldana has some good moments. Ultimately an enjoyable ride.

First 3d film i ever saw. Enjoyed it tons, however, as huge sci-fi geek, I actually did not like the indigenous aliens.

If you're looking for amazing graphical effects - go for it! Other than that it's a cliché feast.

I give it 3 for the dimensions it displayed

Efeitos especiais excelentes, fotografia excelente, roteiro... bem, é legal, mas pocahontas já tinha feito isso, um bom filme, podia ser O filme.

Nothing to write home about. Who cares about CGI when movies like "The Fall" are being made without it? Has a cliched plot and a lazily constructed world. This took 18 years to become fully conceived and it sucks. Oh well.

I know, I know, ripped off from everything else forever, blah blah blah. I got sucked in anyway.

Everyone is aware by now that Avatar's story is similar to that of Dances with Wolves. Pointing this out does not make you observant and insightful, and it certainly isn't a criticism against Avatar, so can we all please just stop doing so. It's not perfect but it's a great film, no matter to what it bears similarities.

Excellent film, but the plot is too predictable, and the characters too obvious.

In my mind, Avatar was definitely worth a watch, possibly even another in the very near future. Its story isn't complex, but it doesn't really need to be. The film is all about its visuals, which are stunning. Even when nothing much is happening on-screen, you will still want to look just because of how beautiful the scenery is. Also impressive is how well the Na'vi are animated, proving that good motion capture is now only limited by time commitment, not by technology.

Like Pocahontas, one additional point for effects...

Congratulations James Cameron, you can hire a world class special effects team. Now go away and try to remember how to make a movie you incompetent hack.

Undeserving of all the praise its gotten. Its not that damn hard to film pochahantas in 3-D with cat people.

Good visualisation but weak storytelling.
