Believe it or not, this is the first time I've seen this movie.
(87) Avatar (2009): This is the James Cameron film that is now the #1 top grossing film of all time. It ran in theaters for about 9 months. I can't say the film was over-hyped, but it was hyped pretty good. The story, in fact, is very run-of-the-mill "boy meets girl, boy wants girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy wants girl back, boy gets girl back" Hollywood formula film. It was utterly predictable right down to the ending. I applaud Cameron for the technical work. It's pretty cool, but in my estimation its what's wrong with films today. Story is sacrificed for a lot of bells and whistles, and the last time I check story was still king when it comes to making movies.
Anyway, it's doubtful I'd ever recommend this film. It's not that great, and probably should be seen on the big screen.
