Like many of you I saw 'Avatar' this weekend. I must first say movies by James Cameron are hit and miss for me. I hated EVERY SINGLE THING about 'Titanic'. I did however love 'Terminator 2', 'The Abyss' and 'Aliens'. I also loved 'Avatar'.
You can read in almost any review of the film the beauty of the 3D, the amazing story and script. The wonderful performances (to me the highlight being Zoe Saldana). I will just add I loved seeing Sigourney Weaver on screen again, I loved Sam Worthington and I loved hearing one my favorite actress's of all time CCH Pounder. (there is just something special about her).
The movie said so much. Of course being a James Cameron film it said it about half hour more than was required. But... I understand why he did not want to edit anything more out. As much as I loved the movie I wish it had left me hopeful. I left feeling sad. Feeling sad that there is so little 'human' left in the human race. We have become such a greedy selfish bunch haven't we. 'Avatar' is of course science fiction. 'Avatar' is also sadly very real.
