Avatar, Blah-vatar

Possibly the biggest disappointment of the year. Apart from the special effects which were astounding, what does James Cameron mean by spewing out such an awful cliché of a movie? We’ve met the storyline as early as Pocahontas, did we have to get a rerun for the zillionth time? There was a couple sitting next to me in the theatre who walked out after 15 minutes. That’s all it takes to know you’ve been suckered.
The only thing I admired was the way women were on absolutely equal terms as the men on this mythical planet; now that is something that hasn’t been done before. But by the time Sam Worthington was transmuted into his avatar (oh, puh-leeze), it was all I could do to keep my breakfast down.
James, honey, you need to get back underwater… or get the water out of your ears.
