There's little to complain about in terms of the look of the movie. It is visually arresting, especially in 3D. But the plot and characters are dull and predictable. I cant help but think of Aliens 2, where all of the marines had distinct characters and we cared about their outcomes. But in Avatar do we care about any of these characters including the main character? Not so much.
I did enjoy Weaver who also seemed to have the most dialog to work with. In fact I really wanted much more dialog in this film and Weaver herself in more scenes. What we get instead are several genuinely enthralling action scenes and a whole cartload of hokey plot. Would I see the sequel? Sure, but for the effects only.
