It's engaging, dazzling, and warm and fuzzy. I can understand how it received a four star rating on the whole, as it isn't a masterpiece along the lines of Gone with the Wind. I liked it quite a bit, though, and I thought the storyline was strong. A few of the scenes involving flying on the back of giant reptiles are inspiring, and the actors all handled their roles well. It may not be a 5 star production to most, but I can't think of a single way they could have improved this one. Visually rich, mostly entertaining, but cliché and somewhat cartoonish September 1, 2010 Little Me (Katy, Texas, USA) 0 out of 4 found this review helpful Avatar is one of those bi-polar films that people either love or hate, thumbs up or thumbs down, 1-star or 5-stars. In general, I agree with the low-star crowd, although positive reviews are comfortably in the majority. Avatar has some spectacular visuals but they are not enough to carry the movie to greatness. I actually got bored during one of the more slack parts of the film in the Na'vi camp with the lame dialog. It was like watching a bad movie about American Indians who had to decide what to do with the cowboy in their custody. Here's another small peeve of mine: There's nothing in the water. At one point, the main character jumps off a cliff into the water below to escape a fearsome jungle predator. But there's nothing in the water, no fish, no snakes, no leeches, no Pandora alligators or amphibians, no beasties of any kind. The tail hookups are also a bit ridiculous with their universal plug-n-play capabilities. And finally, the tree of life left me underwhelmed. Apparently it's a kind and gentle version of the planet's Borg nerve center. Avatar is a movie that you certainly should watch at least once and then decide where your sensibilities fall. It's mostly entertaining but says nothing new or significant about the human condition, love, the environment, our place in the universe, culture, or technology. The film certainly has a message. It's just not new or unique in any way. I don't think it's a classic or even an important film. (But don't take my word for it. Read the selection of comments from Rotten Tomatoes that I added to this review.) In summary: Lush visuals and some nicely done special effects, but recycled plot lines, mediocre acting, and hokey dialog. It's like a dinner party with good appetizers and tasty desserts, but a dry meat dish and overcooked vegetables. The only thing I'd really like to see more of is Michelle Rodriquez. She's the warrior babe with a heart. That's my kind of cliché. Review August 31, 2010 67gracey 0 out of 10 found this review helpful I have not recieved this item yet. My money has been taken out off my account but not record of where product is. Not very happy about this with this being my first time buying off of amazon. Not planning on buying anything in the future. Avatar two disc set August 30, 2010 lmepro 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Excellent movie. One of my favorites, great cinematography and message. I enjoy the two disc set, one in Blu-Ray and one regular DVD so I can enjoy watching it on either player. High-quality playback August 30, 2010 Kevin Irwin (New Jersey) At 29Mbps, the Blu-ray disc included in this BD/DVD combo plays back very smoothly. I haven't tried the DVD yet, but since I assume most people are getting this for the BD, I can assure you it works perfectly fine. No special features, which isn't a problem unless you really, really want them. Showing reviews 1-5 of 1577 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...316 Next »
