good special effects and good use of 3D, but let down by a pretty poor and shallow storyline that was pretty much made predicatable thanks to its trailers, although the average human being could pretty much guess what happens at the end good special effects and good use of 3D, but let down by a pretty poor and shallow storyline that was pretty much made predicatable thanks to its trailers, although the average human being could pretty much guess what happens at the end quickly. Cameron put a lot of effort into this and that needs to be praised but you'd think after making it such a visible specatcle he'd hire decent script writers.… Expand

It was a great movie! The visual effects were stunning, the story was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I'd rather have a complete story go a bit beyond than to have a story that has some major holes in it.

The visual effects were stunning, the story was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I'd rather have a complete story go a bit beyond than to have a story that has some major holes in it. The message was great and the acting/3D universe was, again, amazing. I rarely go to movies in the theaters any more (because it costs so much) but this one will warrant another viewing on the big screen. I saw it in the 3D version and it was definitely worth the extra $3.00. Go and enjoy this Action/War/Love/Sci-Fi Movie, you won't regret it.… Expand

The matrix to me was a better version of 'Dark City', and how many films have there been about Queen Elizabeth? To me, this is a familiar theme done in a different way ' and for that ' it deserves my 100 points. Most stories today can be traced back to a familiar fairytale ' but that shouldn't take away from the film as a standalone project. It's magnificent and it's one of the few films in a long time worth my $12.… Expand

The world they create really makes you want to book your tickets to g...o there. The love between the two main characters is beautiful. The backstory is great, and the storyline progresses well. Some great acting, especially from the woman playing the female alien, using motion capture. It had its flaws. Most notably for me was a lot of cheesy and laughable dialogue. Still, a small criticism for just an astounding movie.… Expand

By far the greatest movie to hit the big screen, my fellow aliens.It will be a long time before any movie comes even close to this one. If you enjoy the concept of "true life", then this is an enlarged bowl of cherries.

I had a very deep skepticism on this movie coming into it. I couldn't possibly think that Cameron can deliver something that would even match - let alone surpass - the hype surrounding it. For over a year, we've been inundated with I had a very deep skepticism on this movie coming into it. I couldn't possibly think that Cameron can deliver something that would even match - let alone surpass - the hype surrounding it. For over a year, we've been inundated with stories about all the crazy technology that had to be invented for this thing. With a budget of $300 million or more, how could it really be worth over a million dollars a minute? Well, now that I've seen it I could put it down as one of the best films of the decade. I will never understand critics who decided to pan this film. Maybe it's spite or resentment, or whatever, but this is one of the most pure examples of movie making we've seen in a long while. Yes, the story doesn't reach too far past what Cameron has attempted in the past but, with such a classic tale, it is even MORE impressive that Cameron can make every minute count. We know what's going to happen. We know where the love interest is and where some of the plot turns are going to take us, but it takes a real master to be able to weave around people's preconceived notions, deliver everything that people expect, and still make it an adventure ride worth taking. Masterfully shot, masterfully edited, masterfully animated and rendered. If you don't like this movie, then you don't like movies.… Expand
