I'm speechess that most of your fools are taken in by the PR hype machine. Yes, the 3D is great but you need a story to go with. Not a remake of Dancing With Wolves and Pocohontas.

I dare you to watch this on regular TV again without the 3D glasses that they made us pay three bucks for. What a ripoff. Expand

10 out of 10? Has everyone lost their mind? This film is dreadful. The film may be 3D but the characters are strictly 2D. The storyline got sacrificed for visuals and cannot sustain the running time. The dialogue is laughable. The acting? 10 out of 10? Has everyone lost their mind? This film is dreadful. The film may be 3D but the characters are strictly 2D. The storyline got sacrificed for visuals and cannot sustain the running time. The dialogue is laughable. The acting? Not going to touch that one. James Cameron really should�ve gotten some other people involved in the development of this film. I got so bored l left with well over an hour to go. Save your money. Expand

You have to be kidding. The movie was awful and long. No suspense as the acting was bad. All the fancy colors and sounds were for kids with ADD. Much ado about nothing. Overhyped by the professional shills.

And then enjoyed metal like knives to cut game, and metal post to cook meat in-so superior to stones. As an environmental scientist, Cameron's fantasy sickens me because idiots don't know or even care about facts and the truth. A dangerous, stupid movie. I'll watch "Casablanca" again, instead, because I admire serious scripts - not trash. Expand

One or two of my in-laws INSISTED that the characters in this were REAL (not computer generated real but REAL!!!) That is the type of intellectual hooraying for this gigantic waste of my time that makes me squirm. OK the effects were decent. But I DO NOT watch movies for their effects. The story was adolescent and the "camera work" was marginal at best. Try watching cinema and not a 3d cartoon, you might find your artistic integrity improved. Expand

This movie was an ego show by Cameron, and the only good part was the innovative effects. The story was terrible, and tried WAY too hard to send a message. The acting was garbage, and the world had no depth. Everyone I went to see it with was very excited about it....but half fell asleep in the theater and the rest of us were laughing the whole time at how stupid it was. If the money that it took to make this movie was spent on something productive, we'd be on freaking Mars right now. Sit.kip Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is the most overrated piece of politically correct, anti-American garbage I've ever seen. This movie is about a man who betrays his own country! How is that "heroic" or worthy of admiration???So, it has cool special effects. Whoopty-f***ing-do! I can't believe this piece of crap movie was so beloved by everyone. Apparently, pretty colors and cool explosions are all the typical modern consumer cares about. How sad. Expand

When a person gifted with a reasonable sense of self watch this movie then the positive comments, there is only one comment coming to mind: "I want out of this idiocracy".

Let's be honest, the movie has more plotholes than swiss cheese with the biggest ones being that scientists can create alien bodies with a complete understanding of their biology but can't cure a paraplegic? An army and scientists who can master the biology of an alien race cannot create biological or chemical weapons that can be spread from space?

pass on the rest, it's forgettable.

Awfully clichedyl, horribly acted and scripted and stupidly over-hyped. Also lead to about two weeks of non-stop mindless gibberish from stupid 12 year-olds who seem to think that making a ridiculously high budget immediately makes a film brilliant.

(on a side note why did it look like all the aircraft look like it was ripped out of Halo?)

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN LOBOTAMISED?
Technically good but other than that it was a cowboys vs Indians movie and you know it, I'm just desperately thankful James Cameron's only working on doco's (which I won't have to care about),

The largest andThis is Pocahontas in space, literally look it up, it's the same plot just with different character names and it's in space. Moreover, it has numerous plot holes and makes the natives out to be perfect, when they are not. The largest and most glaring plot hole was the ending, when the spirit of the plant life or something brought in all the wild animals to attack the humans, even when the entirety of the preceding movie explicitly said on numerous occasions that this does NOT happen ever, for any reason. The second being 'Unobtainium', the stupidest sounding plot device ever and a large deposit just happens to be under a tree that the natives live in. Despite the numerous sub-surface mining techniques available, the CEO or whoever decided to just attack the natives for no reason, just to show the contrast between the 'perfect' natives and the 'evil' humans (white people). This movie is anti-colonialism, clearly, but it's so one-sided it's not even funny.

Really, this is just James Cameron's attempt to create his own Fursona. The single most expensive piece of self-insert Mary-sue furry fanfiction ever created, and people treat it like it's some sort of iconic movie.

People think this is good because it's pretty, but once you look past the glamour and see this from an objective perspective, you can see that this is bad. A rip off of Pocahontas. 3-D is a stupid gimmick anyway, they should knock that off.

For reasons so blatantly obvious most people miss it.

And the proof for this is when I entered Khobar, Saudi Arabia I suddenly heard this music, so it belongs to King Salman and he is the one who should be nominated for the Oscar of best original score.

People say it’s a timeless masterpiece, but this is false, if you analyze any masterpiece, you can find substance and originality, as well as personality and charm, this is just fernguly and Pocahontas with 7ft blue men waving their fingers in the audience’s faces screaming “humans bad!!”.
