Film: Avatar by James Cameron

Went to see this film at a 3D screening. It had had mixed reviews, but had heard lots about it. So I was keen to see if Cameron had pulled off something special or blown the big budget.

I'm pleased to say it was a great film to watch. Very immersive and a reasonably good plot. It felt like a cross between Aliens, Titanic, and Wall Street.

In some ways it is a film within a film, with the Na'vi creatures, scenery and then the back at base shots distinct. The final scenes bring the two together well.

The 3D effects are great too, but do not take over the film which shows they have been used just right.

9/10
