Was easy to follow, wheelchair bound hero gets the change to control an engineered avatar body on an alien world and goes from helping the corporate mercs to fighting them when he sees the real cost of what is happening.  whistle:

The whole film was absolutely gorgeous, watching the 3D version blew me away completely. I can see why Cameron waited so long before he started production, the technology to create what he had in mind has only just caught up to his imagination.

I hate to say this BM but you really need to see this on a big screen in 3D. Watching it at the minema isnt going to have the same effect

OK. Proper report.

As with most James Cameron films since T2 this suffers from predictable plot, wooden dialogue, 2 dimensional characters and and a somewhat tedious 'message'

None of this matters.

What you are left with is a glimpse of the way cinema will be viewed in the future.

The film gives a jaw dropping view of what talented and imaginative filmmakers can do given the technology and money to stretch themselves.

Go and see the 3D version at the pictures. You will not regret the price of the ticket.

GM stylee review: No shagging (except tail mingling that will arouse tree huggers the world over) loads of explosions and bright colours. Sigourney Weaver still looks great and she must be about 85.  eyes:

Wot u on about? I wrote 3D innit?

2D characterization is a different thing. As in out of the Hollywood stock character cupboard.

I see I should write movie reviews for 'The Times' rather than the 'The Sun'.  noooo:
