Movie: "AVATAR" (2009)

Good fairy-tale of 21st century (in my childhood I was so impressed by all that clay monsters - just remember "Clash of the Titans" of 1981) and look at this - great! We thought "The Lord of the Rings"is apotheosis of CG movie...No, Avatar did all that frodos and company.

Liked: Sigourney Weaver, who was at the beginning of this sort of movies starring in "Alien", was offered to play blue monster in this movie in 2009 - liked the fact itself. Liked main heroine - her facial expressions and gestures are truly alive (beautiful and wild - Pocahontas of SF movie as my friend said). Also monsters appearing in this film are something - each of them is mixture of animal, bird and exotic insect in one...
Didn't like: but if you imagine it all played by old clay monsters of 80s, you`ll find that the plot itself is very typical, very-very typical for Hollywood movies (I think TITANIC by the same director James Cameron made viewers feel more strong feelings and made think more, than his new work).
Nevertheless, remember - don`t kill fluorescent insects - they may be sacred spirits!

Yeah, the story was very predictable - the good conquers the evil but I think I would be very disappointed if it was otherwise. By the way, go to the http://southparkstudios.com and watch season 13th episode about Avatar - it's hilarious! ^-^
