Despite the fact, that the 3d-technology as well as CGI was on an extremely sophisticated level, everything about that movie was so predictable and simplistic, that it dragged down even the technological advancements, you would like to celebrate. After all it is a good guy-bad guy story of a naive mind (director and script writer). I actually enjoyed the most the first 45 something minutes, where the avatar starts exploring Pandora: The ideas about the forest and their inhabitants were very interesting and reminded me of a show, I have seen on TV about scientific speculations on lifeforms, where one or two parameters were changed in the environment. After that, the movie becomes a nightmare of phrases of good vs evil - only that this time evil is us and not the aliens. If you think, this is the pun about the show, then go ahead and watch it, you won't be disappointed. If you only want to see stunning CGI, please watch it also. If you expect complexity and maturity, go get a hello kitty doll.
