Force does not pray to God
10 January 2010
"Force does not pray to God" With this old saying among my people I'll start this review. Two words: James, Cameron. I could pretty end it here. When I first heard this movie was directed by him, I immediatelly new what to expect. Nothing less. And I was again surprised. This man did it again, not just to expected, but beyond expected. Go and see it in the theater, because this IS the movie especcially made FOR theaters and make your own jugement. You can expect everything.

Great story (one element partially reminds me of a small Reflexive Entertainement's game 'Great Tree', where I was part of a beta-testing team), great cast/characters, great colors. Rare movie in which you won't be on humans side who glorify power, metal and machinery (weaponry), but always seems to forget where the real strength lays in.

Post-edit: After 2 days I watched FernGully and there is a strong similarity with Avatar, up to the limit where this movie originality is seriously disputed, so I lowered my vote score. Never the less, this does not make this movie a bad one, it is still great for everyone, especially SciFi fans.
