Denise, Devon, and I went to see James Cameron's Avatar last night, and since I'm still in grading mode, here's the bottom line:
Cinematography: A+
Worldbuilding: B+
Script: C
OVERALL SCORE: B+
( DO NOT click on this unless you're willing to read significant plot spoilers! I'm not kidding... ) I wish Cameron had lavished on Avatar the same care with the script that he lavished on the film's appearance and on building this gorgeous world. The film is well-made, well-acted, and for all its predictability, well worth seeing. So go see it -- if only to view how current CGI can render a fantasy solid and immersive.
That's the real accomplishment of this film.
