Now, seriously. Its impressive how Cameron managed to pick a very cliché plot, obvious dialogues, a predictable development, and make something so wondrously involving.
And with a pretty old formula. It was like visiting my childhood back at the nineties, but with much more digital technology :]
Actually, before the half of the movie I even forgot about the special effects. First, because its easier to believe that Cameron went off to another planet to shoot footage than remember that Pandoras fauna and flora (with creatures and places worthy of Hayao Miyazakis imagination) are CGI. And second, because before I knew, I was absorbed by the story.
Its a quite nostalgic storytelling, with a non-21st Century spirit. Hard to believe that it was released in the edge of a decade that, in terms of sci-fi movies, began with Minority Report and closed with District 9.
By the way, I must say that District 9 is more original, more bold and more intelligent than Avatar. On other hand, Avatar is much more emotional, captivating and beautiful than District 9. Two different poles of sci-fi movies, and curiously, one using an innovating language with traditional effects, and the other being an old story with ultra-modern technology.
And yeah, I want both films to have sequels ready for yesterday~
