Six weeks after its release and I was still sat in a packed cinema. Avatar is definitely striking a chord with pretty much everyone and I find it funny that no film has achieved this level of popularity since Cameron’s last movie all those years ago. It seems that simple sweeping narrative strokes are back in.
I still have major problems with it (the dialogue is ropey for the most part, it’s far too long, the score is derivative on an intrusive level and there are still moments that are embarrassingly cheesy) but on the whole I had better experience this time. I was able to forgive its faults, temporarily at least, and just go with it.
Not sold completely, but enough to realise I may have initially been a tad harsh.
4/5
