Jim Cameron's first film in 14 years sees humans raping a moon and indigenous tribes fighting back. You can pretty much guess the rest.

While the story won't grab you or throw up any surprises, the visuals will astound. Pandora, aforementioned moon, is a wholly, brilliantly and beautifully rendered world. And while all of it is rendered, you accept this in the way you accept a cartoon so the unreality of it never jars.

Even the long running time didn't bother me and I watched from 11:30 pm to 2 am. It doesn't need to be that long but doesn't suffer for it.

A highly entertaining romp with plenty of spectacle that i'd recommend to anyone wanting to switch off for a while. The 3D is also exellent but I'm still not certain it's any more than a fun gimmick.
