Avatar, starring Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Zoe Saldana, takes movie goers into a classic James Cameron adventure. The graphics are unbelievable, and the 3-D experience just adds to the visual beauty of the movie – yet, the plot is another story.

The plot is pretty flat, and predictable. A paraplegic man is somehow in the military despite being in a wheel chair, gets sent to an alien planet, gets turned into an alien and goes crazy after having mobility back in his legs, is forced to spy on the native species of aliens, gets lost because of his excitement of having legs. Aliens capture him, and teach him their alien ways of life, while, at the same time, he is still spying for the military. However, he falls in love with another alien, turns against the military.

Blah, blah, blah.
