Director James Cameron returns after a long absence and delivers a spectacular extravaganza with mind blowing 3D effects that has come here to stay. The story about a paraplegic marine is sent to a distant planet to bond with the natives, so that a big corporation and its military can exploit the natural resources at the cost of destroying everything that comes in their way. Nothing new on the story front which is simple enough that has been done before and better but the story's just an excuse to get on the ride which is the film all about. What Cameron lacks as a writer, he makes it up with his usual finesse as a director who has always been ahead of everybody else in Hollywood by opening the Pandora's Box of visual effects that will become the new standard for Hollywood big blockbusters that has dominated the global box office. The cast and crew help Cameron with his vision that allows him to reunite with his "Aliens" star Sigourney Weaver who's a welcome sight and Sam Worthington has everything to become the next big action star.
