Reviewnice use of sfx of course. however, the terminator isn’t a great film because of cameron’s use of sfx which are fairly commonplace now, rather it’s great because of the timelessness and execution of the story and characters. avatar has a bit of that, but a lot of the characters are lost because it’s essentially an animated film. it’s also essentially a mix of the matrix and dances with wolves. also wasn’t a huge fan of the simplicity of the characters – all the army guys are gun-toting dumbasses and almost all the aliens are peace loving nature lovers. the shades of gray just weren’t well developed and other than the sfx it wasn’t anything new. watched it in 3d and most if it was a bit out of focus; possibly a bad projector.
