I will just start by saying that I loved this file. Visually it was stunning, story wise it was moving, and it was certainly long enough. What would you expect from the most expensive film ever made. The animation is flawless, throughout the entire affair. Normally the CGI sequences seem tacked on in films, or don't blend very well. However not in this one. Seeing as the CGI is the main part it has worked very well. Story wise I gain the impression that it is based on the plight of the Native Americans. There is a very wild west, tribal feel to the entire film, which I personally liked. All in all I believe it to be a great film, and certainly a must see.
Overall what I think caught my eye the most was certainly the CGI elements. The movie and characters, as concepts, were thought us over 10 years ago by James Cameron, however the technology at the time was not able to recreate the characters to his liking. Originally the characters fell into a problem known as the uncanny valley hypothesis. This is the term used to describe a persons reaction to the life like looks of something. It is known as the uncanny valley as the shape of the graph looks like a valley in shape form. The more lifelike the CGI models in Avatar, the more engaged the audience would be, thus Cameron waited until the technology caught up. This film is a clear indication as to how far the animation world had come in the past decade. The characters are so detailed that you almost feel they are alive, the scenery so vivid that you feel like you are actually on Pandora.
