Avatar Ratings & Reviews

Adam Kempenaar
It's not just that we've seen the tale before… it's that every aspect of the screenplay is terrible.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Cameron and his artists have so lovingly imagined the moon of Pandora that every shot of the film contains new wonders.

Five hundred million dollars [wasted].
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
Rewatching it with fresh eyes 10 years later, the movie's pluses and minuses both rise into much starker relief. The verdict: It's...fine.
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
In my opinion, Avatar has been hyped beyond the point of forgiveness.
MUBI
Glenn Kenny
Learning your visuals from Jack Kirby is one thing, but too often it sounds like Cameron learned to write dialogue from the guy too.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Overall, Avatar was really about the jaw-dropping visual effects--that's the great thing about it.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The story is just a scaffolding for the world-building. That may make it more of an experience than a movie, but the experience is a fun place to visit.
House Next Door
Simon Abrams
Cameron knows the viewer will recognize Avatar's story from elsewhere, whether as the love affair between John Smith and Pocahontas or almost all of Ferngully and so tries to dazzle the viewer with "shock and awe."

Avatar is a joyous celebration of story craft and the visual possibilities of cinema. Cameron had set his sights on taking the technology of film where no one had gone before. And he delivers. Avatar is stunning. Cameron and Peter Jackson's Weta Digital h

Even with its simplistic plot, Avatar is a stunning achievement in next-level cinematic bravado. Watch it on the biggest screen possible. Prepare to be blown away.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The narrative would be ho-hum without the spectacle. But what spectacle! Avatar is dizzying, enveloping, vertiginous ... I ran out of adjectives an hour into its 161 minutes.

I had the feeling coming out of this movie that I haven't felt since maybe I was eleven years old in 1977 and I saw Star Wars for the first time.

It's a remote-control movie experience, a high-tech "wish you were here" scribbled on a very expensive postcard.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The most-hyped movie of the year just about merits it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
I have seen the future of movies, and it is Avatar.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Cameron and his legion of CGI experts and skilled craftspeople have delivered a lovely, misty, dangerous world.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
It is cool. But all this "change the way you look at films" hype is just that. While Avatar is impressively seamless, you're never fooled. This doesn't look like a documentary film; it looks like a video game.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Pandora is still a good place to park yourself for three hours.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
Not only does Cameron blur the line between reality and CGI, he's at once jingoistic and anti-hawk. Right-wingers will feel welcomed in the first half, the left-brained will be vindicated by the climax.
