ONLY the kids were all right

The acting was quite good - especially Annette Bening, and Mia Wasikowska.
The script was fairly good. The direction was just fair.
The editing was not up to expectations - I would say bordering on poor.
The sets, camera work, lighting, sound, and costuming/makeup were good.
It was a fairly good movie which moved too slowly and awkwardly at times. The attraction between Ruffalo's and Moore's characters was baffling. The kids were the most well-adjusted, mature, thoughtful, non-judgmental, well-behaved kids I have ever seen. I didn't believe they were real.

No, I do not recommend this movie.

Action minus Chemistry=Boring!

I am a moviegoer with varied interests. I like romance, drama, comedy, fantasy, and action. As long as the story and characters involve me and make me care what happens, even if it's just for fun, I'm in.
From the first frame of this film, I did not care about the story, the characters, the outcome. All I wanted was for this movie to end.
The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Mos Def in "16 Blocks" was many times more engrossing than it was between Diaz and Cruise. The chemistry between Big and Carrie in the Sex & The City 1 and 2 was much more interesting than it was in this movie between these two huge stars. You can have all the CGI in the world, and it amounts to nothing but noise and lights if there is no "juice". This film does not have it. I know they tried, but they missed.
(And I like Mr. Mangold's earlier work.)

I really enjoyed this movie experience. I was kept interested, involved, and committed to the story and the characters throughout. The CGI, or whatever it's called now, was wonderful, esp
ecially the flying sequences. Breathtaking !
The Pandora people were well-conceived, as was the natural world they lived in. One tiny
caveat would be some of the dialogue. It was
somewhat simplistic. However, it may have been just as well, since there was so much to experience visually.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Moody, but not scary.

Mr. Scorsese creates a film noir mood, reminiscent of the 50's, and well detailed in execution. All in all, the sets were very well done.( However, I did have a problem with the Lighthouse.: All that metal was somehow lost on me ) I felt my attention wandering
somewhere in the middle. Cast was great. DiCaprio does it again: Tortured, confused, clever, but not too smart. My emotional response was sad ,rather than scared. A good film, just not a great Scorsese film.
