It doesn't have a single redeeming feature other than CGI; Pickle and all the Avatar fans have no taste and likely conceal furry tendencies.

The Legendary Troll King
saw August Rush on HBO last night. 8 out of 10. Exquisite. Some GREAT musical sequences and I've never seen Robin Williams play such a good "bad guy"
"Estranged from his parents by circumstance and nudged toward a foster family, a young boy seeks out his long-lost folks and discovers prodigious musical talent in this family-oriented drama from Disco Pigs director Kirsten Sheridan. In the aftermath of a passionate night together above New York's Washington Square, a charismatic Irish guitarist named Louis (Jonothan Rhys-Meyers) and a reserved cellist named Lyla (Keri Russell) are forced apart by fate. Despite the fact that they do not remain together, however, their fleeting union has created something amazing that neither could have ever anticipated -- a baby. Unfortunately, just after the child's birth, the mother is misinformed that the infant has died. Cut to 11 years later, when the child, Evan, is living in a Gotham-area boys' home and has developed an acute ability to listen to the sounds of the outside world -- hoping against all hope that his biological mother and father will turn up to claim him, while those in charge try to encourage him to open himself up to the possibility of adoption. Unduly rejecting these bids, Evan runs away into the city. Out on the streets, the child falls into the clutches of a manipulative, untrustworthy street person named Wizard (Robin Williams), who renames Evan "August Rush" and opens the boy up to the depth and breadth of his own musical talent even as he smells the opportunity to grow rich off of the foundling. Meanwhile, Evan/August's hope persists that he will be reunited with his folks, and Louis and Lyla, unable to forget their initial night of love, feel themselves being drawn back together by fate."

Now why would you throw in a personal attack, in a movie thread?
While the story might not be the most original, the biology and mythology of the planet Pandora likely IS the most original and fully realized alien ecology in movies, and perhaps in fiction.
It's not the technology that made this movie so special to me: but the concepts behind them.
And how you get "furries" out of that mystifies me.

The "concepts" behind the movie were retarded, but I enjoyed it.
It's an action movie, not a new translation of Death and the Compass.

Avatar - 7/10. Would've been lower but I had to admit: if I'd seen it at the age of 12 I'd have loved it. Visually the most stunning thing you'll see for a while, especially in 3D.
Invictus - 6/10. Too long & obvious, but not as bad as Gran Torino. Eastwood should try to be a little less literal.
Sherlock Holmes - 8/10. Hardly terrific, but better than I thought it was going to be.

I saw it yesterday. Ethan Hawke is very attractive, and the movie was certainly entertaining, but I'll have to disagree with your rating and give it 5.7/10. The cure was incredibly predictable, and I just can't buy that it took ten years for somebody to accidentally stumble upon it. They really should've concluded the storyline at the end (just have the victorious soldiers leave the building) but they just had to set up a lame sequel.

This movie was robbed an Oscar in favor of Clint Eastwood's The Unforgiven.
