DVD review: Avatar

There is no 3D version on either DVD or Blu-ray planned for the near future but there will be a director's cut out in the autumn. For now, a 2D version still feels like an event without that third dimension. It's very much a James Cameron movie, for better and worse. The director is brilliant at bringing a world to life and while I've seen the plot summarised accurately as Dances With Wolves in space, its visual splendours are many. But Cameron movies come with his own dialogue so it's only the visuals that stay with you and you sometimes feel bludgeoned with his none too original green, antiwar message writ large.
