The praise is clearly from the technology aspect, most of it anyway. Hardly anybody is hyping it because of the story lol

Won't be remembered as a classic like Aliens, T1, T2. However it will be remembered for its progression in Technology. Other then that the Story is just a standard Going Native, just within the future and involving aliens.I liked it, and its On par with his others in terms of Effects, Camera Work, and style (Action scenes only). Its done in a very Artsy way, to impose feeling within the world. However It did get Generic at times via The Usual Military evil/Corporation evil IE They just DID stuff without real thought. Now if they made it so the Corporation and Military were in need of what ever it was to Save Humanity or something, it would make it deeper, Instead of a generic payday.
Also yes, its hyped up. People said he got passed the Hulk Syndrome IE Once the Character Changed no one could connect and was considered innovated. However District 9 Came out Earlier, and the Ability to connect to the Prawns was clearly express in various reviews. So how come Cameron gets the gold???
Anyways, dope film. Not going to be groundbreaking, but its better then most of the shit that's out there. Like Taratino, Cameron decided to Genre blend with this film. Taking a generic "going native" story, complied with Space, Sci-fi and wicked CGI (that's literally seemless, despite the fact you know it is) and basing if of previous conflicts (Slavery, Native Americans, and Corporate greed, and Military destruction) It was good.
But fuck the fags who over hyping it. Only groundbreaking element was the Visuals, and the Cameras invented for it. '
Only Camera Work that really seemed Generic was the Slow-Mo when they are getting arrested. lol I mean damn, he must of been watching Black Hawk down or something. 1 montage would of been ok, but he did it like 3 times. :/

I never expected it to be better than District 9. Of course I don't think any of Cameron's films are as good as D9.

story is good man. It fits the kinda movie, i wouldn't expect a English Patient type of love story or a twisted plot like fight club in a SF movie. Plus the universe is so immense and detailed there was no place in this movie for a complicated story. Maybe they could had gone the matrix 2and 3 way but i hated that i prefer a more simple story to established the license. I'm tired of people not liking something of such little detail, it's not like the movie is completely wack, it's just a simple and efficient story.
I can make the difference between a blockbuster and a repertoire movie and still like em both for what they are. One of my favorite movie, predator, has a scenario that fits on a stamp and i still dont give a shit, it's good for what it is, a pure dose action and schwarzy's makin funny macho face while firing his gun with his arms all pumped up.

How much I like D9. I'm a huge Aliens and T1 fan, and T2 I'll admit might be one of the best action films ever. I just really liked D9 as a film.
