James Cameron has created something that stands out among some of the best films of its kind. The action, story, acting, and score are unique and hold together magnificently. Everything is just perfect and entertaining throughout the whole film all the while with its 2 hours and 40 minutes runtime. It is worth every sci-fi fan's attention this film is that good. He knocks it out of the park and still remains my favorite sci-fi film of all time.
The cast is just as amazing as you would expect. The film stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana alongside Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Giovanni Ribisi. The emotional dedication of each cast member is phenomenal and they bring it all out in the movie. The story is carried out flawlessly by them and it is cause for excitement. I have seen a whole bunch of sci-fi films with star-studded ensembles but nothing quite compares to the awesomeness of this cast.
Scoring this sci-fi epic is the late and frequent collaborator of Cameron, James Horner. Horner created a score that is as emotionally riveting and unique as the film itself. This score makes the film just as magical as the film overall with its unique sounds.
There is nothing like this. The film has remained one of cinema's most iconic science-fiction films since its release. And since then, it has not lost its spark of entertainment and its impact on cinema. It set the standard for science-fiction films and has become my definition of what a sci-fi movie should be. It will not lose its touch among cinemas' best science-fiction movies of all time.
