Movie: The Last Airbender
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Genre: Fantasy, action, adventure
Starring: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel
Year: 2010
Origin: USA
Summary: The visual component on which this film mostly relies is let down by the bland acting and horrible script. Tread cautiously when contemplating viewing this film.
A live action film based on the hit animation series, the film follows Aang (Ringer), the element bender with the power to control all four elements; air, water, fire and earth. Aang and his company of friends partake in a journey of knowledge whilst the evil firebenders are in hot pursuit.
Unfortunately this film is about as mundane as a wet towel. The main character Aang is portrayed by one of the worst child actors ever conceived. This is ‘complimented’ with companions who are also horrid on screen – pretty much everyone in this film can’t act. The casting is absolutely dreadful.
The only decent thing in this film is the score, by James Newton Howard (The Dark Knight, Michael Clayton, Blood Diamond). Epic at times, it is a refreshing oasis while having to sit through the film. The graphics and audio are quite decent but the visual component of this piece is dragged down by the insipid script.
