Jame Cameron can breathe a sigh of relief as his big budget intergalatic flick has won audiences the world over.

Many thought the multi-million pound movie would not live up to the initital hype generated by select preview groups who saw it last summer once released to a global audience.

But luckily for James Cameron it did.

Avatar tells the tale of former marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) who is given a second chance after he becomes disabled. Jake is asked to travel to the jungle-covered world on Pandora to carry-on where his twin brother left off before he died.

Through the use of mentally controlled, homegrown blue aliens Sam and his colleagues must infiltrate the native population of Pandora to win their hearts and minds. Unbeknown to the aliens, their village lies on top of a very rare metal which the army wants to sell for millions.

Sam is ordered to gain their trust and provide strategic information for his bosses so they can extract the metal by force if necessary. However, spending time with the natives allows him a new take on life.

With breath taking graphics and a deeply emotive storyline, Avatar is a movie that is difficult to falter besides the aliens sometimes looking cartoony around the eyes.

Not to be confused with the film adaption of the kid's cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, director James Cameron's Christmas sci-fi is tipped to be one of the biggest movies in years with promises it will launch films into a new era of 3D cinema.

Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully, a soldier who is paralysed from the waist down. Samis offered the chance to regain his feet - but there is a catch. He must travel to the distant world of Pandora and infiltrate an alien society in the guise of his own mind-controlled alien to track down a rare, precious metal which his men want.

But as Sam gets closer to the natives will he change sides?

As the name implies, the movie is set in the not too distant future. The film is based on a significant date in the Mayan calender that the world will end in 2012.

Just when you thought the Disney Pixar shed would be running out of ideas for good films they go ahead and release this little gem.

A film not as hyped as some other previous titles, Up is nevertheless one of the better films to come out of the Pixar stable.

Seventy-eight-year-old Carl feels life has passed him by following the death of his wife. As a youngster he had always dreamed of travelling on an adventures but somehow never quite got round to it.

Following a row that gets out of hand with a construction site worker, it is decided Carl should be sent to a retirment home. However, the old zoo entertainer escapes by turning his home into a flying contraption with balloons.

It is then that he discovers Russell, a young scout he met a few days before clinging to his porch for dear life. Putting up with the ever inquisitive eight-year-old Carl continues his journey to the mystical Paradise Falls where he hopes to land his home and live out the rest of his days in peace.

But it is when they arrive and meet 'Kevin', a bizarre, blue coloured, over-sized ostrich-like bird that their adventure really takes off.

The CGI in Up is of noticable better quality than compared to some previous Pixar titles but without losing its cartoon magic. The tale is pacey with a slow introduction to the main characters and riddled with good one liners throughout (especially from the talking dogs).

Up is in cinemas now.

A healthy air of skepticism is always needed when you decide to watch a film that has been hyped by DVD sellers but never got a cinema release. The same was true when asked to review Outlander. But against the usual DVD over-hype, it turned out to be a nice little gem of a film.

Admittedly the plot sounds a little silly when you first read it off the back of the DVD case but it is something that the movie executes well.

Canin falls from the sky over ancient Norway after his spaceship has been attacked. The other crewmember dies from his injuries and the vessel sinks leaving Canin to fend for himself on an alien world.

It is not long before Canin runs into the locals and is subsequently blamed for the massacre of the people of a nearby fishing village. And despite his best attempts to convince the locals that it was not him but a creature that followed him to Earth after it attacked his ship no-one seems to believe him (I wonder why).

After several failed attempts to escape and more attacks on the ever-decreasing populace the Norwegians finally decide that they are willing to listen.

Outlander has a nice feel to it with some very good acting, especially from veteran actor John Hurt. There are a few other familiar actors including Sophia Myles.

But the movies strong storyline is at times let down by the actors accents. Canin early on gets taught Norweigan by a computer that prints the information into his brain and as you would expect, viewers subsequently hear what everyone's saying as a translation into English. But while that is understandable, the varying American, Scottish and English accents amongst the characters is a little odd (they are supposed to be Norweigan after all).

Outlander is overall a solid movie despite this though and something families will also enjoy despite a few dark, scary moments early on.

A remake of the hit 1980's TV show set in a performing arts school in New York City.

Respectively remade with a new cast and updated dances and music, this is a must-see for anyone who loves musicals and those who love a happy ending where all dreams come true.

Fame is in cinemas now.
