James Cameron's 3D box office hit film Avatar is "captivating" but lacks "true emotion", according to the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano newspaper.

While acknowledging the film's visual impact, the paper said the movie was "bland" and because Cameron had concentrated too much on the special effects, he ended up with a plot "more sentimental then searching". The paper's review put it on a par with Dances With Wolves, UK's The Sun reports.

It added:"In the end it is just reduced to an anti-imperialistic, anti-militaristic parable which doesn't have the same cutting bite as other more committed films on the same theme."
