Avatar Review

Avatar: James Cameron's long-awaited Sci-Fi epic comes close to getting a prefect grade, but falls one Na'Vi short. The movie is spectacular on screen, like nothing I have seen before. In fact, Avatar leap frogs past the current state of filmmaking. The first 90 minutes of the film explores the moon of Pandora with our hero Jake Sully, this alone was worth the price of admission. Where the movie comes up a tad short is the story. This is not to say that it is bad, more that it is not that original of a theme. The final twenty minutes depicts a battle on screen that really has to be seen to be believed. The blue natives fly on dragons battling military planes, while on the ground robot enhanced soldiers take on exotic alien creatures. I watched the movie on IMAX in 3-D. The 3-D effect is subtle, not used as a gimmick. It actually lets you get more immersed in one of the most creative worlds ever seen in movies. The bigger the screen you see this on the better, so don't wait until it is available to download on your iPhone. Get out and explore Pandora the way it was meant to be seen because it is Big, Bright, and Beautiful! Thanks James.

  1. Great review. I didn't had chance to watch Avatar in IMAX 3D, and everyone says: "Your lost"... Your post only confirms it. I wish there were IMAX near my hometown :(

  2. I knew, I should've caught this one in IMAX.. But it was still such a beauty in normal 3D!

  3. It is destined to become a childhood classic to many little-ones too young to be on this forum. It will be talked about at high school by male and females as spectacular. It will be watched multiple times by fans.
