My slightly late, but nevertheless enthusiastic, review of James Cameron's AVATAR.

I have now seen this movie a couple of times, and to quote a buddy of mine, "it was even better the second time". I personally really loved it in fact. It was fun to watch, in regards to special effects, and action sequences. The second time I saw it, I went with my Mother and two teenage girls, (sister and cousin), and they thought it was amazing. My Mom gave it rave reviews and that just never happens. She just isn't' into sci-fi or fantasy much.. and even after we saw Return of the King, she wasn't that excited. She thought AVATAR was really cool.
According to James Cameron, he began writing the story for the film, in 1995.. but knew that the technology to execute the film in the way he imagined, just didn't exist. So in 2005 he brought the idea back to the table and started the work to make this in a real film. Stages were built, programs were written, and filming began. This is a revolutionary film and the art of it is the compliment to the technology involved in the making.
For me, it was the coolest, dreamiest, and most perfect version of a movie created in a decades.. in terms of this style anyway.. Many parts were so perfect in the execution of effect and performance, that I was hardly even aware that the the run time was over 2 and a half hours. It was fantastic. If you have a chance to see it in the REAL 3D that it is being presented in, in many cities.. I highly recommend it. It makes the experience even more amazing. Check it out and let me know what you think!
