An accidental fan.

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2010)

I came to this film purely by chance. I had seen Sherlock Holmes and was heading to my car when my brother called. I met him at the exit to the cinema. I had an apparently "speical" offer. One of my brother's friends had gotten sick, so would I like to see Avatar? In IMAX 3D no less? I had seen T2 when I was younger, but the name of the director did not register to me. I had seen half of Alien before I ran screaming out of the room. I had never seen a trailer for this, and the only warning I got was a poster. The one with the Na'vi face. Not much of a heads-up! I went in not knowing anything. No plot, no expectations... And this move removed any limits I have put on a film. It was real. The planet, the Na'vi, and the humans. I came here and read the reviews before I went back and watched it. I have now seen it 3 times. For the apparent disappointment you seem to feel, I can not fathom. I am no movie critic. I am no Si-fi fan. But I think that if a language for a movie is made by a PHD, it might hold some water. If it is just like "Dance with the Wolves" (I have never seen) then...well, Where are wolves exactly? I certainly didn't see Ankin jump out at any point. Or the T-1000. And this wasn't an awful gushy romance like Titanic (the film was awesome, the actor's, no so much) . This move can hold it's own. The second one...well, I will be waiting.
