Avatar isn't really a movie! Its a experience!

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2010)

I have to be honest that i went into this movie with zero expectations, since ever i first saw the trailer, i thought to myself " why are people so hyped up about blue humaniods that looks like big humans with an animalistic look to them", granted i had not really read anything about the movie, all i knew that its was written and directed by James Cameron, and even thought hes a great director, I didn't think avatar deserved all the hype...until my friends wanted to go see the 3D version..and my view of avatar drastically changed.

Granted the story wasn't ground breaking, its wasn't even new , it had all be done before. But it didn't take me long time watching the movie to realize that avatar is not an ordinary movie, its focus wasn't to tell a story, like other movies, it was to immerse yourself into a beautyfull world, of unimaginable creativity (you can see everything from an lizard helicopters to floating mountains), more like what a video game wants you too then a movie. The story is more of an vessle that you use to connect with the world of Pandora, to see it, to imagine how it would be like to be there to see all the wondrous things of Pandora. Thats why Avatar isn't really about the story, its about for a few hours to exist in an other world, and thats why Avatar is not a movie, its an experience!
