THE cinematic experience

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

We (5 people) saw Avatar yesterday and each and every one of us was blown away by the beauty and the beasts of Pandora. This is not watching a movie, it's an experience and I mean this in the truest sense of the word. Also mesmerized were the 200 to 300 people in the audience, because during it's 162 minutes of running time you could have heard a pin drop. There was no talking, no noisy munching of popcorn and no playing around with cell phones. It's good to have Mr. Cameron back in the directing chair, because he breathed life into the rotten and hollow corpse of Hollywood's cinematic existence with all their boring movies and unnecessary remakes. Since the last of the Lord of the Rings films cinemas across the world were a barren wasteland, but it took the visionary genius of Mr. Cameron to put something out there that is full of life. Usually I'm not someone who easily weeps, only when I see the beauty and the wonders of our own world (Grand Canyon, a starry sky in a summers night etc.), but yesterday when we discovered Pandora through the eyes of Jake Scully, I had to fight back tears of joy, because of it's beauty and exuberance. I was not the only one feeling this way, and our little group consisted of fans of all genres, but everyone was on the same page yesterday: This film was one of the best in recent years and in many years to come. Speaking of years to come, I hope that Mr. Cameron will bring us back to Pandora to show us more unforgettable things. Thank you, Mr. Cameron for bringing things back on the big screen, that seemed to be lost and forgotten since the end credits of The Return of the King came to an end in December 2003. Thanks o lot!!!
