Mind Blowing Experience!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2009)

I must admit that I had been looking up and reading about Avatar for awhile before it was released. This built up the hype of the movie for me and possibly contributed to my feelings for the film. Seeing this film in the 3D version is a must.
First off, I have never seen special effects like the ones displayed in this film. They were truly mind blowing! All of the creatures featured in the film were so realistic looking that it was simply astounding. Furthermore, the place called 'Pandora' in this film is magical. The special effects created beautiful plants and scenery to go along with it. I found just these little minuscule things to make the experience of seeing this film even greater. I never once found myself thinking about parts that looked fake because there simply weren't any.
Some people may shy away from how long this film was, 160 minutes but it helped with making the film even better. I found that this helped me fall in love with the natives of Pandora. The acting was superb. I definitely feel James Cameron should be nominated for best Director and the film should be nominated for Best Picture in the next Academy Awards. I found the film to be so fantastic that I must admit I was sad to leave the theater. This film made me wish I could live on the planet Pandora. This film may be my favorite film of all time.
