A visual extravaganza ! Cameron still has it in him !

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2009)

Being a devoted follower of James Cameron, I had huge expectations of this project, and I was not failed. Avatar is a modern day day epic reminiscent of Star Wars and is definitely going to garner a cult following. Though the storyline is thin and predictable, the visual treat that Cameron offers us reflects the genius in the great director. The movie was a roller-coaster ride from the word go and not a minute bored me. The casting was perfect and it was a pleasure watching Sigourney Weaver re- uniting with Cameron. Stephen Lang deserves special mention for beautifully portraying his role. The movie is an experience that would revolutionize cinema and would definitely be a trend-setter of sorts.
This movie proves that Cameron still has it in him and is a master director. Kudos to him. I wouldn't be surprised if this movie grabs a few Oscars this year, if not, be adjudged the best movie.
