A journey more than a movie - one of the most visually appealing films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2009)

James Cameron takes you on a virtual reality journey in this movie - within a few mins of reaching planet Pandora in the movie, you'll forget you are looking at special effects and get immersed in the world he's created for you. A lot was stressed on the lack of a strong storyline here, but when the special effects are like this, you have no time to ponder about the story. The script and acting are superb - both by the actors and the na'vi characters. But the strength of this experience lies in the world Cameron takes you to - the sights and sounds are realistic beyond compare. This is not your ordinary computer graphics - this is one of the very rare cases where special effects will make it more of a journey than just a movie. It is also a film where 3D really shines. Till now, 3D was the forte of animation movies. Here, 3D will bring you uncannily close to realism...
