The work of a genius well above ordinary comprehension

Where do I begin ? I had been anticipating AVATAR since the year 2008(If I remember correctly the month was August when I first heard of it). I waited with anticipation for this masterpiece spending each and every day on IMDb with a group of devoted followers. We waited for every scrap of leak- pictures, plot, ideas-Anything !
and then finally came the day...18th December, 2009. I bought two back to back tickets and after seeing the film was......disappointed ! I felt that the story could have been better and to be honest this is more of a fantasy film than a hard science fiction one. I was upset- Seriously!
I forgot about the film and then about a month back I read James Cameron's biography(The futurist) and became obsessed all over again. A new found love if you may call it so. The thing is this : AVATAR is so much more than just a film and James Cameron is so much more than just a film-maker.
Avatar has deeply embedded themes which will be ripe even a hundred years from now, in fact it will be applicable as long as man's conscious is alive. On the visual front, every aspect that I felt was more cartoonish and fantasy gained a whole new meaning when seeing it through Jim's eyes.....Jim is an ardent scuba diver and the flora and fauna on Pandora is inspired from organisms living in the deepest pores of our planet - We will go-you, me and mankind but this planet will live on and so will the wonder that is LIFE.
James is a visionary. He is an explorer first and then a film-maker. Put it this way film-making is a means to fund his passion. He lives and most of us simply exist. AVATAR will live on
