An exceptionally engaging and visually stunning film

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2009)

This film is about the invasion of humans into a distant planet Pandora, where Na'vis live, to mine a precious metal.
Pandora is depicted with such realistic and poetic beauty, and is sculpted with such a human touch. I feel Pandora could be my home. It makes me care for the Na'vis and their world. I feel so connected with them, that I feel all their emotions. I feel so close to them that I am almost one of them. Coupled with the amazing visual effects that are stunningly real. "Avatar" is a very strong film which makes 2.5 hours seem far too short. I watched in good old 2D but it already manages to blow me away.
I seldom can enjoy or even understand science fiction movies, but "Avatar" is exceptional as I managed to understand and enjoy it. In fact, I even concentrated on the film and loved it. The story is simple but it parallels many current affairs in our world of sky people. Through great story telling, the story engages me throughout, which is not an easy thing as the film is so long. People say "Avatar" is unlike anything people have seen so far, and I have to agree.
