A very beautiful and surreal movie experience!

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2010)

You know, there is not enough that only words can express what I feel about this movie... In all honesty, I went into this movie, complete with 3D and at an IMAX theater, not expecting anything new.
But in the words of James Cameron himself, I was wrong. He set out to revolutionize something, but that was not a stellar plot, outstanding characters, excellent screenplay / dialogue or even the 3D element.
I fully (and finally) understood his dream, which had taken 4 long years to fulfill. The dream of revolutionizing the way we watch movies at the theaters today.
He wanted to encapsulate the ultimate movie experience that only Avatar came close to perfection in. And what an experience indeed, at least for me. Nowadays, some people choose to stay home and watch movies on the DVD's. And even then, other people, including me, tend to drag my feet to the theaters, expecting not much of a difference between cosying (sp?) up on a sofa and watching a wide-screen format on the silver screen itself.
Avatar changed all that. And that is what has made it so successful and on the way to possibly breaking Titanic's long-lasting box office record (which I strongly believe it will in due time).
It is that desire to experience something new that will continue to push us back into theaters from now on, and I am very grateful for Cameron's vision, one that he achieved so admirably.
And that is all I have to say, thank you so much, James Cameron!
