I want to go to Pandora and be a Na'vi

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2009)

I never went to IMAX before cause frankly the tickets too expensive. My reasoning was to wait for a film well worth the money. I was tempted when The Dark Knight was released but I resisted. But for Avatar I was sold as soon as I saw the first poster.
I watched Avatar on the 16th of Dec Wednesday in Melboure 3rd largest screen in the world in IMAX 3D and was blown away right from the start to the end and after. But being a bit of a skeptic I waited a couple of days to see how I feel about it after mulling it in my head and now all I want to do is watch it again and again on the big screen as many times as I can.
Yes the characters are 2D(some stupid critic said this), yes the plot is simple, yes the story is clichéd and Yes *beep* me sideways I loved every bit of it. One of my best movie experiences right from the visuals, the story, the emotions, the sound effects, background score(loved it - thanks James Horner). I rate fantasy movies by how much I would like to be one of the characters in the setting and man I want to be Jake Sully -as a Na'vi on Pandora with Neytiri and my ikran- very very bad maybe even more than Captain Jack Sparrow or Harry Potter.
Avatar might not be the best movie but for me and for many it will be the best movie experience for a long time.
