Edge of our seats

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2010)

My teenage kids and I have been looking forward to this movie for weeks. We live in a tiny town in Alaska that was recently able to get 3D capabilities for our little cinema, and the whole town was excited for the Avatar experience.
We made plans with our friends to go see the movie, and then had to persuade my husband to come with us. He doesn't do the cinematic thing very often, but after a little cajoling he came with us.
As we watched the movie, I was a little nervous that he wasn't getting into it as much as I was. That is, until I saw him wipe at his eyes under the 3D glasses. Later, I (for the first time in my adult life) felt that I needed to sit on the edge of my seat. Literally. Still feeling a little self-conscious, I glanced over at him. He was up on the edge of his seat, too.
That's the highest praise that I can give a movie--you, James Cameron and crew, made us care so much about Pandora that we couldn't just sit back and watch. Thank you for a wonderful three hours!!
