Entertainment set at maximum....

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2009)

Went to see the movie last Saturday at the local I.M.A.X. This is the first chance I have had to write the review, even though the movie and its impact on me has been in the back of my mind since the experience.
Experience is the word, this movie is epic, beautiful, engaging, exhilarating and quite simply fantastical.
The slight extra cost to view the film (IMAX 3D) was worth every penny and a load more.
Visuals are simply stunning from the off. The 3D is extremely impressive from the start and instantly you are emerged in the movie/experience.
Yes the story is the same story we have read/seen many times, however the way its presented and told is very well done. Good pacing, great direction and an brilliant score help the 3hrs pass in a flash.
So is the movie the groundbreaking event its hyped to be? Well you will have NEVER seen anything quite like this before, so in that respect it is. The effects are almost perfect excluding a couple of frames here and there.
James Cameron just knows how to entertain, arguably better than any modern day director/movie maker? Avatar is yet another strong tick in his resume. Personally this could be my favourite Cameron movie in fact.
There is nothing I didn't like or enjoy about Avatar. All the cast were fantastic, even though some where only CGI character they still did a great job. Nobody in the production of this movie let the side down.
10/10 An epic of the modern day. Quite simply puts a lot of "event movies" to shame. Watch this then watch Transformers 2. Night and day.
The King of the World is BACK.
