Gripping, epic, sad and at times even funny. Expect to experience a full range of emotions.

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2010)

NO SPOILERS :) It was an excellent movie that will change your life. I was expecting it to be mediocre at best, to be honest. But, when I watched it, was I ever surprised. I wanted to glance at my friends and say "Isn't this amazing?" But I was so caught up in the story, in the 3D that I could not take my eyes off the screen for fear of missing even a single second of film. I've never in my life had my eyes so thoroughly glued to a movie before. At times you will laugh, at others your eyes may water. There will be moments of outrage and moments of sorrow. A movie that can capture the full range of human emotions is a da@n good movie.
I have seen about an average of 100 movies a year for many years now, and I believe that if you like science fiction/fantasy and you like movies and you enjoy a decent plot that will keep you glued to your seat, you will enjoy this film. In the last 2 years I have seen 238 movies (yes I log it all in a Open Office Spreadsheet :p), and this is the best I've seen yet, and not just of the 238 I've seen in the past couple years but quite frankly, ever. That's no to say a better movie won't come out in the future, in fact I strongly believe so.
The Whole time I looked and tried and tried to find a flaw in the CGI, a point where it didn't look believable when melded with the real world characters and I could not locate a single flaw. The acting was much better than I could have hoped for and as such I was impressed.
In my opinion. The only people who don't like Avatar (Not to sound overtly biased) are so jealous of James Cameron that they're driven to despise all that he is and all that he makes. I know a guy like this. Won't even watch the movie in full... he downloads it, says it sucks and he's watched 75% of it here and there... and hasn't even seen it all let alone seen it in Real D 3D... something wrong with this picture? have I mentioned he is in the film industry and is struggling to find work, and failing at it regularly?
