Not just a film, an experience.

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2010)

The work gone into making Avatar is amazing. There is so much detail on screen and it is brought to life magnificently. The CGI is so real and lifelike that I couldn't tell it was CGI. I felt like I was on Pandora, especially when watching the film in 3D. The clarity and depth of vision is superb.
The performances of the actors is very good and even more so considering they are working with motion capture and CGI. It must be a lot harder acting this way than in a conventional movie.
The first part of the film introduces you to the characters and the world of Pandora. Although the film has a simple story which has been told before, it does not matter. It is done so well and in such a way that i'm feeling emotion, empathy, I'm fully immersed in what is going on. I care about the characters and what is happening. A thrilling experience.
This is how good films make you feel. Hats off to Cameron for making another masterpiece.
