Great movie with groundbreaking special effects!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2009)

Just watched Avatar in digital 3-D. Here is what I felt in a few words: The special effects obviously seemed like first of its' kind, with excellent 3-D depth perception (I'm sure 2-D would be fine as well). However, that pretty much goes without saying.......As he always did in the past, James Cameron betters only himself in setting up super high standards in movie after movie. But what lies beneath the special effects was even more amazing.....James Cameron's imagination!!! He literally transports the viewers to the world of Pandora, even within the first few minutes of the movie. As for the story, it has a nice, but somewhat traditional good vs. evil fable, with several hidden but often clear messages and relevances to the humankind. Several parts of the story were predictable. But that's not a bad thing as some critics (mostly professional:-) would often assert. As long as it flows smoothly, which it does in Avatar, some predictability never hurts the outcome of a great movie!
