Cinematic History Before Your Eyes

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2009)

In typical James Cameron fashion this was an utterly visually stunning masterpiece! Not watching this film in 3D at a cinema would deny the film the justice it deserves. This film, more than any other in history, transforms the audience into a different world.
The story itself is solid, although at times predicable. However the central characters remain interesting and engaging. The acting is strong, without being brilliant. However the villain is perhaps overly simplistic and slightly one-dimensional. The story combines drama and action, which is not always a good combination - in this case though, it just works.
Overall an absolute MUST SEE! In years to come this film will be reflected upon for its revolutionary special effects and its role in establishing a new era of cinema viewing. Do yourself a favour and absorb yourself in the world of Avatar.
