Astonishing Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2009)

Read many comments in here before seeing this and they were spot on. This film is so beautiful and stunning it defies belief. Felt to me like seeing a film hundreds of years in the future. Story line is great and the Nav'i capture your heart very strongly. Avatar has taken movie creatures and special effects many, many steps forward. Some people have likened this to Dances With Wolves and there is a simple parallel but it is a great understatement. Telling folks about this verbally I simply say "words cannot convey." It is fairly long but so engrossing that one does not notice. It is so incredibly good, I will be shocked if it does not reach top 20 of all time in here. Saw it without the 3D and imagine that in 3D it would just simply blow the audience's brains clean out of their skulls. Indeed this film is a landmark and a new one to beat. Cannot imagine that happening anytime soon. Bravo, bravo, bravo!
