We had to wait 20 years...

If are a tough to please fan of TRUE science fiction action movies, then you must know that James Cameron's Aliens (1986) is a master piece that established the roots for every science fiction action movie, computer game plot and indeed even technology enthusiasts, engineers and scientists (like me).
We had to wait 20 years and a lot of recently released rubbish to witness James Cameron's genius once again.. I wonder why is he the only director capable of delivering such gemstones. Why can't we see this kind of talent spring in other directors? Yes I am thinking about "Transformers", "Cloverfield","2012" and all the plethora of vampire-superhero-crap that has been thrown to our eyes recently. Some notable exceptions are to be noticed, though, like "District 9", but they are too few... and not comparable to this.
AVATAR is an amazing experience that leaves you completely breathless, it's the closest we can be to having our own "avatar" and running, flying around that alien planet. James Cameron proves that you can have both great special effects (best ever up to 2009), a fantastic plot that makes you dream, and wonderful interpretations that make you actually care for the characters.
James Cameron is a genius, it is only a shame that there are not many like him... lets just hope we do not have to wait another 20 years.
If you miss this movie, you just better quit watching movies at all.. you are waisting your eyeballs.
Epic win :)
