Cameron---The Blue Period

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2010)

This is why they invented popcorn.
Yeah, okay. This IS a victory of style over substance and yadda yadda yadda...but there's enough just enough substance to sustain the story line, and the style alone is worth the price of admission. For those of us weaned on "Star Wars", welcome to the new paradigm.
Cameron, whether you love him or hate him, has changed the game with this puppy. From a purely technical standpoint, "Avatar" is absolute state of the art. Don't know if this flick will translate real well to your 36" flat screen at home, but throw in some stadium seating, 3D, and a big screen, and this is a an "E" ride at Disney.
We all liked the circus when we were kids, so let's not pretend this ain't fun. Pretty colors, rhinos with hammerheads and floating mountains courtesy Roger Dean. What's not to love, huh? On a side note, the movie has pulled in about $1 billion in the first 2 weeks. Given the size of the crew listed in the credits for the movie, that only works out to about $2.46 per person. (I did the math). So go buy a ticket and give these folks enough for a gallon of gas.
