An incredible experience

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2009)

Let me just begin by saying this movie is not perfect. The story feels recycled, and some characters do feel a bit bland. Like most of the Avatar team.
However, what saves this movie is its simply incredible delivery. CGI and 3D are top of the line, and they are likely to be considered awesome for quite a few more years. And despite the story shortcomings, immersion, musical score, directing, and the movie tempo are simply perfect. And that's what makes all the difference. A lot of us have already seen something similar in the movies 10, 20 or 30 years ago. However, this movie will be what the current and future children will compare other, future, similar movies to. This is the Star Wars and Jurassic Park alike epic movie which will leave children - and quite a few of older people - wide-eyed and mouth-gaping. Family-friendly, mass-reaching fun.
While it's not the best movie of all times, it's most certainly best cinema experience of all times. Avatar will most certainly enter the movie history as one of the most influential movies ever made, and most certainly most influential this decade - despite it arriving only 2 weeks before this decade's end.
