Wow

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2010)

Avatar. I heard it was a good movie and thought that I would check it out. Since I had reserved it, it took almost half a year to get it. I just finished watching it. It took three "3 hour nights" to watch it. Now I have seen it.
In one word, EPIC. This movie is epic. Just non-stop. From the beginning to the end. From the acting to the special effects. To the story. To the characters traits. Everything.
Now, I watched it on a portable DVD player which removes as much quality as possible. Which means I see the pixels on the screen. But even then, the movie blended in so perfectly that I didn't even notice the pixels. This hasn't happened with any other movie yet.
Now, believe it or not, this review COULD have received a FULL 10/10 rating (first one I would have rated that high), if it weren't for two things. First, why the constant swearing? Yes, it makes adults happy but for those who honestly couldn't care less, I don't need to hear the f bomb over and over again. But because they had profanity, I removed one from the rating.
The other is very crucial. I'll admit, this is one of the most epic endings ever. CGI, great acting. I thought having the main bad guy come out of the ship while it was blowing up was the most epic thing ever. And then seeing that it was good guy hero vs bad guy leader. That was epic. What didn't make it to the epic was the final kill. Yes, it was cool but there probably could have been a better way to kill him instead of using two bow and arrows.
But the final scene, with the guy lying dead on the rock, with the camera right at his eyes, and then he opens them. That was EPIC. No doubt. They probably had to take that take over and over and over again to get it just right. I know, I'm weird. But in order to end the movie, if the final battle is epic, then the final shot has to be. This was perfect.
So my final say is, if you haven't seen AVATAR, see it!
