Avatar, great date film

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2009)

It's got something for everyone, romanticized compassion with love for "Mother Earth" for the gals, and lots of mechanical high-tech blow-ups, blow-outs....for the guys. It isn't too mushy and it doesn't beat you over the head with PC....it's great fun for everyone. Just go for the sheer joy of the paintings....and the special effect worlds...gorgeous. It's story is familiar (A Man called Horse/Dances with Wolves) but updated for the future, when man is heading out to other planets...warnings....about human attitudes.
Horner's music is luscious as usual, with shades of Titanic, Legends of the Fall...and Trek...combined. Worth every penny spent on it. Can't wait for more films of this type....with more story line.
