The Best 3D Film Ever Made and Possibly The Best Thing To Happen in 2009

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2010)

I say possibly the 'Best Thing To Happen in 2009', but Avatar is definitely the best movie I could have chosen to end my year with.
After James Cameron's spectacular efforts in the past (Titanic, the Terminator series) I had very high expectations for Avatar. These expectations sank when I was handed a pair of 3D glasses by the woman behind the counter at my local cinema. This was because I have never sat through the entirety of a 3D movie in my life. That was before I saw Avatar.
Everything that 'flies out of the screen' blends into the 2D images behind it (the opposite of Pixar's 3D movies where flying objects are so detached from the the rest of the screen that they have absolutely no relevance to the scenes taking place in the background), and the colours are so sharp but somehow easy on the eye.
Although I have declared this review a 'spoiler', I am not going to give the plot away. I feel that just writing about experiencing the luscious scenery of Pandora is spoiling Avatar enough for you.
This movie is a 'must see', as it is truly a breakthrough in the history of motion pictures.
