Better a second time around!

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2018)

I saw Avatar in theaters back in 2009. At the time, the visual design of the movie was utterly mind-blowing. However, the story reminded me a lot of Pocahontas. However, I just watched this movie for a second time after 9 years and thought it was phenomenal! If you approach it not from a viewpoint of skepticism, but allow yourself to look past the arguably non-original story, you find a gorgeous creation (that looks just as good now as it did 9 years ago) with a story that pulls at your heartstrings. If like me, you saw it in theaters and gave it a pass after that. Go back and watch it again without prejudice. Allow your self to sit back and soak it in. You may fall in love with Cameron's creation like I did.
