Definitely a sci-fantasy

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2009)

Good movie! However, I feel like one of the reasons that I liked it was because I am into role playing games and other sci-fi/fantasy subjects. I think it will be much easier for younger people (particularly those who play video games) to get into this movie. Most of the movie takes place in a inside a "game world" that happens to be physically manifesting itself elsewhere on the planet. I wish I knew more about the whole "lay in this bed while your mind moves aliens" technology. I also wish I knew more about the history between humans and the blue guys.
Long story short: this is a good movie that is probably worth paying to see in the theater. Don't go see it if you don't like fantasy OR Sci-fi. Even if you find that the story line is too froo-froo for you, you can still find enjoyment in watching the special effects- which are pretty awesome.
PS- when watching this movie, I constantly saw correlations in the story line between avatar and a video game called Elder scrolls 3: morrowind... just found that interesting.
