Avatar is a cinematic experience that needs to be had by anyone who has ever dreamed of a new beginning (World Peace, Global Warming, Protect the Planet) or wanted to be a filmmaker or just enjoys being taken into a world of make believe that they wish was true. Avatar captures your imagination with the grand beautiful scope of Pandora and Na’vi culture. Everything from the acting to the art direction to the cinematography, says Cinema!! Avatar leaves you with so many adjectives to explain your enjoyment of the film that you will not run out of things to say. The pacing of the film is excellent. It breathes when it needs to breathe and lets you consume the emotion. It ramps up to 60 mphs when it needs to and takes you on a breathtaking ride. I loved everything about this film from the James Horner score….(who also did Titanic, another James Cameron film) to the acting by Sigourney Weaver….(who played Ripley in Aliens, another James Cameron film) to the digital special effects of the AMP suits – Amplified Mobility Platform….(which was also used in Aliens when Ripley was in that yellow machine). Avatar is impressively seamless and the ultimate embodiment of a virtual reality. If you see this film, it has to be experienced in IMAX 3D or just 3D. Just as the main character is placed inside an Avatar…so are you when placed in the IMAX 3D theater. James Cameron promised that he’d bring you a 3D experience like no other and he did not fail. I feel as though the message is clearly conveyed that we are destroying our planet and our human race. We are the aliens and our world is the human.
