Avatar Movie Review


Just got back from seeing Avatar. In a word, "Wow!"

So the story is familiar (Disney's Pocahontas with blue cat people), it didn't keep me from fully investing is the experience.  I really enjoyed it.  Sweetie made a good point; the familiar story kept from distracting from the gorgeous special effects.  BIG hat tip to James Cameron, Avatar looks like nothing you've ever seen before.  All the tired tag lines: "Revolutionary," "Game Changing," really do apply.  Pandora is a fully realized world and the Na'vi are fully realized "people."  Oddly enough, the scenery was more distracting than the Na'vi characters.  I quickly forgot they were CGI blue cat/people aliens and just thought of them as "people."

Go see Avatar.  Now.

Aren't you gone yet?

Peace,
John
