AVATAR In Two Words

"Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world and in here is the dream..." - Jake Sully

You've probably read more than a dozen rave reviews on Avatar - James Cameron's latest masterpiece that literally took 12 years in the making. Honestly, I was sorely itching to blog about it the day i saw it on the big screen - not on 3D nor IMAX - but just in your humble La-Z-Boy fashion. It was my piqued curiosity that made me wait until I've finally seen it on 3D before finally raving about it in my blog. After all, as corny as it may sound, I'm a 3D dummy so there's no better timing than this, right?

"I see you..." ^_^

Some described the movie as good (Which, in my august opinion, is way too much of an understatement), excellent, fantastic, brilliant, great, etc. Well, I'd sum up my opinion of the movie in two words: TIMELESS and RARE. Need I say more? Cameron has worked his magic into the big screen once again, this time even surpassing the wonder that was Titanic. Oh, and yes - watching it in 3D did quadruple the appreciation. LOL! If you're still in doubt or you think that this entry is just another mere exaggeration then, by all means, go and catch it on some local theater (But you'll have to wait until MMFF is over.) or just wait for some pirated DVD which - I'm sure - will be out on the streets in no time. Go and see for yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if you won't mind watching the movie again, and again (and again, and again...).

I'm still a 3D dummy... sad. But I really did enjoy the movie.

Going in, I wasn't sure what to expect and didn't have too high expectations. I knew the effects would be great but that usually sacrifices the story. I was quite surprised that the story was actually very good.

Can't wait until this comes out on Blu-Ray so I can add it to my collection!

Hi Kevin! Yup, same here... didn't really expect much out of the movie, but knowing that it was a Cameron flick, I had the feeling that it's got 'something' to offer. Well, surprises of surprises, I loved it! And so did my family. :)
