This might be the greatest movie of all time. I had high hopes, but not this high! In fact, usually I get so hyped up for big movies, that I always end up disappointed, but not this time.
Avatar made me feel like a little kid again where everything is magical. Nothing else comes close to the fantasy world created by Cameron. Not only is it the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen in a movie but I became completely immersed in it.
It was one of those rare movies where there was a huge round of applause when the credits rolled. And I smiled non-stop for half an hour after that.
Don't wait for this to come out on Blu-Ray and DVD. You have to see this in the theatre and you have to see it in 3D (preferably IMAX). I've never recommended that before, but it wasn't a distraction. It added to the immersion by adding depth to the movie, rather than having things popping out of the screen at you all the time.
Incredible acting, casting, cinematography, animation, direction, music, and sound effects. This should win Oscars for everything. Yes, it's ground breaking, but it's also movie making at its best in all aspects.
