I must admit that over the last week or so I was getting pretty jaded at the whole hype thing going on with Avatar, how it was showing up in awards lists and best of’s etc. I heard that the script wasn’t anything special but it looked great. Others praised it to such ridiculous levels that it was hard to believe.
Avatar changes everything.
As I write this I’m only an hour or so out of the viewing and I’m completely blown away.
Completely.
If you have the choice see this in 3D, wait to see it in 3D if you have to.
Don’t wait for it to come out on DVD or even Blu-ray. It is worth making the trip into town, it is worth getting a babysitter, it is worth paying a little extra to see it.
It’s not just a film it is an experience, you are there. Plus in my opinion it actually has a very strong story, a great cast and brilliant design.
Could I find any faults? Sure, if you are a mean old bastard, but you know what? I can pick apart any film you want. As much as it would pain me to do so in some cases but picking apart a film is easy, the film has to make you not want to and Avatar easily allows you to ignore any flaw it may have.
Great film.
Go see it.
Worth every penny and it should get the Academy Award, it won’t, but it bloody well should.
