    AVATAR. Grade: A-average (Based on advance VIP preview - Fri. Aug. 21 and Thurs. Dec. 17)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    AVATAR was directed by James Cameron, and stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, etc.

    With a production budget of over $237 million(plus $150 million in marketing/promotion), the production quality is FIRST-RATE!
    I was in awe with the spectacularly computer-generated world(moon) of Pandora. The realistic-looking world-scapes had me transfixed plus combining that with the EXCELLENT cinematography by Mauro Fiore and 3D with tremendous depth, Pandora truly came ALIVE!
    I was mesmerized by the bio-luminescent night-time flora and fauna - a veritable fairy-land of soft glow and breath-taking lights. I must have hurt my jaw as it dropped and hit the floor. The banshee flights = exhilarating!

    However, the average plot begged for improvement. That, and the fact that the characters are basically one-dimensional - these were the only drawbacks.

    VERDICT:
    James Cameron delivered a spectacular gorgeous action-packed spectacle.

    What I Saw At The Revolution

    by dpersons

    Avatar is simply the most revolutionary, creative, stunning film I have ever seen. Cameron has once again created something that has never been done before, but unlike many of his other efforts, this film has the story to go with the effects. And the effects in Avatar are the most revolutionary since The Jazz Singer introduced sound and Star Wars introduced special effects in the way those two films did. This is what ALL movies will look like in a few years. What Cameron has done is nothing less than recreate the medium in a single film. It is that good. The effects are seamless, the 3-D (finally) is not gimmicky but rather stunningly done, and the story is a good one as well. 3-D in the past has reeked of "see what we can do with 3-D!" This film is smooth.If you want to say that you were there when the revolutionary new period in films began, go see Avatar. It is absolutely, indescribably stunning and the best of Cameron's career - or anyone else's. It is an instant masterpiece. GO!

    Avatar was amazing!!!

    by erickmiller

    Amazing. Seriously incredible... blew my mind. I was a child again, on another planet, lost in the suspension of disbelief. CG was impeccable. Story was epic.

    I knew from the onset that I'd regret turning down going to NZ (I was stuck in LA) to work on it 3yrs ago, but this film was even better than I ever anticipated.

    Great, fantastic, astounding work to all my friends, and everyone involved!!!!
