Avatar

I have been hearing great things about Avatar for about a few months now. I am not one to believe the hype, but sometimes, if the majority of people say that something is good, it is very likely that it IS good.

All I knew about Avatar was that it was a 3D movie, directed and produced by the same guy who directed Titanic. As the ticket was $20 (about $15 more than I was willing to pay) it took me a week or two to persuade myself to actually go and see the movie.

And was I glad that I saw the movie! It was absolutely amazing. Everything about it was great. The story was interesting, entertaining and with a message in it. There was enough romance, action, shooting, laughing and crying to satisfy every movie goer's taste.

The movie also excelled in using the 3D technology to enhance the viewer's experience I really did not expect 3D to make such a big difference in the quality of the experience but it did. You really feel like you are standing right beside the actors or scenery as you watch it all develop. I would say that the difference between watching a normal vs a 3D movie is bigger than the difference between watching a black and white vs colour movie. It really feels that much better!

I am glad I went to see Avatar in a movie theater, as I would not be able to replicate this experience at home.
