Avatar wows!

Awe just saw Avatar and all I can say is OMG!!! The 3D effect was so clean and smooth that I just forgot about it. The characters were so well developed and the story line drew me in so that I didn't even notice the time going by (the movie is ~2.5 hr long)!

Critics are saying things like "New Flesh Covers Old Bones", but I'm not one to listen to critics. I gave that up back when they were all raving about American Beauty. How anyone could think that a movie about pedophilia, homosexuality, alchoholism, domestic violence, etc. deserved any sort of praise is beyond me. Critics are just "talking heads" with an opinion and a pulpit from which to blab about it.

So, if you've been wondering if the movie lives up to its hype the answer is an enthusiastic "Yes!" The world of Pandora is so intricate and filled with life that you're going to have to see it two of three times. Everything from the little bugs to the monstrous animals have a level of detail and movement that brings them to life in such a believeable way that you totally accept their existence!

The quiet interludes will make you catch your breath at their beauty. The big battle (you know it's coming) will have you crying only to be cheering and clapping at the finale. Don't wait for someone to spoil it for you. Go ASAP! See it in 3D, if at all possible. Then, go see it again just to take in all the awsomeness of this production.
