I took my family to see Avatar yesterday. That includes a 14-year-old girl, a 21-year-old boy and parents who are…well, let’s just say were older. Universally, the four of us walked out in agreement that it was a good movie.
Although the first 20 minutes seemed to be slow, it was necessary to set up what happens during the rest of the movie. And once you get into the heart of the storyline, the eye candy is incredible. The colors were fantastic and the CGI was good enough that you forgot you were in a story. It was seamless.
The movie seemed a little long to me, and the plot line was a little predictable, but it was easy to immerse yourself in the story. The characters were interesting and they really went to a lot of effort to ensure a great experience.
What can I say? It’s a lot like Fern Gully, but on steroids. The story is better written and the graphics were amazing. This picture has raised the bar for CGI graphics. In short, this is a movie I’m glad I saw in the theater and I can’t wait to get it on Blu-ray.
