Avatar - A Triumph!!!


Well, it looks like James Cameron is really excellent at these huge, epic movies!!!

I will start by saying... WOW!!!  Beautiful, moving, adventuraous, inventive, real, heart-felt, surprising, tender, exciting... I could go on.

This is what I would call an "Edge of your seat Romance".  Avatar so fully met and exceeded all of my expectations, I am actually impressed.  This movie is inventive and passionate.  It's the kind of movie that makes me want to stand up and cheer!

Let's start with the skillful mastery of James Cameron.  He kept me on the edge of my seat with this one for almost 3 full hours!!!  I wanted it to go on and on!!!  James, I'm ready for the sequel!

The acting is excellent.  The cast is perfect.  Matching some of our favorite veterans with some welcome new comers.  Sigourney Weaver is powerful, believable and fabulous, as always!  I will also give a warm nod to Giovanni Ribisi who; again, as always, is not only believable, but the witty and charismatic bad guy we love to hate.

I was completely sold on the alternate/alien world created by James Cameron.  I was so drawn in by this beautiful world; I started learning the language while I was in the theater.

This is a MUST SEE for the big screen!  The visuals are stunning, the acting is wonderful, and the direction is literally brilliant.

Run, don't walk to your nearest big screen and see Avatar!!
