There have been a lot of crappy science fiction movies, some good ones, and a few great ones. For me, Avatar falls into the last category. I’m not going to say that the story is original, because it’s not (not many are these days!), but it’s told in an original fashion, and it’s told very well.
But the most captivating thing about Avatar, and I suspect the primary key to the movie’s success, is the sheer, unadulterated beauty of the world of Pandora and its inhabitants. James Cameron has created one of the most visually stunning worlds ever made on-screen or off. I would have happily watched the movie even if it had done nothing but give a grand tour of Cameron’s vision.
Yes, it was that good.
I’m not going to go into a big review of the movie, because – like many such things – a bazillion other folks have covered that in detail. I simply wanted to encourage you, implore you, to do yourself a favor and go see this movie. You’ll be glad you did!
