Avatar (2009, Movie)

Expectations get so overblown that by the time the film is released disappointment is inevitable. My hubby and I walked away in awe, even if the story is lacking as a whole. Said story is set in the year 2154 and involves a mission by U. S. Armed Forces to an earth-sized moon in orbit around a massive star.On Pandora, Jake (Sam Worthington) is a good soldier and then goes native after his life is saved by the brave Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).

Even when computer generated images share the screen with live action the seamless blend is astonishing. As for 3D, no affected scenes where things jump out at you. The interiors and rain forests in this film are like nothing you have ever seen and even the Na'vi are rendered so beautifully you can almost use the word sexy, both in their stop motion movements and the CGI, which will no doubt spell out "Oscar." Avatar delivers Sci Fi like we have rarely seen it. This one was really off the wall in IMAX!
