Movie Review (not a rant!)

We finally made it to avitar in IMAX on our 4th attempt, and it was certainly worth it. The one drawback, is that the first half of the movie made me motion sick while I was getting use to the 3D etc. I thought i was gonna lose my movie nachos at one point, and after spending 11 bucks for a tiny bag of tostitos and cheese dip, I was determined to hold on to that. If i saw it again i'd probably not see it in imax hoping that would be less intense.

The bio-luminescent world that James Cameron created was beautiful. That alone is reason enough to watch the movie. The 3D was really great too (hence my motion sickness). It was cool becuase it brought oyu into the movie, like when wood burned, ashes would come out to the audience, or when the jellyfish type seeds flew around you could see them pulsing all around you like little tinafores.

The story itself was really good and very sweet and dont worry also full of action. The plot wasn't all that original, but I didnt mind that too much. I kinda think of it as a cross between lord of the rings and the matrix...both solid movie series (i dont want to hear any of you nay sayers about the last matrix movie).

So my advice: Go see the movie, bring gingerale incase you feel queesy, and buy your tickets in advanced (oh yeah, and try not to go during a snow storm)
