This movie was amazing, it ranks in my top ten of this decade. It is visually remarkable, I have never seen anything like this in my life. It felt like I was watching Star Wars for the first time, again. I cant remember the last time I was pulled into a film like I was when I watched Avatar. James Cameron has created something very special that we wont see again, for a very, very long time (unless there are sequels like he mentioned). There was incredible emotion in this movie, I was tense, sad, excited, everything they wanted me to feel in this movie, I felt. This movie blew me away, some of my friends complained that it was too long (2:40), and they could have cut the movie down, what do I say? No way! this movie was worth all the time I spent in the theater and money I spent at the box office. The special effects in this film are unrivaled. Everything looks amazing, it is absolutely believable. You know that a movie is fantastic when the writer/director take a completely unbelievable story, and make you believe every single bit of it. I think that every person should see Avatar, it will seriously blow your mind. I would see it again, I will buy it when it comes out. Its crazy, it will be on a lot of peoples top movie lists. It will definitely win some goods at the AA's. Go see it, its so cool. 9 1/2 out of 10
