So I went out about 3 Hours ago and saw it. Was it good you may ask... To that I say:



F**K YEAH



If you have [Insert how much cash a movie costs near you] on you, get off your ass, and go see it. The movie will blow your mind, reassemble it, blow it again and then blow up the remaining pieces. If you remember my post on 'District 9', take that and multiply it by a few thousand. That'll skim the surface of how amazing this movie was.

James Cameron has made a movie that borders that of Titanic. The visual effects were beyond remarkable. The art department covered every square inch with something that moved or was filled with some sort of vibrant color. I loved how Cameron used the colors to emphasize moods. For instance, the Na'Vi, which are the indigenous population on the planet of Pandora, have little speckles across their body that glow when they are feeling a large amount of emotion such as love or hate/rage.

The different colors of the flora and fauna are pleasing to the eyes and really keeps you drawn into the movie. That, and almost everything apart from some props and the humans (which could have been CG too for all we know) was digital. There is a scene where the digital Na'Vi meet the real humans and I couldn't tell any sort of difference between the two. This is one of those movies that you want to buy on blue-ray as soon as it comes out.

The only bad portion that I found was the ending. Avoiding spoilers, after seeing a certain scene, you are able to (hopefully) figure out the ending long before it hits.

That aside, the movie was well worth the money and I'll be sure to but it on blue-ray when it comes out. One suggestion though before I end: Bring a lot of popcorn! the movie is about 2 1/2 hours long.
