So... I'm not known for jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to the latest "fad". Had my boyfriend never suggested it, I probably would have never seen Avatar in theaters. I would have read all the blogs, seen all the news stories, ignored the fact that Avatar has been a trending topic on Twitter on and off for about three weeks now, and dismissed the opinions of my friends, family members, and strangers alike; All because I refuse to hop on a bandwagon.
Luckily, I did get the chance to see it, and I must say that this movie is not only AMAZING, but may be the best of the decade.
So apparently James Cameron, writer and director of the movie, also wrote and directed many popular movies, including Titanic and the Terminator. What intrigued me the most about the production of this movie was the fact that it took over ten years to complete. Cameron originally planned to film this movie after Titanic's 1997 release, but decided to wait until the technology that he needed to bring this film to life was advanced enough. The film was well worth the wait. This sci-fi/love/comedy/action film was the first 3D film I saw in theaters, and has definitely set the bar pretty high for any 3D movie set to release any time in the near future.
I won't spoil the film for anyone who dare admit that they haven't seen it, but I will say that the movie is even better the second time around. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana portray main characters "Jake Sully" and "Neytiri". The 3D quality, mixed with the amazing acting, makes you feel as if you are there with them, not just startled by things flying past you.
If you have not "hopped on the bandwagon" and seen this movie, feel free to give in and satisfy your curiosity. I assure you,it is well worth the hype.
